elionwyr"Synagogues of Southern Transylvania" at the Rotunda in West Philly
Info here...
Exhibit Description:
In the wake of the Holocaust and subsequent mass migration of the vast majority of Romania's Jewish population, countless synagogues fell into various stages of disrepair and decay. This photo exhibition aims to capture the transitional stage in which Romania now finds itself. With the entrance of foreign investors and NGOs, some synagogues are being restored, turned into cultural centers or finding alternative uses. Others remain abandoned, assuming a central location in the town's center and representing an evocative, stubborn reminder of the recent and troubled past.
..with klezmer music from the Carpathian mountains featuring Jake Shulman-Ment and Benjy Fox-Rosen Sat night only.
DANG I wish I could go!
