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.)

54 Years Ago

I have seen nothing online about the anniversary of August 12, 1952, when Joseph Stalin had murdered 13 of the greatest Yiddish poets of the Soviet Union, in the Lubyanka prison.

Joshua Rubenstein documented the crime and its context in his 1997 book "Stalin's Secret Pogrom: The Post-War Inquisition of the Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee." Details from it can be found here.

In every generation they rise up to destroy us. Yet we still survive.
