Cork Jewish Culture Virtual Walk
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 авг 2020
- Produced and presented by Ruti Lachs and members of the Munster Jewish Community. A virtual stroll around Jewish Cork, with music, songs, poems, and history. Stories are told by Cork Jewish residents, past and present. Cork's Jewish community was at its most vibrant in the early 1900s. This project is part of a current effort to keep Cork Jewish past alive as part of Cork's Jewish present. The virtual walk includes a visit to the synagogue, the mikveh, the bridges connected with the community, the area where many Jews lived when they first arrived in Cork (nicknamed 'Jewtown' by locals), Shalom Park and the Evening Echo installation, and the site of a very old cemetery and a very new music session.
Very interesting. Thank you for illuminating us on Cork's Jewish history.
Well done Ruti
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.
That is an amazing story. If you have any more memories of the Jewish community I'd love to chat to you. Please contact me through the website www.rutilachs.ie. Thanks for your input.
Hi Jacqueline, please do get in touch, on rutilachs@gmail.com. Filis would love to hear from 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 so much :)
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.
Nice one! Memories, pictures, poetry, music and fine production! Congrats to all!!!
Thank you Ruti. Love your music and fun. Great to see you.
Enjoyed the walk........a bit of Memory Lane...... אֲלוּ שְׁלֹ֣ום יְרוּשָׁלִָ֑ם יִ֝שְׁלָ֗יוּ אֹהֲבָֽיִךְ׃
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.
Thanks Oisín. If your family have any stories they would like to share, I'd love to hear. They can contact me through the website www.rutilachs.ie. Glad you enjoyed it.
I used this in walkabout in Cork yesterday. This is well-produced and a delight to follow.
Fantastic! Good to hear. Thank you.
Brilliant!
Very interesting to hear about the history of the community of my grandfather, Samuel Cohen!

Thanks Dan. I'm still researching, do let me know if you want to be on the mailing list for further productions, you can contact me at www.rutilachs.ie
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?
There were not many Jewish people leiving in Cork any more. People left for bigger communities and opportunities.
Very interesting. I knew a little,of the Dublin Jewish community but not Cork.
That's very interesting, how do i get involved with the munster Jewish Community?
Hi Paul, thanks for your interest, I'll pm you.
