“#Jewish #cooking in #America closely follows American cooking in America,” says Jane Ziegelman, author of 97 Orchard, about the #food traditions of immigrant families who lived on #Manhattan’s #LowerEastSide near what is today the Tenement Museum in #NewYorkCity. But one thing that distinguishes Jewish #cuisine from those of other ethnicities is its lack of ties to one specific place. Since ancient times, Jewish food has absorbed the ingredients along the #diaspora trail. “Jewish food is tied to where #Jews are,” Ziegelman says. “It’s a really flexible cuisine.”

"#TheodoreRoosevelt had a thing about the #Jews. Not just the uptown #Manhattan Jews whose families had immigrated from Germany and Austria-Hungary in the middle years of the 19th century, people whose Reform #Judaism was tidier to the gentile eye than were the shuls of the #LowerEastSide. These were Jews whose prosperity made many of them business colleagues and political bedfellows of #Roosevelt and his Republican Party.

But Roosevelt’s #philosemitism extended deeper, into the Lower East Side itself and its #Yiddish-speaking, tenement-dwelling Jews whose crowded apartments and sweatshops drew the concern of social reformers such as the Danish-born pioneer photojournalist Jacob Riis.

Roosevelt befriended Riis, and as #NewYork’s head police commissioner from 1895 to 1897, he spoke to downtown #Jewish audiences, advocating the progressive cause of hiring by merit."

"You’d never know it from the outside, but a nondescript building on 16th Street in #Manhattan is home to the 24 million documents of the #YIVO institute, a massive #archive of #Jewish life in the last century, now celebrating its 100th anniversary. From the files of #Vilna’s Vaad Hayeshivos to #Yiddish newspaper clippings, Jewish immigration records, and anything imaginable in between, for us Jewish #history buffs, it was a veritable treasure trove"

Fixed this one today. I do enjoy the warmer weather, and they were kind enough to let us eat have lunch and a drink inside when our work truck wouldn't start.
To keep the transformers out of the water, I bent this metal shield. I also put transformers on the R and the B- os they have their own transformers instead of sharing one- a little more robust. I did leave the other letters alone (except for the A and R on the more paint chipped side, I remade those). The electrodes on the "A" cant be any further apart. I really should note that on my pattern. When your working with a tracing of a tracing, its tricky. I gotta digitize these patterns.

We actually have 2, 60ma transformers powering the 4/6 letters. I put in two, 30ma transformers. The lower current is less bright, but human eyes are really bad at seeing brightness. I bet you cannot tell which R and B are dimmer than the others ;)

"#NewYorkCity Comptroller and Democratic mayoral candidate Brad Lander was #arrested by federal agents at an #immigration court after he linked arms with a person authorities were attempting to detain.

Lander, as city comptroller, is the highest-ranking #Jewish elected official in the city.

A reporter with The Associated Press and other journalists witnessed Lander’s arrest at a federal building in #Manhattan, the latest confrontation between US agents and a Democratic politician objecting to the Trump administration’s mass detention and #deportation programs."

"Over the decades, #Jewish and #queer culture have intersected in a variety of interesting and significant ways, from a Jewish #anarchist who established one of the country’s first #lesbian bars in the #GreenwichVillage in 1925 to a former bathhouse popular with the #gay community that was run, for a time, by the famous Jewish songwriting brothers Ira and George Gershwin.

In honor of #Pride Month, we’ve rounded up eight #Manhattan sites of significance to the Jewish and queer communities, and the intersection between the two. Keep scrolling to learn more."

The iconic Statue of Liberty rises majestically at the entrance of the Hudson River, against the canvas of a brilliant blue sky. This symbol of freedom and hope stands unwaveringly on Liberty Island, a beacon of inspiration to all who lay eyes upon her.
