Russia- Yeltsin opens memorial synagogue in Moscow
T/I: 11:11:15
Hoping for a temporary break from the heavy demands being put upon him by his nation's looming financial and political crisis, Russian leader Boris Yeltsin on Wednesday (2/9) engaged in some lighter presidential duties by opening a memorial synagogue in Moscow. Yeltsin toured the new synagogue and looked around a museum of the Holocaust, also on the site at Poklonnaya Gora in Moscow.

Russia - Jewish culture
T/I: 10:32:09
The Jewish holiday Hannukah--the festival of lights-- began at sundown on Thursday (05/12), and Russian Jews are celebrating the holiday with more freedom than ever before, as Jewish culture is undergoing a slow but steady renaissance. Russian judaism has come a long way since thousands of Jews emigrated during the communist era. Under Soviet rule, Judaism and other religions were officially regarded as antiquated superstitions, and against the interests of a socialist state; and so anti-Semitism became an undeclared policy of the state.
Just being a Jew could have brought one to prison, and if one dared study Hebrew or practice Judaism, legal persecution was likely to follow. To this was added a residual anti-Semitic sentiment among some Russians, dating back to the pogroms of the 19th century.
Today, things are changing radically. Perestroika, and especially Russia's independence in 1991, allowed Jews to achieve the recognition of their identity. Russian Jews now feel more free than ever to embrace their heritage, almost lost during decades of oppression.
One of Moscow's synagogues, the Polyakov synagogue on Bolshaya Bronnaya street, was closed in 1939 and turned into the headquarters for mass May Day and Revolution Day demonstrations. Only in 1991 was it was re-opened. Today, it helps religious Jews discover their roots and heritage through religion. There are prayers held several times a day. The synagogue is home to Moscow's only Jewish bookstore, where people can find a wide range of Jewish literature. Across the street is Moscow's only Kosher food store, where people can buy items that meet Jewish dietary law. Moscow even has three government-run special schools -- in addition to two private schools-- where students study
Hebrew and Jewish culture.

Tomsk about Mikhail Khodorkovsky , part I
Russia: St. Petersburg's Jewish community celebrates Hanukkah
Chief Rabbi of St. Petersburg Menachem Mendel Pevzner lit the first candle on the 6-metre (20 feet) menorah at the Grand Choral Synagogue in St. Petersburg on Sunday.
All other festive events to celebrate Hanukkah were cancelled in St. Petersburg due to the Tu-154 plane crash. People could be seen lighting up candles and praying in memory of the victims.
Hanukkah, which is also known as Festival of Lights, is celebrated for eight days, and can fall any time between late November and December. 2016 is the first year since 1978 when the Jewish holiday coincides with Christmas.

Cantor Mordechai Hershman- Flyshike Yidin
Mordecai Hershman
1888 - 1941
Like so many of the great Chazanim of the Golden Age of Chazanut, Mordecai Hershman was a Russian.
He was born in Cherinov in 1888, and his father, who was a glass-merchant, had no interest in singing whatsoever. Sadly, Mordecai was orphaned at the age of six and it turned out that his foster parents were equally disinterested in music.
However, it may well have been their discouragement that turned the young Hershman towards the Synagogue in order to satisfy his thirst for singing, and it was through the pleadings of the local cantor with his foster parents that Mordecai was allowed to take lessons.
At the age of twelve, he was adopted by his grandfather who took him to Solovio, where he continued his studies under Chazan Dorfman.
By 1905 Chazan Dorfman considered his protege to be ready and he applied for, and was appointed, Chazan Sheni (Assistant Cantor) to the Vilna Synagogue, earning 12 roubles a month!
When the incumbent Chazan Rishon (Chief Cantor) died, Hershman applied for the position, and against some extremely fine opposition, he was appointed Chazan Rishon himself. Since Vilna was one of the most flourishing centres of Jewish life, at this time, this post Rishon at the main Synagigue was indeed a coveted one.
In 1914 Hershman was drafted into the army and it's related that his commanding officer was so impressed with his singing, that he was released from army service and returned to his Synagogue. (This, and similar apocryphal stories, are related about many Chazanim. It is of course very difficult to verify, but is a charming notion nevertheless!)
After 1918 Hershman sang extensively throughout Russia and the rest of Europe. He became so famous that his own Synagogue released him to officiate only twice per month and he conducted services in many communities on the other Shabbatot. In concert he often sang operatic arias and appeared as soloist, twice, with the Warsaw Philharmonic.
The famous Choir Director Leo Lowe heard him and invited him to go to America which he did in 1920 where he was appointed Chazan at the Temple Beth-El in Boro Park, Brooklyn.
Hershman toured and concertised all over the States, as well as conduct services in all the major Synagogues.
He died at the very early age of 52 in 1941, deeply mourned by countless admiring fans.
We are fortunate to have many recordings of Mordecai Hershman in which we can still thrill to his high, lyrical, tenor voice. Some of his recordings have become classics and are frequently performed by modern Chazanim. Eilu Devarim, Shma Koleinu and Aneinu are amongst the most well-known and many Chazanim use his rendering of the Beracha for Hallel as standard. You are also very likely to hear his Sheva Berachot being sung, (though not, perhaps as he would have sung them himself!)

Great Synagogue, Brody, Ukraine
The Jewish community of Brody (district city in Lviv region of western Ukraine) was one of the oldest and most well-known Jewish communities in the western part of Ukraine (and formerly in Austrian Empire / Poland up to 1939). Jewish community of Brody perished in the Holocaust in 1942–1943 and is no more today. During the 19th century, Brody was the second largest city in East Galicia (after Lviv (Lemberg)), with the highest proportion of the Jewish population (88%) among Eastern European cities.

My channel on you tube : is one of the most prolific from Poland, although unfortunately not the most visited. With almost one film per day, one may be forgiven for thinking I do nothing else but I do have a day job as well. I have produced almost 600 original films, most in English but also in Polish, French, Italian, Spanish and the occassional hint of German and Hebrew. My big interest in life is travel and history but I have also placed films on other subjects
Please feel free to ask questions in the public area or to comment on things you disagree with. Sometimes there are mistakes because I speak without preparation. If I see the mistakes myself, I make this clear in the text. Please also leave a star rating!
There are a number of films here on the packaging industry. This is because I am the publisher of Central and Eastern European Packaging -- - the international platform for the packaging industry in this region focussing on the latest innovations, trends, design, branding, legislation and environmental issues with in-depth profiles of major industry achievers. Most people may think packaging pretty boring but it possibly effects your life more than you really imagine!
Central and Eastern European Packaging examines the packaging industry throughout this region, but in particular in the largest regional economies which are Russia, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Ukraine and Austria. That is not to say that the other countries are forgotten, they are not, but obviously there is less going on. However the fact that there are so many travel related films here is not from holidays but from business trips attending trade fairs around the region. Every packaging trade fair is a new excuse to make another film!
In 1997 I founded Polish Business News .There are a number of business related films here and I intend to do many more on CRM (customer relations management).
My blog can be found via and and contains background information and more details of many of my films. This information is in English.
