Running to Remember in Turin

By Daniel Reichel*

Almost 2,000 people gathered in Piazza Madama Cristina, in the heart of Turin, two blocks from the synagogue, to participate in the third edition of Run for MEM, the race for remembrance organized by the Union of Italian Jewish Communities with the Jewish community of Turin and the support of the World Jewish Congress.
“We run every day, in the frenzy of daily life, but today we do it with a message in our hearts, bringing with us the memory of the past and at the same time the desire to look at the future,” said President UCEI Noemi Di Segni, during the opening of the race in Turin, following the earlier races in Rome and Bologna.
As in the past, 82 year old Shaul Ladany, an Israeli Olympic runner who survived the Nazi lagers and the massacre of Monaco '72, was the exceptional testimonial of the race.

Michael Ascoli*

El Time ha nombrado Persona del Año 2018 a “Jamal Khashoggi y a todos los periodistas en peligro”. Por tanto, no se ha elegido a un hombre o a una mujer fuerte, como ocurrió otras veces en el pasado, sino a un grupo de personas, entre las que destaca el periodista asesinado Khashoggi, a quien se le ha dedicado un homenaje especial. La importancia del periodismo no es un nuevo descubrimiento, pero su reafirmación sigue siendo un hecho significativo.

Truth

By David Bidussa*

There are few things that are worthwhile keeping in mind, especially today. Truth is a challenging process, not a ready-made product that someone else has already prepared and assembled for us.

*David Bidussa is a historian of social ideas.

Italian Dish Pharaoh’s Wheel Is Delish

By Debby Segura*

I read “The Classic Cuisine of the Italian Jews” by Edda Servi Machlin cover to cover, something I’ve done perhaps twice in my entire life. I just couldn’t put it down. Machlin tells the story of her community of Livorno Jews. Livorno Jews were originally brought from Jerusalem to Italy by the Romans as slaves, just as depicted on the Arch of Titus in Rome. They were not Sephardic Jews, as they never passed through Spain. Although they lived in Europe, they were not Ashkenazi Jews either. They were Romaniote Jews. They were Jews brought to Italy and Greece by the Romans. I was transfixed.
Their foods were not purely Sephardic, certainly not Ashkenazic, but not your basic Northern Italian either. Their recipes were uniquely Livorno and uniquely Jewish. And that really would have been enough (or as we say “Dayenu!”). But these foods intimately linked Livorno Jews to our Jewish calendar and holidays in a wonderful way — with creativity, with flavor and with a zest for living.

*The article was published in The Jewish Journal on January 16, 2019.
