Here is the Art Of Abandoned Jewish Cemeteries of Hungary Zine that we worked on last year, its finally finished and ready for you to order and read it. We did a lot of research and work into this lovely little piece and we totally love it!!

You can order it here through Etsy, only a few in stock now!

Couple of words, why is it important to us, and in general: We created this zine with goals in mind – our one aim was to present and preserve at least a small part of the very rich cultural and and artistic values that we can find in the jewish cemeteries of Hungary. Our goal is to introduce the reader to the fascinating and interesting world of symbols of the jewish cemeteries, and also to preserve the memories of the former rural jewish communities of the country through this zine.

The zine’s aim also to raise attention to the state of jewish cemeteries in Hungary (and in Eastern- Europe in general). Today in Hungary there are approximately 1600 jewish cemeteries, most of them, according to some estimates close to 1200 of them are abandoned, neglected cemeteries. Due to the Holocaust and the extermination of the rural hungarian jewry, these cemeteries remained without owner and caretaker, and slowly they are going towards destruction. In many cases, these cemeteries are the only remained build heritage or sight that left of the once thriving rural, hungarian jewish communities.  A lot should be done in order to save this unique and important heritage – and this zine is only a small step in that direction. 

Also please check out the Behance page of the zine:)

In September 2009, Leonard Cohen performed at Tel Aviv's Ramat Gan Stadium, his first appearance in Israel since 1985. At the end of the concert, Cohen raised his hands in a rabbinical gesture and recited in Hebrew the birkat kohanim, the priestly blessing, to the crowd.

[is-the-thing-actually-jewish]

are hamsas a jewish thing? i see them all over jewish sites and in synagogues but i also see gentiles using/wearing them???

Short answer: Yes, hamsas are a Jewish thing, but they're not exclusively Jewish.

An open palm as a symbol is seen throughout the Middle East, and it is given many names and meanings. There is no consensus as to the origin of the symbol, but considering hand prints are seen even in paleolithic art all across the world, it wouldn't be that hard to see how a hand could become such an important symbol.

In Judaism, hands are often featured in artwork as the two hands of the Kohanim during the Priestly Blessing and as references to God's mighty hand when freeing the Jews from Egypt. Hamsas have been used as Jewish amulets since at least the Middle Ages, and there's evidence of hand symbology being used even earlier. The belief in Ayin Hara (The Evil Eye), which is often tied to Hamsas, is also a very old Jewish belief. It, too, is not an exclusively Jewish belief, but rather a belief common among Middle Eastern and Meditteranean cultures.

Not all Jews use the Hamsa as a symbol, and indeed many frown on it, seeing it as a superstition that is best not touched. However, it has been used for a long time by Sephardi and Mizrachi Jews, as well as more Kabbalistic Ashkenazi Jews.

Because of its appearence in both Jewish and Muslim cultures, the hamsa has become a symbol of Judeo-Islamic unity by some people. In 2009, the Hamsa Flag was envisioned as the flag of a united Israeli-Palestinian state.

In conclusion,

RATING: JEWISH (BUT NOT EXCLUSIVELY)

Hi! I thought this might be a good question to ask you since you are so knowledgeable. I’m writing an epic fantasy story and I need to do some research on what life was like for Jews right before and after the destruction of the 2nd beit hamikdash because that is the basis of the setting. I would also love some information about the daily life of the kohanim at the time. Could you help me out with some reliable sources? Thanks so much!

Some aspects of Jewish life c. 1st century CE:

Economy:

Large-scale household pottery manufacture

-Pottery manufactured by Jews does not need to be ritually purified

-Certain pots began to be standardized in size, indicating importance of measurements for other industries

Expansion of oil and wine industries (hence the standardized jars)

Culture:

Stone vessels. Varying explanations, but all have to do with maintaining a distinct Jewish identity.

A new type of oil lamp- knife-pared lamp.

Dining rooms for the wealthy.

Lots of Mikvaot

Rock-cut familial burial caves

Display tombs but only in Jerusalem

Jews regarded as distinct ethnicity both by themselves and by the foreign powers

Prayer developing. Prayer distinct from Temple worship had already begun after the destruction of the first Temple, and continued into the second Temple era.

Lots of apocalyptic and messianic cults especially as the destruction of the Temple grew closer.

Spoken language is Aramaic and Hebrew

Synagogues beginning to appear

Strong relationship between the Jews of Israel and the Jews of Babylonia

Lots of Halakhic debates

Corruption within the Kohanim because of the Hasmonean power vaccuum and the Romans appointing the High Priests instead of the Jews.

Sources:

Prayer in the Period of the Tannaim and Amoraim

The Torah of the Jews of Ancient Rome

I'm also tagging @didyoumeanxianity because they have a lot more experience with that era (I'm more biological anthropology than cultural).

Good luck with your novel, it sounds so exciting!!

"Bennett informed me that as director, Nimoy had all but imbued Star Trek III with a surfeit of Yiddishkeit. Nimoy began by depicting Spock's homeworld, Vulcan, as a hot, desert planet recognizable as a stand-in for Ancient Israel.

"'Vulcan is really the creation of Leonard's mind,' said Bennett. He noted that Nimoy saw Vulcan as a once-barbaric world peopled by a passionate race who had nearly destroyed themselves early in their history through civil war, yet channeled this energy into pure intellectualism. In so doing, they achieved species survival by becoming the most logical and least war-like of peoples. But despite their rationalism, they are still ruled by ritual and ideological orthodoxy. Even the costumes worn by Vulcan officials in 'Star Trek' were, according to costume designer Robert Fletcher, based on descriptions of the vestments worn by Temple Kohanim that he found in the Bible."

SHABBAT ✡️ ALERT ✡️ INSTRUCTIONS for those in ISRAEL

via ISRAEL REALTIME - Connecting the World to Israel in Realtime

(( Note Israel Realtime does not post updates on Shabbat (Israel time) unless life threatening / saving. ))

Chief Rabbinute instructions with details

🔸Erev Shabbat, Parshat Tzav, Leviticus 6:2, where G‑d instructs Moses to command Aaron and his sons regarding their duties and rights as kohanim (“priests”).

Shabbat Times here -> https://www.myzmanim.com/search.aspx

🔸NORTH - Risk MEDIUM-HIGH, particularly in Safed, Meron, Acre, Nahariya, Teveria, and Golan.  Precautions required, know your shelter options at synagogue, school, work and home - even shopping.

🔸SOUTH - Risk LOW, occasion rockets from GAZA almost exclusively near-Gaza villages, Sderot and Ashkelon and occasionally Ashdod. Outside of those areas resume normal activities.

🔸EILAT and NEGEV - Risk LOW, but occasional attacks from Yemen. Keep an eye open on shelter options.

❗️This is a LIFE and DEATH WAR - due to Pikuach Nefesh you MUST have a way to receive alerts on Shabbat!  Here’s how…

SILENT CHANNELS - Radio & TV stations go “silent broadcast” for Shabbat, ONLY alerts.

No TV or Radio?  STREAM IT on phone or computer.

➡️ SILENT TV -  Channel 14 - stream https://www.now14.co.il/live/ (doesn’t work with adblocker)

➡️ SILENT RADIO - 

• Kol Chai radio - on radio 92.8, 93 and 102.5. - stream https://www.93fm.co.il/radio/players/%d7%a9%d7%99%d7%93%d7%95%d7%a8-%d7%97%d7%99/

⁉️ ENGLISH SILENT CHANNEL - is there a silent channel in English?  NO.  But you can use Pikud HaOref ON SCREEN in English, see “ON COMPUTER” option above.

It is a mitzvah to take actions to protect and save and preserve life on Shabbat, not a violation.  But ONLY actions which do so.
