Shul in Dubrovnik

Shul in Dubrovnik
~Jane Harrison, August 2010
As we sweltered in 34 + degrees plodding around the city wall in Dubrovnik, Michael suddenly asked me if I wanted to see the shul. "Only if it's really near here," I gasped. "We passed it earlier," he said brandishing our 'bible ' this great guide given to me by my boss.

Luckily it really was nearby, tucked up an alley, with only a door and its name to inform anyone that there was a shul up three flights of stairs.

Visit to Severnaya

Visit to Severnaya
~Jane Prentice, July 2010
Standing inside a tall grey office building in Moscow, trying to make the man in the reception understand me, I wondered if I had made a mistake. “The Jewish community?” I asked, in my louder than usual voice (the English tourist’s way of trying to communicate) but a blank look was the reply. However, I had the phone number with me and the man took it, phoned up and then pointed that I was to wait where I was. A few minutes later a young man came to reception, “Jane?” he asked, it was Rabbi Leonid Bimbat of the Moscow Centre for Progressive Judaism.
