About Kesher Talk

  • "Kesher" means "connection" in Hebrew. The banner image is the mosaic floor of a 6th c. synagogue in Jericho, showing a menorah flanked by a shofar and lulav; the inscription reads "Shalom Al Yisrael." (This synagogue was destroyed by Arab vandals a few years ago. The condition of the mosaic floor is unknown.)

Tsunami anniversary: only one year

Today is the anniversary of the horrible tsunami disaster of southeast Asia.

We had a huge link roundup last year. And a followup.

Whizbang says it's the only blog which posted tsunami videos last year, which still has all of them up or is still online.

A month ago the NYTimes Magazine had a huge writeup on the rebuilding and remaining devastation, but I can't get to it online right now. But here's a slideshow and an audio-visual presentation.
A recent Q & A with the Council on Foreign Relations.

Some of the folks behind the TsunamiHelp (http://tsunamihelp.blogspot.com) team, the KatrinaHelp (http://katrinahelp.info) team (and from the teams that formed around the other disasters over this year) have coelesced into the WorldWideHelp Group (groups.google.com/group/worldwidehelp).

And they're observing the week ahead as Disaster Remembrance Week, to get the world's attention back to the victims and survivors of those disasters. Perhaps you'd care to take a look, and if you think it's worthwhile, pass the word?

Warm wishes for the season to you and those you hold dear.
