"The #tour follows a chronological tale of #Jewish life in #York. We start at Whip-Ma-Whop-Ma-Gate to set the scene of Jewish life in #Medieval York.

Here, we introduce some key figures at the centre of anti-Jewish violence that started in #London, in late #1189, before making its way north. Putting ourselves in the shoes of the Jewish community, we replicate their journey to #CliffordsTower, the site of the #1190massacre. This is the most significant Jewish site in York, which saw the complete annihilation of York’s 150 #Jews, the majority of whom chose #suicide in order to protect their faith and dignity from the mob.

From here, we explore the lesser known revitalisation of the Jewish community in the #13thcentury. This story is shared at the medieval #synagogue on Coney Street. Next, at the Norman House, we cover the build-up to the national #expulsion (#1290) and official return of #Jewry in the #17thcentury."

🩵💛 Blue & Gold. A stunning abandoned synagogue, built in the 1920s. Somewhere in the USA

The beautiful circular sanctuary held over 1,000 worshippers and supported the area's Jewish community as it grew to its peak in the 1930s and 1940s. It closed in the 1990s, as families moved away to more suburban areas as the town's industry declined and urban regeneration plans failed.

I am starting to blame #Netanyahu for these types of attacks. His government has created more #antisemitism due to their #CrimesAgainstHumanity.

2 dead in attack at #UK #synagogue on #YomKippur, suspect shot dead

2 people were killed Thursday when a man drove a car into pedestrians & stabbed a security guard in an attack at a synagogue in #England where worshippers were marking Yom Kippur, the holiest day on the #Jewish calendar, British police said.

The progressive activist lefty #synagogue in #Victoria#BC#Canada defaced with this:

“#Jews are evil! Because #genocide is evil! Stop genocide stop the Jews! Jews are murdering thousands of gentile children In the future #Palestinians will get their revenge against you child-killing #Jew-monsters!”

I've heard that little #antifascist joke about how many #nazis do you have at dinner for decades, and I don't want to hear it anymore.

"Unidentified vandals defaced two #Jewish sites in #Dolka, #Poland, over the weekend, spray-painting anti-#Israel slurs and #Nazi #swastikas on the remains of a local #synagogue and a memorial at the Jewish cemetery.

The synagogue, located in southeast Poland, was destroyed by the #Nazis during the #Holocaust, while the cemetery’s memorial, built in recent years by townspeople, symbolizes pre-Holocaust coexistence between Poles and #Jews."

1. I cringe a bit sharing Ynet, but I dont see this anywhere else yet. Important to be aware that it's a right-wing rag if you dont follow Jewish media outlets.
2. This story is why you see some Israel-critical Jews squint at gentile anti-Israel rhetoric and hesitate to take it at face value. Particularly when its presented alongside clearly fucked up stuff.
