At Reform Congregation Beth Israel in Colleyville, TX - a gunman holding the rabbi and community hostage during #Shabbat services.

This is at least the 3rd time in so many years a #Synagogue has been attacked on Shabbos.

Day 1 of #TurkeyJewishRoadtrip:

Bursa!

"Every day one should work so that Judaism should thrive - and it will" says in a mixture of #Ladino and Turkish Mr. Leon Elnekave - the head of the 60 strong Jewish community of #Bursa...
Leon bey looks over the Geruş or Expulsion synagogue - named after the various Jews expelled to Bursa - first by the byzantines and later by the Sefardi Jews who arrived from Spain in 1492... Image
There are two "Bimas" at the beautiful #synagogue - one closer to the women section as Leon explains "so that they should hear" - I totally agree: "of course, the Torah is not only for the men!"

That guy who fired a gun on a #MiamiBeach street corner?
He’s lucky to be in jail today, instead of dead... having ignored @MiamiBeachPD officers’ commands to drop it.
Threading some detail here ....

Here’s some of the police report ...
He had already fired a shot on a busy #MiamiBeach corner, feet from a #school & a #synagogue
He had the loaded gun in his hand when @MiamiBeachPD arrived.
Turns out - it’s a weapon reported stolen 2 years ago.
It had jammed

This is a thread about Jewish eateries on the #LowerEastSide of Manhattan: #KatzsDelicatessen, #YonahSchimmelKnishery, and #RussandDaughtersAppetizers.

So, of course, it is also a thread about #immigration.
@KatzsDeli, 205 E. Houston St. Already famed for pastrami, Katz's was immortalized in #WhenHarryMetSally, and yesterday held a fake orgasm contest. Opened by others in 1888; Willy Katz became part owner in 1903, cousin Benny Katz joined 1910, and it's been Katz's ever since. #LES
@YonahSchimmelNY, 137 E. Houston St. Yonah Schimmel, a Romanian rabbi, operated a pushcart at Coney Island starting in 1895, and opened his shop in its present location in 1910. The best potato knish anywhere. Don't @ me. #LES
