The Jewish bookshelf


Photo of Star of David bookshelf at the patronato synagogue in Havana, Cuba is courtesy of "Albertdiner" who published it in Flickr where he focuses on photos from this city and its Jewish community. The photo is from the library in the basement of the synagogue which has many books in Yiddish.
I recognize the idiom “Jewish Bookshelf” from the discussion between secular and Orthodox Jews on the subject of who owns the Jewish cultural heritage

Hungarian Solomon’s seal Pendant

Hungarian Solomon’s seal Pendant Marta, a relative of mine, just came back from a visit to Hungary and since she knows how I like Solomon’s seals she brought me this charming pendant. Behind the green box there’s an explanation in Hungarian saying this emblem is good for preventing troubles.
