    Precipizi, an Italian Jewish Hanukkah dessert.
    Precipizi are fried balls of lightly sweetened, olive oil-inflected dough that are then rolled in warm honey. The honey hardens as it cools, creating a crispy, sticky outside and tender, donut-like middle. See the recipe here.

    Sephardic song from Turkey
    In this song Turkish Jews describe the Balkan Wars (1912-1913), when European armies were invading Edirne. Many Sephardic Jews served in the Ottoman Army. Until the 19th century the Spanish Jews who lived in Turkey were not yet serving in the Ottoman Army but in 1826 the Janissary soldiers revolted and they were disbanded by Sultan Mahmud, and as a result, the Sephardic Jews were gradually recruited as soldiers into the Turkish Army and many of them died during the Balkan Wars. The song is in Ladino, which is a version of old Spanish adopted by Sephardic Jews more than 500 years ago. In this song the city of Luleburgaz, where the Jewish Turkish soldier died, is located in Edirne near the Bulgarian border… Most interestingly, the last stanza lays the blame on King Ferdinand and his Edict of Expulsion (1492).

    Robotic rendering of the Torah at Berlin’s Jewish Museum
    The installation “bios [torah]” by the artist group robotlab refers to the activity of Torah writing performed in the Jewish tradition by a specially trained scribe, the Sofer. While the Sofer guarantees the sanctity of the Scripture, the installation highlights its industrial reproducibility. It simulates a centuries-old cultural technique that has long since been overtaken by media developments.
    The Torah written by the industrial robot is not kosher – its origins fulfill neither the material nor the immaterial requirements of Jewish religious law. The robot does not distinguish between parchment and paper. It also has no blessings. It writes what and how it is programmed to do.
    The installation title refers to an elementary component of computer technology, the Basic Input Output System (BIOS). BIOS is the system upon which all other computer programs build and is thus as fundamental to the development of the machine as Scriptures are to the cultural history of mankind.
    [It takes the robot 3 months to complete the process. It takes a rabbi nearly a year to write it out.]

    Mark, kneeling on his bed, removing his clothes anticipating his boyfriends arrival.  He will soon learn his boyfriend is not coming over for their normal afternoon play session, but to lock him in a full metal chastity belt. His boyfriend found out he was showing off his cock and letting other guys touch it so he decided to get a chastity belt to lock Mark in. Once Mark is locked in the belt, he will no longer be able to see or touch his penis, have an erection or jerk off.  The belt will stay locked on 24/7 indefinitely.

    Debido a la Inquisición Española, el número de judíos en España y específicamente Cataluña es muy bajo. Cuando la Inquisición terminó oficialmente en 1834, los judíos se les permitió regresar y podían practicar su religión más o menos liberalmente. Sin embargo, sólo después de 1968 cuando el Edicto de Expulsión fue revocado podían practicar judaísmo como una comunidad; antes sólo podían hacerlo individualmente. En el siglo XIX, poco a poco los judíos regresaron a España y empezaron a desarrollar sus nuevas vidas, construyendo sinagogas y formando barrios de judíos. Hoy hay aproximadamente 12.000 judíos que viven en España y la población continua a crecer.

        The girls’ school next to it was also burned and gutted in dec. 1947, during the massacre of Aden’s Jewish population. The pogrom, that erupted on December 2, 1947, was devastating - 82 Jews were murdered and 76 wounded; 106 out of the 170 existing Jewish shops in Aden were robbed bare and eight were partially emptied. Four synagogues were burnt to the ground and 220 Jewish houses were burned and looted or damaged.

    Kahal Kadash She'erit Yisrael is a group of 123 Orthodox Jews based in eastern Uganda and part of the wider Abayudaya Jewish community The Abayudaya Jewish sect in Uganda was formed in the 1920’s by military leader Semei Kakungulu and slowly gained knowledge of Judaism and it’s practices through Jewish travelers. By the 1970’s there were as many as 3000 members of the Abayudaya, but persecutions by the Idi Amin regime forced many to convert to Christianity or Islam. Today there are approximately 700 members and 5 synagogues based around the town of Mbale in eastern Uganda, with the majority of followers practicing Conservative Judaism.
