Just the other day, as we were getting ready to set up dinner, my 12 yr old daughter asked me an extremely shocking question. “Why don’t you and Tatty get along?” My heart skipped a beat. I finally found my breath and asked, “Why would you say that?" In a most innocent voice, she simply replied, “Because Tatty is always on the computer.”

Shanghai Surprise: Another Jewish Coup

Newly renovated Ohel Rachel Synagogue welcomes visitors to World Expo

When the World Expo 2010 opened in Shanghai this month, the spectacular Israel pavilion created a stir within the Jewish community. But that is not the only Jewish building in Shanghai attracting accolades. Much attention is being paid to the grand reopening of Shanghai’s Ohel Rachel (House of Rachel) Synagogue, which will now be available to the Jewish community during the Expo. Tycoon Jacob Sassoon built the ivy-covered shul on Shaanxi Road in 1920 in memory of his wife Rachel.
