Brilliant 👋

Jolly good, id eat a BLT to that! 😊

I came back here this morning because I woke up with your song in my head and really wanted to listen to it again ☺️

Wow, that is amazing, I'm from Cork, i always had an interest in Judaism, i lived in Australia, had Jewish friends, being all over europe visiting Jewish museums, its amazing to see this in my hometown. Thanks

That's very interesting, how do i get involved with the munster Jewish Community?

Very interesting. Thank you for illuminating us on Cork's Jewish history.

Very enjoyable and interesting history of many places that I’m quite familiar with. I’m curious what the reason for the synagogue closure was in 2016?

That was brilliant. Many thanks for sharing this.

what a great loss to cork that we do not have a jewish community their contribution to cork life can never be replaced i wish them all well and stay safe

As a Christian .....we will mind your synagogue.

Well done Ruti

Beautiful!

My Gran use to say cork had allot of Jewish people . I doubt they did but maybe it was home to a synogog at the time

Thanks t u participating n the Cork Profile on Cork Independent i so enjoyed this video. Im not Jewish but hve met several while working abroad. Im literally crying with delight watching it. As another commenter says here 'more please'. I hope u get loads f views from the 'pape'

So Happy to see this montage of work in progression and looking forward to seeing more with finished works in time.. Congrats

Well done Ruti, love it. when's the world tour !

Hi Ruti, Sadly Mrs Coffey from Albert Road passed away this week at the grand old age of 96, sadly she was probably the last of the old neighbours who could still remember a jewish community still living in Jewtown. rip Mrs Coffey

Lovely to hear about your boys, mum, in song ❤

Wonderful x So pleased you are still bringing joy to the world Ruti x Love Kim x

Fascinating though that the Jewish community in cork had mostly moved on. Glad that everybody has fond memories of cork.

Lovely Klezmer tune.

Accordion and soon, bongos. Life is going to be beeautiful.

Oy vey

Forgive me if I'm going a little off - topic but I will always have a respectful and affectionate place in my heart for Gerald Goldberg. It was '73 or maybe '74 (I think I was 4 at the time) and a child had been badly assaulted in a derelict building somewhere around the bottom of Barrack St, or Crosse's Green, maybe. As such, children all over the city were, as we would say to~day, 'on lockdown'... Of course after about 2 weeks I was deeply stir - crazy, and when my mother momentarily left the front door unattended while fetching money for the milkman, I seized my chance! Sensing that I had maybe a minute before I was missed, I made haste to get out of my Corporation cul~de~sac in Togher. Unfortunately, by the time I gave any consideration to getting _back_ I was already hopelessly turned around! Increasingly distressed (and with thoughts of 'The Monster' uppermost in my mind), I wandered through Togher, Glasheen, Wilton and Bishopstown without intervention or enquiry from anyone. I found out later that (of course) my parents were utterly beside themselves with worry, and had the Guards (police) scouring the streets for me. Having made it as far as Bishopstown Cross though, it was to be Mr. Goldberg, wondering what it was that so ailed this woebegone, snotty nosed little boy, tears streaming down his face, who was to be my rescuer. With the aid of a bar of chocolate he soon ascertained my name and address, and so it was that I was brought home in superb style in his fine big motor (a Daimler, possibly?) Ironically given the circumstances, it possibly wasn't my most streetwise movement ever - accepting chocolate _and_ a ride from a complete stranger(!) but of course Gerald Goldberg was a strictly honourable man, concerned only with my safety, and I should say, my parents were dumbstruck with gratitude... Of course, to paraphrase a great man, "The paedos, you will always have with you..." but given the spirit of the age we now live in ("No good deed goes unpunished!"), if this happened today, to be fair, I don't _think_ antisemitism would come into it, but some rich, political type coming into your decidedly hardscrabble council scheme in his big, chrome drenched conveyance to deposit children home would almost definitely be regarded with open suspicion, if not out and out hostility! ('Cos Jeffrey Epstein and Prince Andrew notwithstanding, that's just how nonce - cases roll, isn't it? In spite of having one of *the* most recognised faces in town, they drive around in their attention getting cars _delivering children home, safe and sound, to their parents??!)_ Ironically too (given the nature of the _other_ meeting) but this was not to be my encounteronly with Mr. Goldberg in that year! I so wish I could remember which incident actually happened first but at the time Ireland was in the middle of a dispute between local authorities and their tenants, and my parents were particularly militant members of a notably militant chapter of the Tenants' Rights movement, The Togher Tenants Association. Several of my neighbours had already been jailed and my dad was next on the list, whether this was simply for non - payment of rent or whether it was for some sort of breach of an injunction or contempt of court, I'm unsure; but with things turning tense the TTA and their allies first blocked the street in front of the City Hall, something I remember most vividly, with a great big articulated lorry bound for the docks looming over me(!) before, I believe on the spur of the moment, we invaded the Office of the Lord Mayor (Gerald Goldberg!) This would be another occasion when the Lord Mayor would be my benefactor with chocolate, albeit unwittingly this time, he unwisely having left a bar of Golden Crisp and a bar of Dairy Milk on a side table. I believe I opted for the Dairy Milk! I don't know if he kept cigars in his desk, perhaps to entertain important visitors, in the style of the times... If he did then perhaps it was as well that I was a small child, or I might have slipped a couple into my dungarees! I suppose that I should thank him, not just for bringing me home when I was lost!! and not just for all the chocolate, (lol!) but for having the decency and patience to allow our invasion force to simply get bored and withdraw peacefully when he might have said to the Guards "Get those smelly Corporation tenants and their chocolate filching pups out of my Sanctum Sanctorium, and if you need to bust a few heads, well _I_ won't hold it against you!" Lol! ;^)

nice song

Fascinating

Great work Ruti .. would love to hear more...

I loved your play .Keep up the good work. 👍

Thank you Ruti. Love your music and fun. Great to see you.

Thank you for putting this together, loved it. even though I've not been to Cork in close to 30 years, I have fond memories of my Grans house in Jewtown and I remember walking past the shul with her as a young child. great video !

Thank you Ruti for posting this, so lovely to hear from some of the old Cork jewish families speaking so fondly of life in Cork, and I love that after all these years of them living outside of Cork that they've managed to hold onto their beautiful Cork accents ! Ruti keep up the great work in maintaining a jewish presence and culture in Cork/Munster and fingers crossed that there will be a shul back in Cork city in the near future. Looking forward to watching Green Feather Boa.

This is very interesting. Thank you for sharing. I have very fond memories of a kindly Jewish man called Harry Hayman calling to our home when I was a child living in the countryside. He sold clothes, shoes, bedclothes etc. from his wine colored Anglia car. He always had a cup of tea at our home every week and my grandmother enjoyed chatting to him. His sister, Mrs. Rosenberg sold ladies clothes from a shop in the city. He had a brother and possibly a second sister. Such lovely memories. Thank you again.

(dance routine) hahahaha

Beautiful

Very interesting, thank you so much for sharing. My family in Cork had often talked about the historic Jewish community and still call that area 'Jewtown', and I've long wanted to learn more about the history there, very interesting.

Krazy and Freaky!!

👍

So so beautiful. Thank you for your music. Eve

I knew there was a Jewish community in Cork, and had seen the former synagogue when it was still operating, but I didn't know any more than that. Thanks so much for these glimpses into the history and present day community.

I really enjoyed your presentation. I sent it to my sister in Florida. Her hubby is Irish.

Very interesting. I knew a little,of the Dublin Jewish community but not Cork.

Nice video, Ruti!

Very interesting to hear about the history of the community of my grandfather, Samuel Cohen!

Nice one! Memories, pictures, poetry, music and fine production! Congrats to all!!!

I used this in walkabout in Cork yesterday. This is well-produced and a delight to follow.

Enjoyed the walk........a bit of Memory Lane...... אֲלוּ שְׁלֹ֣ום יְרוּשָׁלִָ֑ם יִ֝שְׁלָ֗יוּ אֹהֲבָֽיִךְ׃

very interesting thanks

Brilliant!

NICELY DONE, IMPRESSIVE!
