These Two are Breathtaking

These two items are on the 2nd floor where the women sit. The top pic is a handmade embroidered Ketubah. The details well no words, from the late 1800’s. Get this the 2nd pic is how women dressed in their bridal gown. Authentic to the times and the Sephardic traditions of the time. There were […]

The gentlemen who cares for the synagogue opened-up the ark so we can see the torahs. Chilling. The congregation bought almost all of the items inside. The electric and candle chandlers were bought by the wealthy clientele.

Moshe Nahon Synagogue

We were taken to this active synagogue in the Medina of Tangiers. At one time there were 17 Synagogues in the city. Sephardic jews thrown out of Spain came to Morocco to reset their lives. They first moved into the old city behind the walls but eventually as they gained more wealth moved out to […]

I will be a good girl after being bad.

For lunch a Starbucks cold brew and a small marinated orange. Seville is know for their orange trees all over the city. But you cannot just pick one to eat, very sour and will cause a stomach ache. What to do with all these oranges, leave it to the Spanish to make something really delectable. […]

Jarmon as far as the eyes can see!
