Last night a friend in Budapest told me that her heart is broken because the Kazinczy Street Synagogue had been taken away from the small local community. Since that synagogue was built by Ezi’s grandfather, and we admired it years ago when we visited, I wanted to find out more.
And it appeared in today’s paper.
Another example of dictatorship.
May it be for a blessing.
Here it is! I found it in my old diaries

Where would I be without multitasking? One thing always teaches me about another. And yet, when I took my attention from Tisha BÁv last week and wrote a piece for First of The Week : Journal of the Radical Imagination,
I put my enitre focus on it. It was supposed to come out yesterday, but something went wrong and the issue isn’t up. That just shows you – you should never put your faith in one thing.
So now I have another task to concentrate on – the Oct 9th evening for me at the Writers’ House on Kaplan Street. It will be called “Passion for Life” and feature a number of languages and I hope a number of people I love.
This is after I failed miserably to arrange a trip for my bar mitzvah grandchildren. Couldn’t get it together, couldn’t work out the dates, flights, sites, etc. I must have spent hours every day planning things that either got shot down or ignored and now I’ve got to find a way to reedeem the plan.

the sea was angry in the evening. at least the lifeguard was. He kept warning, “Hey Honey, get back into the safe zone. It’s wild out there.” or “Come back to me, Baby. You’re going too far!” Me and my friend were out in the sheltered part so it was like sea bathing rather than swimming. Still, the sea washed out momentarily the violence and evil on the land, and we could talk about love and friendship and good things.
Then we went back to shore, and cherished the spirit of escape for a few minutes. The 2nd is our Jewish Valentine’s Day.

You don’t. Mind if I test out other ways of writing this do you? I was sat the sea this evening and didn’t have a chance to write on my computer as usual. The letters are small in my.cell but they may come out ✅
