16 Tamuz - The Golden Calf- 1313 BCE

On this day in the year 1313 BCE, the Jewish people created the Golden Calf. When Moshe ascended Mt. Sinai to receive the Torah on the 7th of Sivan, he assured the people that he would return 40 days later in the morning. He left Aharon and Chur in charge. The people mistakenly thought that the day Moshe ascended counted as the first day, even though he was not on the mountain for the full day. According to their miscalculation, the 40th day was today. When high noon arrived and the morning had clearly passed, the people panicked. They thought that Moshe had surely died on Mt. Sinai, and they were now leaderless in the desert.

Chur tried to reason with them and convince them of their calculation error. In their state of hysteria, the people killed him. Witnessing this, and having complete faith that Moshe would return, Aharon stalled for time. The people asked for an idol to replace Moshe, falling back on the beliefs they had abandoned in Egypt. Aharon said he would need their silver and gold to create the idol, thinking the people would at least hesitate to do this. Everyone gave generously. Aharon then threw all of the precious metal into the fire, hoping that would delay. Some stowaways from Egypt used sorcery at that point, and the Golden Calf emerged. In one final attempt to stall, Aharon built an altar and said tomorrow we will make a holiday for this new god, completely confident that by then Moshe would be back. Again, in their zeal, the people rose early to worship the calf before Moshe had time to descend the mountain. Later in the morning, Moshe returned. When he witnessed the treacherous behavior, he smashed the brand new stone tablets in an attempt to wake the people up.

The Jewish Museum of Rome is located in the Great Synagogue monumental complex. Walking across the different rooms you can see a reconstruction of Jewish life in Rome since the earliest settlement in the second century before the Common Era.

The Jewish community has been living continuously in Rome for 2,200 years, making it one of the oldest communities outside of Israel. The exhibits on display in the museum date back principally to the ghetto period (1555-1870) and all come from the original ‘Five Synagogues’ building. The rich collection includes liturgical furnishings, manuscripts, incunabula, historical documents, records and marble works. Since 1960, the museum displayed its treasures in a single room, but the study and cataloguing of all the works required a larger display area. The new exhibit was inaugurated in 2005. The museum covers an area of 700 square meters and unfolds through seven rooms with different themes. It offers a reconstruction of the Jewish people life in Rome and shows us how they managed to integrate into the socio-economic structure of the city, while they maintained their own identity.

It's madness trying to pack, finish up affairs in Maryland, keep up with grad school, and handle medical stuff. Trying to find a little peace before we leave in a week's time. Key word: trying. Things are messy and up in the air, but the candles are beautiful, the light pure, the silver holders antique Yemenite work we found in the Quarter and lost our hearts to, a reminder of everything we love. There's peace when you stop, breathe, and let it in.

Los Y'israelitas son probablemente los más adaptados a las noches oscuras sin electricidad. El hecho es que pasar las tardes a la luz de las velas es un elemento tradicional del estilo de vida Israelí. Cada semana celebra Shabat. Encendemos luminarias en casa, [una parte obligatoria de la Toráh [Ley] del Shabat, que nos recuerda el cuarto mandamiento]. Nuestros hogares se llenan de paz y confort... Y "desconectamos" en el buen sentido. Sí, hay existencias de velas, probablemente, en casi todos los hogares Israelís. Después de todo, Shabat es cada semana. Debería haber muchas velas. Por ejemplo, incluso antes de la guerra, me abastecí durante varios meses. Y ahora ayuda mucho. Y, en general, no importa lo que haya allí, puedes intentar encontrar, incluso en algo absolutamente inútil, algo realmente hermoso. Lo principal es saber qué hacer en estas tardes oscuras. Oscura no solo físicamente, sino también espiritualmente... Shabat está a punto de comenzar. Un momento perfecto para orar y leer algo que es realmente alentador e inspirador. Por ejemplo, la Tanakh [Biblia]. #shabbat #shabbatshalom #shabbatcandles #shabat #shabatshalom #shabat_shalom #шабат #шабатшалом #шаббат #шаббатшалом #torah #torá #тора #jewish #jewishtradition #jewishculture #jewishcommunity #гиюр #гіюр #євреї #евреи #candles #atmosphere #שַׁבָּת #cristianos #judiosmesianicos #yahweh #yeshúamisalvador #mashiaj #evangelicos Mis queridos, aguantemos.

22 Adar - The Jews of Hollywood - 1927

On this day in 1927, The Fox Film Corporation gave its first demonstration of the process that it would use for a new feature, Movietone News, that would allow filmgoers to see and hear scenes from recent events. Fifty reporters were escorted into Fox-Case's New York studios at 10:00 that morning and filmed. Four hours later, the same group saw and heard themselves when the film of the press conference was screened.

Fox Film Corporation was founded by William Fox. Born Wilheim Fuchs along with the founders of MGM, Paramount, Warner Bros., Universal, and Colombia Picture he was part of a small group of top-level Jewish-born entrepreneurs who fashioned Hollywood. Besides their professions, they practically all fit the same profile: 2nd generation Americans from observant Eastern European Jewish homes all abandoning the traditions of their youth.

It was not a coincidence that the first talking movie out of Hollywood was the Jazz Singer, produced by Warner Bros. The movie is the story of the son of a Jewish cantor, played by Al Jolson, whose father kicks him out of the house because he wants to become a jazz singer. In the process, he falls in love with a non-Jewish woman. The “happy ending” is when he returns home to chant the Kol Nidrei service with his mother and gentile girlfriend watching admirably, and subsequently, his mother comes to watch him perform on Broadway. The movie was quite auto-biographical for Jolson and the group of Jewish filmmakers. The movie was later remade twice. Once starring Jerry Lewis and once Neil Diamond. Again, quite an autobiographical role.

Apples and honey are eaten for a sweet new year

Traditionally, people begin the Rosh Hashanah meal by dipping apple slices into honey and saying a special blessing. These two foods are symbolic, representing the hope for a sweet new year. Other sweet treats may also be enjoyed for the same reason!
