"The usual perception of #Soviet #Jewish #literature after #WorldWarII is that there was none. The conversation around the decades after the #Holocaust usually focuses on the #refuseniks and large waves of emigration away from a place with a history of suppressing its Jewish minority.
A new collection of #translated #shortstories by Soviet #Jewishwriters, originally published in the #USSR in #Russian and — mind-blowingly — in #Yiddish, challenges that view. For someone who grew up in #Ukraine and #Russia not knowing much about my roots because my #Jewish grandfather remained silent on the subject of anything Jewish, I read “In the Shadow of the Holocaust” with a thirst I didn’t know I had.
In these 10 #stories by seven authors, Jewish survivors are dealing directly with the ruins of a world that is no more. Unlike their #American counterparts, however, they continue making a life in the proximity of the tragedy, among cemeteries and unmarked ravines."

New story, by me.
I let myself scream in the dark. I hope that, having read it, you feel like you're not screaming alone.
Free Palestine.
In lengthy post, #US #ambassador to Belgium Bill White accused Belgium of #antisemitic prosecution of #Jewish Belgians
Belgian FM Prévot called the accusation "dangerous #disinformation"
Belgium summoned the US ambassador
This sparked by news Belgian authorities are investigating whether 3 men who were performing #circumcisions without certified #medical training
Belgian law states that #medical procedures must be performed by licensed professionals
"When #Shakulashvili started speaking publicly about the long-lost #Yiddishtheater, non-#Jewish #Georgian #actors and #directors reached out. Many were stunned to learn that #Tbilisi once had a #Yiddish stage, shut down in 1926 by #Soviet authorities. A question emerged: Could the #theater be revived?
Shakulashvili’s discovery and networks forged online brought together Georgian historians, Jewish community leaders and actors of all backgrounds. #AnaSanaia, a prominent Georgian #actress, director and #playwright emerged as the #producer who’d make this dream a reality.
A century after its last #performance, the #TbilisiYiddishTheater reopened in 2023. The first production – performed in Yiddish and old #Russian, with Georgian supertitles – was #OsipDymov’s 1907 #drama #ShemaYisroel (named for a centerpiece prayer in #Judaism)."

This happened at our neighborhood playground during the presidential campaign leading up to Trump's first term. It had a big impact on me and my activism during that time period.
"Dozens of #swastikas were painted on a playground in a predominantly #Jewish area of #Brooklyn, #NewYork, in two separate incidents this week, prompting a hate crime probe, the New York Police Department said.
Gov. #KathyHochul on #X called the #vandalism “a depraved act of #antisemitism,” which comes during an extended period of such threats to the city’s Jewish community."

Starting to actively look for information about & from other #Jewish #Homesteaders, so far I've basically just found #books from or on it as it existed about 150 years ago, a video or 2 of an introduction &/or Kosher animal slaughter on a farm but.. even as I'll likely order as many of those as I can over the next few year, I'm definitely looking for more information.
One of the problems with the videos I've seen of Christian homesteaders is beyond animal slaughter itself is so many recipes
