 n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n									Outdoor Skating FAQ\nWha
 t’s the difference between natural ice and refrigerated rinks?\nNatural 
 outdoor rinks rely entirely on cold weather to freeze the ice\, so conditi
 ons can change quickly. Refrigerated rinks use cooling systems to keep the
  ice frozen even during mild temperatures\, allowing for a longer and more
  reliable skating season. \nHow do I know if a natural rink is safe to ska
 te on?\nAlways follow posted signage or municipal updates. Many natural ri
 nks are unsupervised\, so ice thickness and surface conditions can vary. I
 f a rink is closed\, flagged\, or shows signs of melting\, do not skate. \
 nAre helmets required for outdoor skating?\nHelmets are strongly recommend
 ed for all skaters and are required for children at many municipal rinks. 
 CSA-approved helmets provide the best protection. \nWhen do outdoor skatin
 g rinks open in the GTA?\nRefrigerated rinks often open in late November o
 r early December. Natural rinks open only after several days of consistent
 ly cold weather\, usually in mid- to late December\, but timing varies eac
 h year. \nDo I need to bring my own skates?\nMost community rinks require 
 you to bring your own skates. Larger venues like Nathan Phillips Square\, 
 Harbourfront\, Trafalgar Park\, and The Bentway often offer skate rentals 
 during the winter season. \nWhat’s the difference between a skating rink
  and a skating trail?\nRinks are flat ice pads used for leisure skating or
  hockey\, while skating trails are loop-style ice paths that allow conti
 nuous gliding—often winding through parks or urban spaces. 								\n

 n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n									Outdoor Skating FAQ\nWha
 t’s the difference between natural ice and refrigerated rinks?\nNatural 
 outdoor rinks rely entirely on cold weather to freeze the ice\, so conditi
 ons can change quickly. Refrigerated rinks use cooling systems to keep the
  ice frozen even during mild temperatures\, allowing for a longer and more
  reliable skating season. \nHow do I know if a natural rink is safe to ska
 te on?\nAlways follow posted signage or municipal updates. Many natural ri
 nks are unsupervised\, so ice thickness and surface conditions can vary. I
 f a rink is closed\, flagged\, or shows signs of melting\, do not skate. \
 nAre helmets required for outdoor skating?\nHelmets are strongly recommend
 ed for all skaters and are required for children at many municipal rinks. 
 CSA-approved helmets provide the best protection. \nWhen do outdoor skatin
 g rinks open in the GTA?\nRefrigerated rinks often open in late November o
 r early December. Natural rinks open only after several days of consistent
 ly cold weather\, usually in mid- to late December\, but timing varies eac
 h year. \nDo I need to bring my own skates?\nMost community rinks require 
 you to bring your own skates. Larger venues like Nathan Phillips Square\, 
 Harbourfront\, Trafalgar Park\, and The Bentway often offer skate rentals 
 during the winter season. \nWhat’s the difference between a skating rink
  and a skating trail?\nRinks are flat ice pads used for leisure skating or
  hockey\, while skating trails are loop-style ice paths that allow conti
 nuous gliding—often winding through parks or urban spaces. 								\n

 t’s the difference between natural ice and refrigerated rinks?\nNatural 
 outdoor rinks rely entirely on cold weather to freeze the ice\, so conditi
 ons can change quickly. Refrigerated rinks use cooling systems to keep the
  ice frozen even during mild temperatures\, allowing for a longer and more
  reliable skating season. \nHow do I know if a natural rink is safe to ska
 te on?\nAlways follow posted signage or municipal updates. Many natural ri
 nks are unsupervised\, so ice thickness and surface conditions can vary. I
 f a rink is closed\, flagged\, or shows signs of melting\, do not skate. \
 nAre helmets required for outdoor skating?\nHelmets are strongly recommend
 ed for all skaters and are required for children at many municipal rinks. 
 CSA-approved helmets provide the best protection. \nWhen do outdoor skatin
 g rinks open in the GTA?\nRefrigerated rinks often open in late November o
 r early December. Natural rinks open only after several days of consistent
 ly cold weather\, usually in mid- to late December\, but timing varies eac
 h year. \nDo I need to bring my own skates?\nMost community rinks require 
 you to bring your own skates. Larger venues like Nathan Phillips Square\, 
 Harbourfront\, Trafalgar Park\, and The Bentway often offer skate rentals 
 during the winter season. \nWhat’s the difference between a skating rink
  and a skating trail?\nRinks are flat ice pads used for leisure skating or
  hockey\, while skating trails are loop-style ice paths that allow conti
 nuous gliding—often winding through parks or urban spaces. 								\n

 n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n									Outdoor Skating FAQ\nWha
 t’s the difference between natural ice and refrigerated rinks?\nNatural 
 outdoor rinks rely entirely on cold weather to freeze the ice\, so conditi
 ons can change quickly. Refrigerated rinks use cooling systems to keep the
  ice frozen even during mild temperatures\, allowing for a longer and more
  reliable skating season. \nHow do I know if a natural rink is safe to ska
 te on?\nAlways follow posted signage or municipal updates. Many natural ri
 nks are unsupervised\, so ice thickness and surface conditions can vary. I
 f a rink is closed\, flagged\, or shows signs of melting\, do not skate. \
 nAre helmets required for outdoor skating?\nHelmets are strongly recommend
 ed for all skaters and are required for children at many municipal rinks. 
 CSA-approved helmets provide the best protection. \nWhen do outdoor skatin
 g rinks open in the GTA?\nRefrigerated rinks often open in late November o
 r early December. Natural rinks open only after several days of consistent
 ly cold weather\, usually in mid- to late December\, but timing varies eac
 h year. \nDo I need to bring my own skates?\nMost community rinks require 
 you to bring your own skates. Larger venues like Nathan Phillips Square\, 
 Harbourfront\, Trafalgar Park\, and The Bentway often offer skate rentals 
 during the winter season. \nWhat’s the difference between a skating rink
  and a skating trail?\nRinks are flat ice pads used for leisure skating or
  hockey\, while skating trails are loop-style ice paths that allow conti
 nuous gliding—often winding through parks or urban spaces. 								\n

 n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n									Outdoor Skating FAQ\nWha
 t’s the difference between natural ice and refrigerated rinks?\nNatural 
 outdoor rinks rely entirely on cold weather to freeze the ice\, so conditi
 ons can change quickly. Refrigerated rinks use cooling systems to keep the
  ice frozen even during mild temperatures\, allowing for a longer and more
  reliable skating season. \nHow do I know if a natural rink is safe to ska
 te on?\nAlways follow posted signage or municipal updates. Many natural ri
 nks are unsupervised\, so ice thickness and surface conditions can vary. I
 f a rink is closed\, flagged\, or shows signs of melting\, do not skate. \
 nAre helmets required for outdoor skating?\nHelmets are strongly recommend
 ed for all skaters and are required for children at many municipal rinks. 
 CSA-approved helmets provide the best protection. \nWhen do outdoor skatin
 g rinks open in the GTA?\nRefrigerated rinks often open in late November o
 r early December. Natural rinks open only after several days of consistent
 ly cold weather\, usually in mid- to late December\, but timing varies eac
 h year. \nDo I need to bring my own skates?\nMost community rinks require 
 you to bring your own skates. Larger venues like Nathan Phillips Square\, 
 Harbourfront\, Trafalgar Park\, and The Bentway often offer skate rentals 
 during the winter season. \nWhat’s the difference between a skating rink
  and a skating trail?\nRinks are flat ice pads used for leisure skating or
  hockey\, while skating trails are loop-style ice paths that allow conti
 nuous gliding—often winding through parks or urban spaces. 								\n

 n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n									Outdoor Skating FAQ\nWha
 t’s the difference between natural ice and refrigerated rinks?\nNatural 
 outdoor rinks rely entirely on cold weather to freeze the ice\, so conditi
 ons can change quickly. Refrigerated rinks use cooling systems to keep the
  ice frozen even during mild temperatures\, allowing for a longer and more
  reliable skating season. \nHow do I know if a natural rink is safe to ska
 te on?\nAlways follow posted signage or municipal updates. Many natural ri
 nks are unsupervised\, so ice thickness and surface conditions can vary. I
 f a rink is closed\, flagged\, or shows signs of melting\, do not skate. \
 nAre helmets required for outdoor skating?\nHelmets are strongly recommend
 ed for all skaters and are required for children at many municipal rinks. 
 CSA-approved helmets provide the best protection. \nWhen do outdoor skatin
 g rinks open in the GTA?\nRefrigerated rinks often open in late November o
 r early December. Natural rinks open only after several days of consistent
 ly cold weather\, usually in mid- to late December\, but timing varies eac
 h year. \nDo I need to bring my own skates?\nMost community rinks require 
 you to bring your own skates. Larger venues like Nathan Phillips Square\, 
 Harbourfront\, Trafalgar Park\, and The Bentway often offer skate rentals 
 during the winter season. \nWhat’s the difference between a skating rink
  and a skating trail?\nRinks are flat ice pads used for leisure skating or
  hockey\, while skating trails are loop-style ice paths that allow conti
 nuous gliding—often winding through parks or urban spaces. 								\n

 outdoor rinks rely entirely on cold weather to freeze the ice\, so conditi
 ons can change quickly. Refrigerated rinks use cooling systems to keep the
  ice frozen even during mild temperatures\, allowing for a longer and more
  reliable skating season. \nHow do I know if a natural rink is safe to ska
 te on?\nAlways follow posted signage or municipal updates. Many natural ri
 nks are unsupervised\, so ice thickness and surface conditions can vary. I
 f a rink is closed\, flagged\, or shows signs of melting\, do not skate. \
 nAre helmets required for outdoor skating?\nHelmets are strongly recommend
 ed for all skaters and are required for children at many municipal rinks. 
 CSA-approved helmets provide the best protection. \nWhen do outdoor skatin
 g rinks open in the GTA?\nRefrigerated rinks often open in late November o
 r early December. Natural rinks open only after several days of consistent
 ly cold weather\, usually in mid- to late December\, but timing varies eac
 h year. \nDo I need to bring my own skates?\nMost community rinks require 
 you to bring your own skates. Larger venues like Nathan Phillips Square\, 
 Harbourfront\, Trafalgar Park\, and The Bentway often offer skate rentals 
 during the winter season. \nWhat’s the difference between a skating rink
  and a skating trail?\nRinks are flat ice pads used for leisure skating or
  hockey\, while skating trails are loop-style ice paths that allow conti
 nuous gliding—often winding through parks or urban spaces. 								\n

 n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n									Outdoor Skating FAQ\nWha
 t’s the difference between natural ice and refrigerated rinks?\nNatural 
 outdoor rinks rely entirely on cold weather to freeze the ice\, so conditi
 ons can change quickly. Refrigerated rinks use cooling systems to keep the
  ice frozen even during mild temperatures\, allowing for a longer and more
  reliable skating season. \nHow do I know if a natural rink is safe to ska
 te on?\nAlways follow posted signage or municipal updates. Many natural ri
 nks are unsupervised\, so ice thickness and surface conditions can vary. I
 f a rink is closed\, flagged\, or shows signs of melting\, do not skate. \
 nAre helmets required for outdoor skating?\nHelmets are strongly recommend
 ed for all skaters and are required for children at many municipal rinks. 
 CSA-approved helmets provide the best protection. \nWhen do outdoor skatin
 g rinks open in the GTA?\nRefrigerated rinks often open in late November o
 r early December. Natural rinks open only after several days of consistent
 ly cold weather\, usually in mid- to late December\, but timing varies eac
 h year. \nDo I need to bring my own skates?\nMost community rinks require 
 you to bring your own skates. Larger venues like Nathan Phillips Square\, 
 Harbourfront\, Trafalgar Park\, and The Bentway often offer skate rentals 
 during the winter season. \nWhat’s the difference between a skating rink
  and a skating trail?\nRinks are flat ice pads used for leisure skating or
  hockey\, while skating trails are loop-style ice paths that allow conti
 nuous gliding—often winding through parks or urban spaces. 								\n

DESCRIPTION:SHADOW and LIGHT: DARKROOM EDITION is a group exhibition celeb
 rating the enduring power of analogue photography. This collection of Blac
 k and White images showcases the results of a specialized portrait worksho
 p hosted by the Hart House Camera Club\, at the University of Toronto wher
 e five photographers engaged in a rigorous three-hour studio and darkroom 
 exercise in visual storytelling. \nWhile the participants shared the same 
 physical environment utilizing the same models\, props\, and lighting\, th
 e resulting images reveal the profound subjectivity of the creative eye. T
 he exhibition acknowledges that perception is the architect of reality\; t
 hough the space was shared\, the experiences captured remain deeply person
 al and distinct… Perception becomes reality. \nCentral to this exhibitio
 n is the technical artistry of the wet darkroom. The final creative output
  relies on the delicate calibration of exposure\, aperture\, and contrast 
 to translate a film negative into a finished print. Each frame serves as a
  moment punctuated in time\, where the tactile manipulation of light and s
 hadow is used to deliver the photographer’s specific vision and emotiona
 l voice. \nThe works display in this exhibition were developed during my 2
 025-2026 residency. As part of this residency\, which supports The Univers
 ity of Toronto’s Hart House Camera Club artists in developing innovative
  darkroom expressions\, I facilitated this workshop that married technical
  instruction and individual artistic exploration. With the incredible tale
 nt of these photographers who participated\, this collaboration for ‘Sha
 dow and Light: Darkroom Edition’ came to be. \nThis exhibition serves as
  a testament to the intersection of traditional darkroom practices and con
 temporary storytelling.

 n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n									Outdoor Skating FAQ\nWha
 t’s the difference between natural ice and refrigerated rinks?\nNatural 
 outdoor rinks rely entirely on cold weather to freeze the ice\, so conditi
 ons can change quickly. Refrigerated rinks use cooling systems to keep the
  ice frozen even during mild temperatures\, allowing for a longer and more
  reliable skating season. \nHow do I know if a natural rink is safe to ska
 te on?\nAlways follow posted signage or municipal updates. Many natural ri
 nks are unsupervised\, so ice thickness and surface conditions can vary. I
 f a rink is closed\, flagged\, or shows signs of melting\, do not skate. \
 nAre helmets required for outdoor skating?\nHelmets are strongly recommend
 ed for all skaters and are required for children at many municipal rinks. 
 CSA-approved helmets provide the best protection. \nWhen do outdoor skatin
 g rinks open in the GTA?\nRefrigerated rinks often open in late November o
 r early December. Natural rinks open only after several days of consistent
 ly cold weather\, usually in mid- to late December\, but timing varies eac
 h year. \nDo I need to bring my own skates?\nMost community rinks require 
 you to bring your own skates. Larger venues like Nathan Phillips Square\, 
 Harbourfront\, Trafalgar Park\, and The Bentway often offer skate rentals 
 during the winter season. \nWhat’s the difference between a skating rink
  and a skating trail?\nRinks are flat ice pads used for leisure skating or
  hockey\, while skating trails are loop-style ice paths that allow conti
 nuous gliding—often winding through parks or urban spaces. 								\n

 n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n									Outdoor Skating FAQ\nWha
 t’s the difference between natural ice and refrigerated rinks?\nNatural 
 outdoor rinks rely entirely on cold weather to freeze the ice\, so conditi
 ons can change quickly. Refrigerated rinks use cooling systems to keep the
  ice frozen even during mild temperatures\, allowing for a longer and more
  reliable skating season. \nHow do I know if a natural rink is safe to ska
 te on?\nAlways follow posted signage or municipal updates. Many natural ri
 nks are unsupervised\, so ice thickness and surface conditions can vary. I
 f a rink is closed\, flagged\, or shows signs of melting\, do not skate. \
 nAre helmets required for outdoor skating?\nHelmets are strongly recommend
 ed for all skaters and are required for children at many municipal rinks. 
 CSA-approved helmets provide the best protection. \nWhen do outdoor skatin
 g rinks open in the GTA?\nRefrigerated rinks often open in late November o
 r early December. Natural rinks open only after several days of consistent
 ly cold weather\, usually in mid- to late December\, but timing varies eac
 h year. \nDo I need to bring my own skates?\nMost community rinks require 
 you to bring your own skates. Larger venues like Nathan Phillips Square\, 
 Harbourfront\, Trafalgar Park\, and The Bentway often offer skate rentals 
 during the winter season. \nWhat’s the difference between a skating rink
  and a skating trail?\nRinks are flat ice pads used for leisure skating or
  hockey\, while skating trails are loop-style ice paths that allow conti
 nuous gliding—often winding through parks or urban spaces. 								\n

 n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n									Outdoor Skating FAQ\nWha
 t’s the difference between natural ice and refrigerated rinks?\nNatural 
 outdoor rinks rely entirely on cold weather to freeze the ice\, so conditi
 ons can change quickly. Refrigerated rinks use cooling systems to keep the
  ice frozen even during mild temperatures\, allowing for a longer and more
  reliable skating season. \nHow do I know if a natural rink is safe to ska
 te on?\nAlways follow posted signage or municipal updates. Many natural ri
 nks are unsupervised\, so ice thickness and surface conditions can vary. I
 f a rink is closed\, flagged\, or shows signs of melting\, do not skate. \
 nAre helmets required for outdoor skating?\nHelmets are strongly recommend
 ed for all skaters and are required for children at many municipal rinks. 
 CSA-approved helmets provide the best protection. \nWhen do outdoor skatin
 g rinks open in the GTA?\nRefrigerated rinks often open in late November o
 r early December. Natural rinks open only after several days of consistent
 ly cold weather\, usually in mid- to late December\, but timing varies eac
 h year. \nDo I need to bring my own skates?\nMost community rinks require 
 you to bring your own skates. Larger venues like Nathan Phillips Square\, 
 Harbourfront\, Trafalgar Park\, and The Bentway often offer skate rentals 
 during the winter season. \nWhat’s the difference between a skating rink
  and a skating trail?\nRinks are flat ice pads used for leisure skating or
  hockey\, while skating trails are loop-style ice paths that allow conti
 nuous gliding—often winding through parks or urban spaces. 								\n

 n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n									Outdoor Skating FAQ\nWha
 t’s the difference between natural ice and refrigerated rinks?\nNatural 
 outdoor rinks rely entirely on cold weather to freeze the ice\, so conditi
 ons can change quickly. Refrigerated rinks use cooling systems to keep the
  ice frozen even during mild temperatures\, allowing for a longer and more
  reliable skating season. \nHow do I know if a natural rink is safe to ska
 te on?\nAlways follow posted signage or municipal updates. Many natural ri
 nks are unsupervised\, so ice thickness and surface conditions can vary. I
 f a rink is closed\, flagged\, or shows signs of melting\, do not skate. \
 nAre helmets required for outdoor skating?\nHelmets are strongly recommend
 ed for all skaters and are required for children at many municipal rinks. 
 CSA-approved helmets provide the best protection. \nWhen do outdoor skatin
 g rinks open in the GTA?\nRefrigerated rinks often open in late November o
 r early December. Natural rinks open only after several days of consistent
 ly cold weather\, usually in mid- to late December\, but timing varies eac
 h year. \nDo I need to bring my own skates?\nMost community rinks require 
 you to bring your own skates. Larger venues like Nathan Phillips Square\, 
 Harbourfront\, Trafalgar Park\, and The Bentway often offer skate rentals 
 during the winter season. \nWhat’s the difference between a skating rink
  and a skating trail?\nRinks are flat ice pads used for leisure skating or
  hockey\, while skating trails are loop-style ice paths that allow conti
 nuous gliding—often winding through parks or urban spaces. 								\n

 n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n									Outdoor Skating FAQ\nWha
 t’s the difference between natural ice and refrigerated rinks?\nNatural 
 outdoor rinks rely entirely on cold weather to freeze the ice\, so conditi
 ons can change quickly. Refrigerated rinks use cooling systems to keep the
  ice frozen even during mild temperatures\, allowing for a longer and more
  reliable skating season. \nHow do I know if a natural rink is safe to ska
 te on?\nAlways follow posted signage or municipal updates. Many natural ri
 nks are unsupervised\, so ice thickness and surface conditions can vary. I
 f a rink is closed\, flagged\, or shows signs of melting\, do not skate. \
 nAre helmets required for outdoor skating?\nHelmets are strongly recommend
 ed for all skaters and are required for children at many municipal rinks. 
 CSA-approved helmets provide the best protection. \nWhen do outdoor skatin
 g rinks open in the GTA?\nRefrigerated rinks often open in late November o
 r early December. Natural rinks open only after several days of consistent
 ly cold weather\, usually in mid- to late December\, but timing varies eac
 h year. \nDo I need to bring my own skates?\nMost community rinks require 
 you to bring your own skates. Larger venues like Nathan Phillips Square\, 
 Harbourfront\, Trafalgar Park\, and The Bentway often offer skate rentals 
 during the winter season. \nWhat’s the difference between a skating rink
  and a skating trail?\nRinks are flat ice pads used for leisure skating or
  hockey\, while skating trails are loop-style ice paths that allow conti
 nuous gliding—often winding through parks or urban spaces. 								\n

DESCRIPTION:We live in challenging times. Constantly connected through dig
 ital media\, yet often feeling isolated\, many experience pressure\, anxie
 ty and uncertainty. The lasting impact of recent global crises\, alongside
  concerns about climate change and social injustice\, has intensified ques
 tions around MENTAL WELLBEING and COLLECTIVE RESPONSIBILITY. \nJOURNEY OF 
 THE MIND draws directly on the writings of the Sikh teachers\, which offer
  practical guidance and clear insight into the nature of the mind – how 
 it wanders\, what obstructs it and how it can return to clarity. In Sikhi\
 , the MIND is both the source of SUFFERING and the gateway to FREEDOM. Thr
 ough focused practice (Simran)\, selfless service (Seva) and the support o
 f community (Sangat)\, Sikh philosophy offers a path toward inner steadine
 ss and purposeful living. \nThe exhibition explores these principles throu
 gh contemporary figurative and abstract works by artists from diverse cult
 ural backgrounds alongside short films. It reflects on the internal strugg
 les we face – the pull of fear\, ego and distraction – and proposes fo
 cused practice\, community and selfless service as foundations for CLARITY
  and PEACE. \nTo date\, JOURNEY OF THE MIND has toured five UK cities\, de
 buted in North America at the Queens Museum in New York\, and most recentl

DESCRIPTION:Sound in Sight: Reimagining the Polaris Short List invites aud
 iences to experience Canadian music beyond sound. \nSince 2006\, Polaris h
 as invited Canadian visual artists to create original poster works in resp
 onse to Short List-nominated albums. This exhibition presents a curated se
 lection of those works as a visual journey through the history of the Pola
 ris Short List\, alongside newly commissioned posters connected to the 202
 6 Short List. \nEach poster translates an album’s sound\, mood\, and cul
 tural world into a new visual form. Together\, the works offer another way
  to interpret and experience the albums that define this year’s Short Li
 st\, while also highlighting the ongoing creative relationship between mus
 icians and visual artists. \nBy placing music into a visual context\, Soun
 d in Sight asks how an album can continue to live beyond the act of listen
 ing\, and how visual artists help expand the meaning\, memory\, and cultur
 al life of Canadian music. \nThrough this exhibition\, Polaris invites aud
 iences to consider the album as more than a recording. It is a world of so
 und\, image\, feeling\, and interpretation. It is a cultural object that c
 an be heard\, seen\, remembered\, and reimagined. \nAbout the Exhibition \
 nSound in Sight: Reimagining the Polaris Short List features original post
 er artworks inspired by Polaris Music Prize Short List albums. The exhibit
 ion includes works created by Canadian visual artists in response to nomin
 ated albums\, with each piece accompanied by interpretive information iden
 tifying the album\, musician\, visual artist\, year\, and context of the w
 ork. \nPresented in the City Hall Rotunda\, the exhibition creates a publi
 c-facing entry point into the Polaris Festival and invites audiences to en
 counter the Short List through visual art\, design\, and storytelling.

DESCRIPTION:We’re delighted to welcome back Toba and Carolyn for their s
 econd exhibition at WAAC. \nWorking across acrylic\, oil\, mixed media\, a
 nd collage\, both artists explore the possibilities of colour\, texture\, 
 and layered composition on canvas\, paper\, and board. Yet each brings a d
 istinct voice to the gallery. \nToba draws deeply from nature\, using it n
 ot only as subject matter but as a way of thinking and living. The cycles 
 of growth\, decay\, renewal\, and transformation inform her artistic proce
 ss and emerge as recurring themes throughout her work. After studying fine
  art in Toronto\, Toba spent many years working as an art director for a v
 ariety of Canadian publications. Now retired\, she paints full-time in her
  studio. Her work is held in private collections in Canada\, the United St
 ates\, and South Africa. \nCarolyn’s work is colourful and expressionist
 ic. Through movement and colour\, she seeks to create an emotional connect
 ion with the viewer. Her paintings explore people\, feelings\, and the com
 plexity of human connection\, inviting viewers to engage with the energy a
 nd emotion within each composition. \nTogether\, Toba and Carolyn’s work
  creates a compelling dialogue between the outer world of nature and the i
 nner world of emotion\, offering two distinctive approaches to colour\, ex
 pression\, and the experience of being human. \nVernissage: Saturday\, Sep
 tember 19 | 1-4 pm

DESCRIPTION:From documenting war zones to painting a new city – an artis
 t’s journey into belonging \nOlesya Bondareva spent two decades as a doc
 umentary filmmaker\, capturing war and lives on the margins. Now settled i
 n Toronto\, she turns that same eye toward a new subject: the city itself\
 , and what it takes to belong to it. \nIn Drawing Myself Into Toronto\, Bo
 ndareva uses painting\, drawing\, movement\, and video to trace her arriva
 l in an unfamiliar place. Working in pastel\, watercolour\, and acrylic\, 
 she transforms fragments of the city\, its architecture\, colour\, rhythm\
 , into what she calls “Narrative Expressionism\,” turning physical spa
 ce into psychological landscape. \nRather than documenting a relationship 
 with the city that has already been established\, the works in Drawing My
 self Into Toronto reveal the process of creating one – as Bondareva dis
 covers Toronto and\, at the same time\, discovers who she is within it. \n

 n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n									Outdoor Skating FAQ\nWha
 t’s the difference between natural ice and refrigerated rinks?\nNatural 
 outdoor rinks rely entirely on cold weather to freeze the ice\, so conditi
 ons can change quickly. Refrigerated rinks use cooling systems to keep the
  ice frozen even during mild temperatures\, allowing for a longer and more
  reliable skating season. \nHow do I know if a natural rink is safe to ska
 te on?\nAlways follow posted signage or municipal updates. Many natural ri
 nks are unsupervised\, so ice thickness and surface conditions can vary. I
 f a rink is closed\, flagged\, or shows signs of melting\, do not skate. \
 nAre helmets required for outdoor skating?\nHelmets are strongly recommend
 ed for all skaters and are required for children at many municipal rinks. 
 CSA-approved helmets provide the best protection. \nWhen do outdoor skatin
 g rinks open in the GTA?\nRefrigerated rinks often open in late November o
 r early December. Natural rinks open only after several days of consistent
 ly cold weather\, usually in mid- to late December\, but timing varies eac
 h year. \nDo I need to bring my own skates?\nMost community rinks require 
 you to bring your own skates. Larger venues like Nathan Phillips Square\, 
 Harbourfront\, Trafalgar Park\, and The Bentway often offer skate rentals 
 during the winter season. \nWhat’s the difference between a skating rink
  and a skating trail?\nRinks are flat ice pads used for leisure skating or
  hockey\, while skating trails are loop-style ice paths that allow conti
 nuous gliding—often winding through parks or urban spaces. 								\n

DESCRIPTION:Blog #5: RENAISSANCE FLORENCE – ART ANDRELIGIONMarch 30\, 20
 26Ciao\, I nostri amici! As we’ve been touring round the magnificent art
 \, especially the sculpture\, we’ve gained a deep appreciation of why Fl
 orence is considered to be the birthplace of the Renaissance. We’d like 
 to take you on a virtual tour to show how this new way of viewing the worl
 d developed. We begin with a statue of David\, sculpted by a young Donatel
 lo around 1408: He is posed like a victorious knight with the head of the 
 slain Goliath at his feet – more of a military figure than a religious o
 ne. This was Donatello’s first break with medieval classicism. He contin
 ued to make great strides by the time he sculpted his second David in 1440
 :  This David is the first freestanding nude\, with a confident\, relaxed 
 – and sensual – pose. The Florentines were now ready to enjoy the huma
 n body as beautiful rather than something dirty to be hidden. But even mor
 e is going on during this artistic transition. Take a look\, for example\,
  at Michelangelo’s David\, completed in 1440:  David carries his sling o
 ver his shoulder and grasps a stone in his hand\, ready to attack the Phil
 istine enemy. But as you admire the beauty of this statue\, does it seem t
 o depict a biblical youth? Or perhaps the perfect body of a Roman God? (By
  the way\, we must point out a flaw committed by both these artists: you
 ’ll notice that David isn’t circumcised!) So we see that Renaissance a
 rt often depicted a harmonious blend of Roman paganism with Christian reli
 gion. We see this also in an earlier sculpture by Michelangelo:  Is this D
 avid reaching for his sling\, or Apollo reaching for an arrow? Even art cr
 itics are divided on this question. We can also witness this blend in pain
 tings – for example\, this work by Boticelli\, titled “The Rite of Spr
 ing”:  Is the central figure\, with arms in welcoming gesture\, the godd
 ess Venus – or the Virgin Mary? In contemporary Italian Catholicism\, Ma
 ry is the major figure of worship rather than Jesus. To some people\, the 
 rituals of veneration toward Mary (e.g. crowning the head of her statue wi
 th laurels\, making votive requests for her to grant a wish) are more remi
 niscent of superstition than religion. However\, we found a different answ
 er in a church we visited on Palm Sunday:  When you enter many churches in
  Europe\, your first reaction is often “oh Wow!” as you’re overwhelm
 ed by their massive size\, elaborate architecture and vivid frescoes. In t
 his church\, however\, named the Basilica of San Miniato al Monte\, we wer
 e drawn in by what Cheryl described as an aura of solemnity. When we walke
 d in\, the monk was giving a sermon\, and then later baptised a baby:  We 
 learned that this basilica is a working monastery. To help support themsel
 ves\, the monks make all kinds of jams\, sweets and household items\, whic
 h they sell in the shop beside the church. While I (Larry) was in line at 
 the counter\, a young woman ahead of me completed her purchase and then as
 ked the monk to bless her. (No photo here\; you will need to imagine the s
 cene.). The monk\, dressed in an impeccably folded beige cowl\, stepped aw
 ay from the counter to face her. In silence\, he placed a gentle hand on h
 er forehead\, let it remain for a few moments\, and then made the sign of 
 the cross before her face. The woman\, in tears\, thanked the priest and s
 lowly walked away. Having watched from nearby\, I couldn’t help but thin
 k what a wonderful experience – more than this: a sacred encounter – t
 o know that you are blessed. Speaking of blessing\, we send our warmest wi
 shes to you for a joyous Pesach and Easter season. May this time bring ble
 ssing to you and your loved ones. Ciao\, Rabbino Lorenzo e Cherylissima (h
 er new name\, given by a dear friend\, along with a blessing!) 								\n

  LAST!March 19\, 2026Ciao\, I nostri amici! We settled into our apartment 
 in Florence\, dropped our luggage and then did our first shopping trip. He
 re’s Cheryl taking the shopping bags one by one up the stairs:       
    Wait\, that’s not all: there are a total of 83 steps to our apartmen
 t. But that’s OK: More stairs\, more pasta! Congregation Shir Hadash has
  been very warm and welcoming. Our first service was to celebrate Purim. M
 any people showed up in costume as we acted out the Book of Esther:  We ha
 ve visited some of our favourite haunts in this beautiful city. For exampl
 e\, Ponte Vecchio (“old bridge”)\, spanning the Arno River:  What make
 s this bridge unique is that it is lined with shops. Above them is a “se
 cret corridor” (with the windows) used by the Medici rulers to get from 
 the Pitti Palace to the government offices (now the Uffizi Gallery) on the
  other side of the river\, avoiding any enemies in wait. During World War 
 2\, it was the only bridge not bombed by the Germans. A story has it that 
 the pilot assigned this task took a look down at the bridge and couldn’t
  bring himself to destroy it. Lucky for the Florentines\, and for us! Whil
 e we stood admiring it\, a tourist offered to take our photo:  Although mo
 st Italians don’t know much about the Jewish population here\, Florentin
 es are certainly aware of the majestic Great Synagogue (Orthodox) that dom
 inates the skyline and is a popular tourist site:  In our neighbourhood\, 
 we noticed this street:  Nathan Cassuto was a Rabbi and Talmudic scholar i
 n the Florence community. He was deported to Auschwitz and was murdered in
  1945. There is a custom throughout several European countries to place a 
 brass “stumbling-stone” in front of the home of those deported to conc
 entration camps. We chanced upon Rabbi Cassuto’s stone on a walk through
  what was his neighbourhood:  We have seen a number of these in Florence. 
 Now to one of our favourite subjects: consumable delicacies. Determined to
  become renowned chefs\, we took a pasta making class.  And of course\, th
 e quest for the best gelateria continues. This one just might be the final
 ist – it’s called “Perché Non” (why not? – not a question Loren
 zo has to ask). Pictured here is Sarah\, a leader of the Shir Hadash commu
 nity.  That’s it for now – alla prossima\,Cara Cheryl e Rabbino Lorenz

 				Blog #3: Imperial RomeMarch 12\, 2026Ciao\, I nostri amici! We have be
 en in Florence for about two weeks\, but we still have some experiences to
  share about Rome. In this installment\, we’ll trace a brief history of 
 the ancient Romans – especially their relationship with the Jewish popul
 ation. First of all\, we learned that the Jewish population in Rome dates 
 back to the second century BCE. Both Julius Caesar and Augustus treated th
 e Jews well. That changed when Nero became Emperor in 54 CE. As a monument
  to the vast Roman empire\, he decided to build the Colosseum. It took tho
 usands of slaves to take part in this project — many of them Jewish slav
 es. This modern-day photo gives you an impression of its immense size:  Th
 e “events” took place on a stage that covered the full inner circle. U
 nderneath that stage were cells for the animals and gladiators. The “eve
 nts” took place in three stages: Animals vs. animals: one killing the ot
 herAnimals vs. gladiators: dittoGladiator vs. gladiator. When one of them 
 lay defeated on the ground (if he hadn’t already been killed)\, either t
 he Emperor or the crowd would vote “thumbs up” to spare his life or 
 “thumbs down” to instruct the victor to slay him.In short\, the Coloss
 eum\, intended to show the vast reach of Roman power\, was in essence an a
 rena of gore and death. (And we think hockey fans are bad!) It was also Ne
 ro’s way of keeping the masses entertained with “circuses and bread\,
 ” thus diverting them from making trouble. Things got even worse during 
 the second Jewish revolt from 66-70 CE. The Roman general Titus slaughtere
 d thousands of Jews\, and brought 50\,000 back to Rome as slaves. The Arch
  of Titus depicts the procession to Rome along with the Temple Menorah and
  holy artifacts:  The next Emperor in this story is Hadrian (117-138 CE). 
 Our guide Francesca took us to Tivoli\, just outside Rome\, where we toure
 d the luxurious villa where Hadrian made his home. Here is a scale model o
 f the estate\, which covered hundreds of hectares of land:  Located near t
 he centre was his “marina palace”:  As you can see\, it was surrounded
  by a moat to shelter him from his many enemies. Francesca told us that Ha
 drian was — and still is — admired as a brilliant architect and admini
 strator. What is less known among Italians is that he decimated Jerusalem 
 and renamed it Aelia Capitolina. He drove the Jewish inhabitants from the 
 city\, marking the beginning of the Jewish Diaspora. After all this histor
 y\, let’s pause for a brief refreshment:  Now we jump ahead several cent
 uries to more recent Roman history. While visiting the synagogue\, we lear
 ned that\, during the early stages of the Holocaust\, when the Nazis invad
 ed Rome\, they challenged the Jewish leadership to collect 50 kilograms of
  gold in order to be spared deportation. In the following display case\, w
 e see some of the receipts for the gold collected from individual families
 :  Although the community succeeded in collecting the requisite amount\, t
 he Nazis deported them anyway. During our last night in Rome\, we frequent
 ed one of the several kosher restaurants in the ghetto area. The waiter ki
 ndly offered to take our photo. It seems he couldn’t resist making it a 
 selfie!  The next day we were off to Florence. Stay tuned for our first ad
 ventures in la bella città! Cheryl la Cara e Rabbino Lorenzo 								\n

 			Blog #2: Visit to RomeMarch 1\, 2026Ciao\, from Rome! When we checked i
 nto our lovely hotel\, the staff welcomed us and invited us to have a welc
 ome drink.  We ordered an Aperol spritz (the national drink here) – and
  this is what arrived!  The next day\, we had a partial tour of the synago
 gue – partial\, because there was a Bar Mitzvah and we had to stay in a 
 corner of the sanctuary. However\, Lorenzo managed to catch this photo of 
 the group on the Bima:  The boy was chanting a prayer called Shir Hakavod 
 to a traditional melody – which will be familiar to Solelniks as the tun
 e we use for Ashrey!  We’ll have more to tell about the Great Synagogue
  of Rome in a future installment\, but this photo gives you an idea of the
  majestic interior. We then joined a guided tour of the Rome ghetto\, wher
 e Jews in the 16th century were forced to live. All of the community\, ri
 ch and poor\, were confined to a small area and had no access to building 
 materials.  As this photo shows\, they had to scrounge whatever was avail
 able from discarded debris:  There was no room in the ghetto to bury the d
 ead. After some lengthy negotiation\, the Rome officials granted a section
  of land to use as a cemetery. Today\, this area has become a rose garden 
 that bears some vestiges of Jewish presence – the first photo shows a st
 one dating back to ghetto times\, from which the present-day design of the
  garden walkways is fashioned.  Getting back to our favourite theme of foo
 d\, we happened to arrive during the “artichoke season.”  There are t
 wo ways they are prepared: Jewish and Roman.  The first are deep-fried an
 d the second are sautéed in olive oil – both are delicious!  We’ll le
 ave you with a photo this delicious Roman specialty salad called “mille 
 foglie.” Like mille feulle it is muti-layered: thin wafer-like crackers\
 , puttarella (chickory)\, burrata and anchovies.  Delicioso!  Combined wi

DESCRIPTION:Established in 1972\, the Japan Foundation creates global oppo
 rtunities to cultivate friendship and ties between Japan and the world thr
 ough culture\, language\, and dialogue. The Foundation operates programs i
 n the fields of arts and cultural exchange\, Japanese-language education o
 verseas\, and Japanese studies and intellectual exchange. As a new cultura
 l exchange program\, we are delighted to present a touring exhibition “I
  Love Sushi” that focuses on sushi\, the most popular Japanese cuisine a
 round the world. \n\n\n\nIn 2013\, UNESCO inscribed washoku—Japanese cui
 sine—on its Intangible Cultural Heritage list\, and sushi is the archety
 pal example. Sushi is a refined and healthy food that looks good and taste
 s good\, and it has already become a familiar item on menus worldwide. Fro
 m its roots in Southeast Asia or Southern China\, sushi reached Japan over
  a thousand years ago. Since then\, sushi has radically changed\, taking a
 dvantage of the abundance of natural resources found in and around the isl
 ands of Japan\, of the application of knowledge and ideas to sushi\, and o
 f the never-ending Japanese drive to try good-tasting foods at the earlies
 t opportunity. The type of sushi that first comes to mind for most people 
 today is nigiri-zushi\, which emerged about two hundred years ago in Edo\,
  the city that we now know as Tokyo. \n\n\n\nSushi has now spread outside 
 Japan’s borders\, and is enjoyed around the world. But although it has b
 ecome a familiar food\, many people have only discovered a few of its attr
 actions. This exhibition aims to provide an in-depth visual guide to the a
 ppeal of sushi. It includes the chance to learn about how Japan took in su
 shi in its original form\, how it modified sushi to suit the natural envir
 onment\, culture\, and lifestyles of individual areas. It also introduces 
 today’s vibrant sushi culture\, and it encourages us to think about the 
 potential of sushi as a food for the future in the light of contemporary f
 ood issues. The exhibition includes a simulation of a visit to a sushi sho
 p in Japan. People who know little about sushi will greatly enjoy the exhi
 bition\, and keen fans of sushi will find it fascinating too. And we very 
 much hope that through sushi\, the exhibition will also communicate someth
 ing about the history and customs of Japan. \n\n\n\nFinally\, we would lik
 e to express our gratitude to Hibino Terutoshi for his supervision of the 
 preparations for this exhibition\, and to all the other individuals and en
 tities whose unstinting efforts have made the exhibition a success. \n\nAd
 mission: FREE Advanced\, time-specific reservations are recommended. \nBo

 n                    The popular Willow pattern seen on Staffordshire tran
 sferware found a new life as ornamentation in palace interiors in 19th-cen
 tury India. Set into walls in their original form or broken into flat\, re
 ctilinear pieces\, Blue Willow plates and their luminous blue-and-white su
 rface effectively framed gods and kings\, creating a multisensory space. \
 nTaking the late 19th-century sites of Juna Mahal in Dungarpur and Junagad
 h Fort in Bikaner as points of departure\, this online talk will explore h
 ow the design and materiality of Willow ware and its display acquired new 
 meaning and purpose in Indian palaces. \nEvoking the tradition of tiled or
 namentation and the display of ceramics in the chini khana (“China room
 ”) in India\, while also referencing European porcelain rooms\, the tran
 sferware-covered walls reveal the complex cultural negotiations and materi
 al and political aspirations of 19th-century India. By examining the India
 n reuse of Willow ware\, which has been largely studied in terms of Wester
 n responses to Chinese export porcelain\, this talk complicates the conven
 tional narrative of West looking East and instead highlights the nonlinear
  and multidirectional flows of ceramic culture. \n\n                \n

CATEGORIES:education
DESCRIPTION:We live in challenging times. Constantly connected through dig
 ital media\, yet often feeling isolated\, many experience pressure\, anxie
 ty and uncertainty. The lasting impact of recent global crises\, alongside
  concerns about climate change and social injustice\, has intensified ques
 tions around MENTAL WELLBEING and COLLECTIVE RESPONSIBILITY. \nJOURNEY OF 
 THE MIND draws directly on the writings of the Sikh teachers\, which offer
  practical guidance and clear insight into the nature of the mind – how 
 it wanders\, what obstructs it and how it can return to clarity. In Sikhi\
 , the MIND is both the source of SUFFERING and the gateway to FREEDOM. Thr
 ough focused practice (Simran)\, selfless service (Seva) and the support o
 f community (Sangat)\, Sikh philosophy offers a path toward inner steadine
 ss and purposeful living. \nThe exhibition explores these principles throu
 gh contemporary figurative and abstract works by artists from diverse cult
 ural backgrounds alongside short films. It reflects on the internal strugg
 les we face – the pull of fear\, ego and distraction – and proposes fo
 cused practice\, community and selfless service as foundations for CLARITY
  and PEACE.

 t’s the difference between natural ice and refrigerated rinks?\nNatural 
 outdoor rinks rely entirely on cold weather to freeze the ice\, so conditi
 ons can change quickly. Refrigerated rinks use cooling systems to keep the
  ice frozen even during mild temperatures\, allowing for a longer and more
  reliable skating season. \nHow do I know if a natural rink is safe to ska
 te on?\nAlways follow posted signage or municipal updates. Many natural ri
 nks are unsupervised\, so ice thickness and surface conditions can vary. I
 f a rink is closed\, flagged\, or shows signs of melting\, do not skate. \
 nAre helmets required for outdoor skating?\nHelmets are strongly recommend
 ed for all skaters and are required for children at many municipal rinks. 
 CSA-approved helmets provide the best protection. \nWhen do outdoor skatin
 g rinks open in the GTA?\nRefrigerated rinks often open in late November o
 r early December. Natural rinks open only after several days of consistent
 ly cold weather\, usually in mid- to late December\, but timing varies eac
 h year. \nDo I need to bring my own skates?\nMost community rinks require 
 you to bring your own skates. Larger venues like Nathan Phillips Square\, 
 Harbourfront\, Trafalgar Park\, and The Bentway often offer skate rentals 
 during the winter season. \nWhat’s the difference between a skating rink
  and a skating trail?\nRinks are flat ice pads used for leisure skating or
  hockey\, while skating trails are loop-style ice paths that allow conti
 nuous gliding—often winding through parks or urban spaces. 								\n

 n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n									Outdoor Skating FAQ\nWha
 t’s the difference between natural ice and refrigerated rinks?\nNatural 
 outdoor rinks rely entirely on cold weather to freeze the ice\, so conditi
 ons can change quickly. Refrigerated rinks use cooling systems to keep the
  ice frozen even during mild temperatures\, allowing for a longer and more
  reliable skating season. \nHow do I know if a natural rink is safe to ska
 te on?\nAlways follow posted signage or municipal updates. Many natural ri
 nks are unsupervised\, so ice thickness and surface conditions can vary. I
 f a rink is closed\, flagged\, or shows signs of melting\, do not skate. \
 nAre helmets required for outdoor skating?\nHelmets are strongly recommend
 ed for all skaters and are required for children at many municipal rinks. 
 CSA-approved helmets provide the best protection. \nWhen do outdoor skatin
 g rinks open in the GTA?\nRefrigerated rinks often open in late November o
 r early December. Natural rinks open only after several days of consistent
 ly cold weather\, usually in mid- to late December\, but timing varies eac
 h year. \nDo I need to bring my own skates?\nMost community rinks require 
 you to bring your own skates. Larger venues like Nathan Phillips Square\, 
 Harbourfront\, Trafalgar Park\, and The Bentway often offer skate rentals 
 during the winter season. \nWhat’s the difference between a skating rink
  and a skating trail?\nRinks are flat ice pads used for leisure skating or
  hockey\, while skating trails are loop-style ice paths that allow conti
 nuous gliding—often winding through parks or urban spaces. 								\n

 n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n									Outdoor Skating FAQ\nWha
 t’s the difference between natural ice and refrigerated rinks?\nNatural 
 outdoor rinks rely entirely on cold weather to freeze the ice\, so conditi
 ons can change quickly. Refrigerated rinks use cooling systems to keep the
  ice frozen even during mild temperatures\, allowing for a longer and more
  reliable skating season. \nHow do I know if a natural rink is safe to ska
 te on?\nAlways follow posted signage or municipal updates. Many natural ri
 nks are unsupervised\, so ice thickness and surface conditions can vary. I
 f a rink is closed\, flagged\, or shows signs of melting\, do not skate. \
 nAre helmets required for outdoor skating?\nHelmets are strongly recommend
 ed for all skaters and are required for children at many municipal rinks. 
 CSA-approved helmets provide the best protection. \nWhen do outdoor skatin
 g rinks open in the GTA?\nRefrigerated rinks often open in late November o
 r early December. Natural rinks open only after several days of consistent
 ly cold weather\, usually in mid- to late December\, but timing varies eac
 h year. \nDo I need to bring my own skates?\nMost community rinks require 
 you to bring your own skates. Larger venues like Nathan Phillips Square\, 
 Harbourfront\, Trafalgar Park\, and The Bentway often offer skate rentals 
 during the winter season. \nWhat’s the difference between a skating rink
  and a skating trail?\nRinks are flat ice pads used for leisure skating or
  hockey\, while skating trails are loop-style ice paths that allow conti
 nuous gliding—often winding through parks or urban spaces. 								\n

 t’s the difference between natural ice and refrigerated rinks?\nNatural 
 outdoor rinks rely entirely on cold weather to freeze the ice\, so conditi

  ice frozen even during mild temperatures\, allowing for a longer and more
  reliable skating season. \nHow do I know if a natural rink is safe to ska

 ed for all skaters and are required for children at many municipal rinks. 
 CSA-approved helmets provide the best protection. \nWhen do outdoor skatin

 you to bring your own skates. Larger venues like Nathan Phillips Square\,

 n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n									Outdoor Skating FAQ\nWha
 t’s the difference between natural ice and refrigerated rinks?\nNatural 
 outdoor rinks rely entirely on cold weather to freeze the ice\, so conditi
 ons can change quickly. Refrigerated rinks use cooling systems to keep the
  ice frozen even during mild temperatures\, allowing for a longer and more
  reliable skating season. \nHow do I know if a natural rink is safe to ska
 te on?\nAlways follow posted signage or municipal updates. Many natural ri
 nks are unsupervised\, so ice thickness and surface conditions can vary. I
 f a rink is closed\, flagged\, or shows signs of melting\, do not skate. \
 nAre helmets required for outdoor skating?\nHelmets are strongly recommend
 ed for all skaters and are required for children at many municipal rinks. 
 CSA-approved helmets provide the best protection. \nWhen do outdoor skatin
 g rinks open in the GTA?\nRefrigerated rinks often open in late November o
 r early December. Natural rinks open only after several days of consistent
 ly cold weather\, usually in mid- to late December\, but timing varies eac
 h year. \nDo I need to bring my own skates?\nMost community rinks require 
 you to bring your own skates. Larger venues like Nathan Phillips Square\, 
 Harbourfront\, Trafalgar Park\, and The Bentway often offer skate rentals 
 during the winter season. \nWhat’s the difference between a skating rink
  and a skating trail?\nRinks are flat ice pads used for leisure skating or
  hockey\, while skating trails are loop-style ice paths that allow conti
 nuous gliding—often winding through parks or urban spaces. 								\n

 n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n									Outdoor Skating FAQ\nWha
 t’s the difference between natural ice and refrigerated rinks?\nNatural 
 outdoor rinks rely entirely on cold weather to freeze the ice\, so conditi
 ons can change quickly. Refrigerated rinks use cooling systems to keep the
  ice frozen even during mild temperatures\, allowing for a longer and more
  reliable skating season. \nHow do I know if a natural rink is safe to ska
 te on?\nAlways follow posted signage or municipal updates. Many natural ri
 nks are unsupervised\, so ice thickness and surface conditions can vary. I
 f a rink is closed\, flagged\, or shows signs of melting\, do not skate. \
 nAre helmets required for outdoor skating?\nHelmets are strongly recommend
 ed for all skaters and are required for children at many municipal rinks. 
 CSA-approved helmets provide the best protection. \nWhen do outdoor skatin
 g rinks open in the GTA?\nRefrigerated rinks often open in late November o
 r early December. Natural rinks open only after several days of consistent
 ly cold weather\, usually in mid- to late December\, but timing varies eac
 h year. \nDo I need to bring my own skates?\nMost community rinks require 
 you to bring your own skates. Larger venues like Nathan Phillips Square\, 
 Harbourfront\, Trafalgar Park\, and The Bentway often offer skate rentals 
 during the winter season. \nWhat’s the difference between a skating rink
  and a skating trail?\nRinks are flat ice pads used for leisure skating or
  hockey\, while skating trails are loop-style ice paths that allow conti
 nuous gliding—often winding through parks or urban spaces. 								\n

DESCRIPTION:Blog #5: RENAISSANCE FLORENCE – ART ANDRELIGIONMarch 30\, 20
 26Ciao\, I nostri amici! As we’ve been touring round the magnificent art
 \, especially the sculpture\, we’ve gained a deep appreciation of why Fl
 orence is considered to be the birthplace of the Renaissance. We’d like 
 to take you on a virtual tour to show how this new way of viewing the worl
 d developed. We begin with a statue of David\, sculpted by a young Donatel
 lo around 1408: He is posed like a victorious knight with the head of the 
 slain Goliath at his feet – more of a military figure than a religious o
 ne. This was Donatello’s first break with medieval classicism. He contin
 ued to make great strides by the time he sculpted his second David in 1440
 :  This David is the first freestanding nude\, with a confident\, relaxed 
 – and sensual – pose. The Florentines were now ready to enjoy the huma
 n body as beautiful rather than something dirty to be hidden. But even mor
 e is going on during this artistic transition. Take a look\, for example\,
  at Michelangelo’s David\, completed in 1440:  David carries his sling o
 ver his shoulder and grasps a stone in his hand\, ready to attack the Phil
 istine enemy. But as you admire the beauty of this statue\, does it seem t
 o depict a biblical youth? Or perhaps the perfect body of a Roman God? (By
  the way\, we must point out a flaw committed by both these artists: you
 ’ll notice that David isn’t circumcised!) So we see that Renaissance a
 rt often depicted a harmonious blend of Roman paganism with Christian reli
 gion. We see this also in an earlier sculpture by Michelangelo:  Is this D
 avid reaching for his sling\, or Apollo reaching for an arrow? Even art cr
 itics are divided on this question. We can also witness this blend in pain
 tings – for example\, this work by Boticelli\, titled “The Rite of Spr
 ing”:  Is the central figure\, with arms in welcoming gesture\, the godd
 ess Venus – or the Virgin Mary? In contemporary Italian Catholicism\, Ma
 ry is the major figure of worship rather than Jesus. To some people\, the 
 rituals of veneration toward Mary (e.g. crowning the head of her statue wi
 th laurels\, making votive requests for her to grant a wish) are more remi
 niscent of superstition than religion. However\, we found a different answ
 er in a church we visited on Palm Sunday:  When you enter many churches in
  Europe\, your first reaction is often “oh Wow!” as you’re overwhelm
 ed by their massive size\, elaborate architecture and vivid frescoes. In t
 his church\, however\, named the Basilica of San Miniato al Monte\, we wer
 e drawn in by what Cheryl described as an aura of solemnity. When we walke
 d in\, the monk was giving a sermon\, and then later baptised a baby:  We 
 learned that this basilica is a working monastery. To help support themsel
 ves\, the monks make all kinds of jams\, sweets and household items\, whic
 h they sell in the shop beside the church. While I (Larry) was in line at 
 the counter\, a young woman ahead of me completed her purchase and then as
 ked the monk to bless her. (No photo here\; you will need to imagine the s
 cene.). The monk\, dressed in an impeccably folded beige cowl\, stepped aw
 ay from the counter to face her. In silence\, he placed a gentle hand on h
 er forehead\, let it remain for a few moments\, and then made the sign of 
 the cross before her face. The woman\, in tears\, thanked the priest and s
 lowly walked away. Having watched from nearby\, I couldn’t help but thin
 k what a wonderful experience – more than this: a sacred encounter – t
 o know that you are blessed. Speaking of blessing\, we send our warmest wi
 shes to you for a joyous Pesach and Easter season. May this time bring ble
 ssing to you and your loved ones. Ciao\, Rabbino Lorenzo e Cherylissima (h
 er new name\, given by a dear friend\, along with a blessing!) 								\n

  LAST!March 19\, 2026Ciao\, I nostri amici! We settled into our apartment 
 in Florence\, dropped our luggage and then did our first shopping trip. He
 re’s Cheryl taking the shopping bags one by one up the stairs:       
    Wait\, that’s not all: there are a total of 83 steps to our apartmen
 t. But that’s OK: More stairs\, more pasta! Congregation Shir Hadash has
  been very warm and welcoming. Our first service was to celebrate Purim. M
 any people showed up in costume as we acted out the Book of Esther:  We ha
 ve visited some of our favourite haunts in this beautiful city. For exampl
 e\, Ponte Vecchio (“old bridge”)\, spanning the Arno River:  What make
 s this bridge unique is that it is lined with shops. Above them is a “se
 cret corridor” (with the windows) used by the Medici rulers to get from 
 the Pitti Palace to the government offices (now the Uffizi Gallery) on the
  other side of the river\, avoiding any enemies in wait. During World War 
 2\, it was the only bridge not bombed by the Germans. A story has it that 
 the pilot assigned this task took a look down at the bridge and couldn’t
  bring himself to destroy it. Lucky for the Florentines\, and for us! Whil
 e we stood admiring it\, a tourist offered to take our photo:  Although mo
 st Italians don’t know much about the Jewish population here\, Florentin
 es are certainly aware of the majestic Great Synagogue (Orthodox) that dom
 inates the skyline and is a popular tourist site:  In our neighbourhood\, 
 we noticed this street:  Nathan Cassuto was a Rabbi and Talmudic scholar i
 n the Florence community. He was deported to Auschwitz and was murdered in
  1945. There is a custom throughout several European countries to place a 
 brass “stumbling-stone” in front of the home of those deported to conc
 entration camps. We chanced upon Rabbi Cassuto’s stone on a walk through
  what was his neighbourhood:  We have seen a number of these in Florence. 
 Now to one of our favourite subjects: consumable delicacies. Determined to
  become renowned chefs\, we took a pasta making class.  And of course\, th
 e quest for the best gelateria continues. This one just might be the final
 ist – it’s called “Perché Non” (why not? – not a question Loren
 zo has to ask). Pictured here is Sarah\, a leader of the Shir Hadash commu
 nity.  That’s it for now – alla prossima\,Cara Cheryl e Rabbino Lorenz

 				Blog #3: Imperial RomeMarch 12\, 2026Ciao\, I nostri amici! We have be
 en in Florence for about two weeks\, but we still have some experiences to
  share about Rome. In this installment\, we’ll trace a brief history of 
 the ancient Romans – especially their relationship with the Jewish popul
 ation. First of all\, we learned that the Jewish population in Rome dates 
 back to the second century BCE. Both Julius Caesar and Augustus treated th
 e Jews well. That changed when Nero became Emperor in 54 CE. As a monument
  to the vast Roman empire\, he decided to build the Colosseum. It took tho
 usands of slaves to take part in this project — many of them Jewish slav
 es. This modern-day photo gives you an impression of its immense size:  Th
 e “events” took place on a stage that covered the full inner circle. U
 nderneath that stage were cells for the animals and gladiators. The “eve
 nts” took place in three stages: Animals vs. animals: one killing the ot
 herAnimals vs. gladiators: dittoGladiator vs. gladiator. When one of them 
 lay defeated on the ground (if he hadn’t already been killed)\, either t
 he Emperor or the crowd would vote “thumbs up” to spare his life or 
 “thumbs down” to instruct the victor to slay him.In short\, the Coloss
 eum\, intended to show the vast reach of Roman power\, was in essence an a
 rena of gore and death. (And we think hockey fans are bad!) It was also Ne
 ro’s way of keeping the masses entertained with “circuses and bread\,
 ” thus diverting them from making trouble. Things got even worse during 
 the second Jewish revolt from 66-70 CE. The Roman general Titus slaughtere
 d thousands of Jews\, and brought 50\,000 back to Rome as slaves. The Arch
  of Titus depicts the procession to Rome along with the Temple Menorah and
  holy artifacts:  The next Emperor in this story is Hadrian (117-138 CE). 
 Our guide Francesca took us to Tivoli\, just outside Rome\, where we toure
 d the luxurious villa where Hadrian made his home. Here is a scale model o
 f the estate\, which covered hundreds of hectares of land:  Located near t
 he centre was his “marina palace”:  As you can see\, it was surrounded
  by a moat to shelter him from his many enemies. Francesca told us that Ha
 drian was — and still is — admired as a brilliant architect and admini
 strator. What is less known among Italians is that he decimated Jerusalem 
 and renamed it Aelia Capitolina. He drove the Jewish inhabitants from the 
 city\, marking the beginning of the Jewish Diaspora. After all this histor
 y\, let’s pause for a brief refreshment:  Now we jump ahead several cent
 uries to more recent Roman history. While visiting the synagogue\, we lear
 ned that\, during the early stages of the Holocaust\, when the Nazis invad
 ed Rome\, they challenged the Jewish leadership to collect 50 kilograms of
  gold in order to be spared deportation. In the following display case\, w
 e see some of the receipts for the gold collected from individual families
 :  Although the community succeeded in collecting the requisite amount\, t
 he Nazis deported them anyway. During our last night in Rome\, we frequent
 ed one of the several kosher restaurants in the ghetto area. The waiter ki
 ndly offered to take our photo. It seems he couldn’t resist making it a 
 selfie!  The next day we were off to Florence. Stay tuned for our first ad
 ventures in la bella città! Cheryl la Cara e Rabbino Lorenzo 								\n

 			Blog #2: Visit to RomeMarch 1\, 2026Ciao\, from Rome! When we checked i
 nto our lovely hotel\, the staff welcomed us and invited us to have a welc
 ome drink.  We ordered an Aperol spritz (the national drink here) – and
  this is what arrived!  The next day\, we had a partial tour of the synago
 gue – partial\, because there was a Bar Mitzvah and we had to stay in a 
 corner of the sanctuary. However\, Lorenzo managed to catch this photo of 
 the group on the Bima:  The boy was chanting a prayer called Shir Hakavod 
 to a traditional melody – which will be familiar to Solelniks as the tun
 e we use for Ashrey!  We’ll have more to tell about the Great Synagogue
  of Rome in a future installment\, but this photo gives you an idea of the
  majestic interior. We then joined a guided tour of the Rome ghetto\, wher
 e Jews in the 16th century were forced to live. All of the community\, ri
 ch and poor\, were confined to a small area and had no access to building 
 materials.  As this photo shows\, they had to scrounge whatever was avail
 able from discarded debris:  There was no room in the ghetto to bury the d
 ead. After some lengthy negotiation\, the Rome officials granted a section
  of land to use as a cemetery. Today\, this area has become a rose garden 
 that bears some vestiges of Jewish presence – the first photo shows a st
 one dating back to ghetto times\, from which the present-day design of the
  garden walkways is fashioned.  Getting back to our favourite theme of foo
 d\, we happened to arrive during the “artichoke season.”  There are t
 wo ways they are prepared: Jewish and Roman.  The first are deep-fried an
 d the second are sautéed in olive oil – both are delicious!  We’ll le
 ave you with a photo this delicious Roman specialty salad called “mille 
 foglie.” Like mille feulle it is muti-layered: thin wafer-like crackers\
 , puttarella (chickory)\, burrata and anchovies.  Delicioso!  Combined wi
 th the two types of artichoke\, caccio e pepe and fine local wine\, it won
 ’t surprise you to learn that the next day we purchased a bathroom scale

DESCRIPTION:Established in 1972\, the Japan Foundation creates global oppo
 rtunities to cultivate friendship and ties between Japan and the world thr
 ough culture\, language\, and dialogue. The Foundation operates programs i
 n the fields of arts and cultural exchange\, Japanese-language education o
 verseas\, and Japanese studies and intellectual exchange. As a new cultura
 l exchange program\, we are delighted to present a touring exhibition “I
  Love Sushi” that focuses on sushi\, the most popular Japanese cuisine a
 round the world. \n\n\n\nIn 2013\, UNESCO inscribed washoku—Japanese cui
 sine—on its Intangible Cultural Heritage list\, and sushi is the archety
 pal example. Sushi is a refined and healthy food that looks good and taste
 s good\, and it has already become a familiar item on menus worldwide. Fro
 m its roots in Southeast Asia or Southern China\, sushi reached Japan over
  a thousand years ago. Since then\, sushi has radically changed\, taking a
 dvantage of the abundance of natural resources found in and around the isl
 ands of Japan\, of the application of knowledge and ideas to sushi\, and o
 f the never-ending Japanese drive to try good-tasting foods at the earlies
 t opportunity. The type of sushi that first comes to mind for most people 
 today is nigiri-zushi\, which emerged about two hundred years ago in Edo\,
  the city that we now know as Tokyo. \n\n\n\nSushi has now spread outside 
 Japan’s borders\, and is enjoyed around the world. But although it has b
 ecome a familiar food\, many people have only discovered a few of its attr
 actions. This exhibition aims to provide an in-depth visual guide to the a
 ppeal of sushi. It includes the chance to learn about how Japan took in su
 shi in its original form\, how it modified sushi to suit the natural envir
 onment\, culture\, and lifestyles of individual areas. It also introduces 
 today’s vibrant sushi culture\, and it encourages us to think about the 
 potential of sushi as a food for the future in the light of contemporary f
 ood issues. The exhibition includes a simulation of a visit to a sushi sho
 p in Japan. People who know little about sushi will greatly enjoy the exhi
 bition\, and keen fans of sushi will find it fascinating too. And we very 
 much hope that through sushi\, the exhibition will also communicate someth
 ing about the history and customs of Japan. \n\n\n\nFinally\, we would lik

DESCRIPTION:Blog #5: RENAISSANCE FLORENCE – ART ANDRELIGIONMarch 30\, 20
 26Ciao\, I nostri amici! As we’ve been touring round the magnificent art
 \, especially the sculpture\, we’ve gained a deep appreciation of why Fl
 orence is considered to be the birthplace of the Renaissance. We’d like 
 to take you on a virtual tour to show how this new way of viewing the worl
 d developed. We begin with a statue of David\, sculpted by a young Donatel
 lo around 1408: He is posed like a victorious knight with the head of the 
 slain Goliath at his feet – more of a military figure than a religious o
 ne. This was Donatello’s first break with medieval classicism. He contin
 ued to make great strides by the time he sculpted his second David in 1440
 :  This David is the first freestanding nude\, with a confident\, relaxed 
 – and sensual – pose. The Florentines were now ready to enjoy the huma
 n body as beautiful rather than something dirty to be hidden. But even mor
 e is going on during this artistic transition. Take a look\, for example\,
  at Michelangelo’s David\, completed in 1440:  David carries his sling o
 ver his shoulder and grasps a stone in his hand\, ready to attack the Phil
 istine enemy. But as you admire the beauty of this statue\, does it seem t
 o depict a biblical youth? Or perhaps the perfect body of a Roman God? (By
  the way\, we must point out a flaw committed by both these artists: you
 ’ll notice that David isn’t circumcised!) So we see that Renaissance a
 rt often depicted a harmonious blend of Roman paganism with Christian reli
 gion. We see this also in an earlier sculpture by Michelangelo:  Is this D
 avid reaching for his sling\, or Apollo reaching for an arrow? Even art cr
 itics are divided on this question. We can also witness this blend in pain
 tings – for example\, this work by Boticelli\, titled “The Rite of Spr
 ing”:  Is the central figure\, with arms in welcoming gesture\, the godd
 ess Venus – or the Virgin Mary? In contemporary Italian Catholicism\, Ma
 ry is the major figure of worship rather than Jesus. To some people\, the 
 rituals of veneration toward Mary (e.g. crowning the head of her statue wi
 th laurels\, making votive requests for her to grant a wish) are more remi
 niscent of superstition than religion. However\, we found a different answ
 er in a church we visited on Palm Sunday:  When you enter many churches in
  Europe\, your first reaction is often “oh Wow!” as you’re overwhelm
 ed by their massive size\, elaborate architecture and vivid frescoes. In t
 his church\, however\, named the Basilica of San Miniato al Monte\, we wer
 e drawn in by what Cheryl described as an aura of solemnity. When we walke
 d in\, the monk was giving a sermon\, and then later baptised a baby:  We 
 learned that this basilica is a working monastery. To help support themsel
 ves\, the monks make all kinds of jams\, sweets and household items\, whic
 h they sell in the shop beside the church. While I (Larry) was in line at 
 the counter\, a young woman ahead of me completed her purchase and then as
 ked the monk to bless her. (No photo here\; you will need to imagine the s
 cene.). The monk\, dressed in an impeccably folded beige cowl\, stepped aw
 ay from the counter to face her. In silence\, he placed a gentle hand on h
 er forehead\, let it remain for a few moments\, and then made the sign of 
 the cross before her face. The woman\, in tears\, thanked the priest and s
 lowly walked away. Having watched from nearby\, I couldn’t help but thin
 k what a wonderful experience – more than this: a sacred encounter – t
 o know that you are blessed. Speaking of blessing\, we send our warmest wi
 shes to you for a joyous Pesach and Easter season. May this time bring ble
 ssing to you and your loved ones. Ciao\, Rabbino Lorenzo e Cherylissima (h
 er new name\, given by a dear friend\, along with a blessing!) 								\n

  LAST!March 19\, 2026Ciao\, I nostri amici! We settled into our apartment 
 in Florence\, dropped our luggage and then did our first shopping trip. He
 re’s Cheryl taking the shopping bags one by one up the stairs:       
    Wait\, that’s not all: there are a total of 83 steps to our apartmen
 t. But that’s OK: More stairs\, more pasta! Congregation Shir Hadash has
  been very warm and welcoming. Our first service was to celebrate Purim. M
 any people showed up in costume as we acted out the Book of Esther:  We ha
 ve visited some of our favourite haunts in this beautiful city. For exampl
 e\, Ponte Vecchio (“old bridge”)\, spanning the Arno River:  What make
 s this bridge unique is that it is lined with shops. Above them is a “se
 cret corridor” (with the windows) used by the Medici rulers to get from 
 the Pitti Palace to the government offices (now the Uffizi Gallery) on the
  other side of the river\, avoiding any enemies in wait. During World War 
 2\, it was the only bridge not bombed by the Germans. A story has it that 
 the pilot assigned this task took a look down at the bridge and couldn’t
  bring himself to destroy it. Lucky for the Florentines\, and for us! Whil
 e we stood admiring it\, a tourist offered to take our photo:  Although mo
 st Italians don’t know much about the Jewish population here\, Florentin
 es are certainly aware of the majestic Great Synagogue (Orthodox) that dom
 inates the skyline and is a popular tourist site:  In our neighbourhood\, 
 we noticed this street:  Nathan Cassuto was a Rabbi and Talmudic scholar i
 n the Florence community. He was deported to Auschwitz and was murdered in
  1945. There is a custom throughout several European countries to place a 
 brass “stumbling-stone” in front of the home of those deported to conc
 entration camps. We chanced upon Rabbi Cassuto’s stone on a walk through
  what was his neighbourhood:  We have seen a number of these in Florence. 
 Now to one of our favourite subjects: consumable delicacies. Determined to
  become renowned chefs\, we took a pasta making class.  And of course\, th
 e quest for the best gelateria continues. This one just might be the final
 ist – it’s called “Perché Non” (why not? – not a question Loren
 zo has to ask). Pictured here is Sarah\, a leader of the Shir Hadash commu
 nity.  That’s it for now – alla prossima\,Cara Cheryl e Rabbino Lorenz

 				Blog #3: Imperial RomeMarch 12\, 2026Ciao\, I nostri amici! We have be
 en in Florence for about two weeks\, but we still have some experiences to
  share about Rome. In this installment\, we’ll trace a brief history of 
 the ancient Romans – especially their relationship with the Jewish popul
 ation. First of all\, we learned that the Jewish population in Rome dates 
 back to the second century BCE. Both Julius Caesar and Augustus treated th
 e Jews well. That changed when Nero became Emperor in 54 CE. As a monument
  to the vast Roman empire\, he decided to build the Colosseum. It took tho
 usands of slaves to take part in this project — many of them Jewish slav
 es. This modern-day photo gives you an impression of its immense size:  Th
 e “events” took place on a stage that covered the full inner circle. U
 nderneath that stage were cells for the animals and gladiators. The “eve
 nts” took place in three stages: Animals vs. animals: one killing the ot
 herAnimals vs. gladiators: dittoGladiator vs. gladiator. When one of them 
 lay defeated on the ground (if he hadn’t already been killed)\, either t
 he Emperor or the crowd would vote “thumbs up” to spare his life or 
 “thumbs down” to instruct the victor to slay him.In short\, the Coloss
 eum\, intended to show the vast reach of Roman power\, was in essence an a
 rena of gore and death. (And we think hockey fans are bad!) It was also Ne
 ro’s way of keeping the masses entertained with “circuses and bread\,
 ” thus diverting them from making trouble. Things got even worse during 
 the second Jewish revolt from 66-70 CE. The Roman general Titus slaughtere
 d thousands of Jews\, and brought 50\,000 back to Rome as slaves. The Arch
  of Titus depicts the procession to Rome along with the Temple Menorah and
  holy artifacts:  The next Emperor in this story is Hadrian (117-138 CE). 
 Our guide Francesca took us to Tivoli\, just outside Rome\, where we toure
 d the luxurious villa where Hadrian made his home. Here is a scale model o
 f the estate\, which covered hundreds of hectares of land:  Located near t
 he centre was his “marina palace”:  As you can see\, it was surrounded
  by a moat to shelter him from his many enemies. Francesca told us that Ha
 drian was — and still is — admired as a brilliant architect and admini
 strator. What is less known among Italians is that he decimated Jerusalem 
 and renamed it Aelia Capitolina. He drove the Jewish inhabitants from the 
 city\, marking the beginning of the Jewish Diaspora. After all this histor
 y\, let’s pause for a brief refreshment:  Now we jump ahead several cent
 uries to more recent Roman history. While visiting the synagogue\, we lear
 ned that\, during the early stages of the Holocaust\, when the Nazis invad
 ed Rome\, they challenged the Jewish leadership to collect 50 kilograms of
  gold in order to be spared deportation. In the following display case\, w
 e see some of the receipts for the gold collected from individual families
 :  Although the community succeeded in collecting the requisite amount\, t
 he Nazis deported them anyway. During our last night in Rome\, we frequent
 ed one of the several kosher restaurants in the ghetto area. The waiter ki
 ndly offered to take our photo. It seems he couldn’t resist making it a 
 selfie!  The next day we were off to Florence. Stay tuned for our first ad
 ventures in la bella città! Cheryl la Cara e Rabbino Lorenzo 								\n

 			Blog #2: Visit to RomeMarch 1\, 2026Ciao\, from Rome! When we checked i
 nto our lovely hotel\, the staff welcomed us and invited us to have a welc
 ome drink.  We ordered an Aperol spritz (the national drink here) – and
  this is what arrived!  The next day\, we had a partial tour of the synago
 gue – partial\, because there was a Bar Mitzvah and we had to stay in a 
 corner of the sanctuary. However\, Lorenzo managed to catch this photo of 
 the group on the Bima:  The boy was chanting a prayer called Shir Hakavod 
 to a traditional melody – which will be familiar to Solelniks as the tun
 e we use for Ashrey!  We’ll have more to tell about the Great Synagogue
  of Rome in a future installment\, but this photo gives you an idea of the
  majestic interior. We then joined a guided tour of the Rome ghetto\, wher
 e Jews in the 16th century were forced to live. All of the community\, ri
 ch and poor\, were confined to a small area and had no access to building 
 materials.  As this photo shows\, they had to scrounge whatever was avail
 able from discarded debris:  There was no room in the ghetto to bury the d
 ead. After some lengthy negotiation\, the Rome officials granted a section
  of land to use as a cemetery. Today\, this area has become a rose garden 
 that bears some vestiges of Jewish presence – the first photo shows a st
 one dating back to ghetto times\, from which the present-day design of the
  garden walkways is fashioned.  Getting back to our favourite theme of foo
 d\, we happened to arrive during the “artichoke season.”  There are t
 wo ways they are prepared: Jewish and Roman.  The first are deep-fried an
 d the second are sautéed in olive oil – both are delicious!  We’ll le
 ave you with a photo this delicious Roman specialty salad called “mille 
 foglie.” Like mille feulle it is muti-layered: thin wafer-like crackers\
 , puttarella (chickory)\, burrata and anchovies.  Delicioso!  Combined wi
 th the two types of artichoke\, caccio e pepe and fine local wine\, it won
 ’t surprise you to learn that the next day we purchased a bathroom scale

 les: from the failed rebellion that led to sweeping government reforms\, t
 o a medieval-styled castle that hides key city infrastructure. On these tr

 e and now a residential condominium\, the first Toronto public library to 
 have an automated circulation system\, and end at North Toronto’s neighb
 ourhood garden boutique. \n\n\n\nThis emerging historian tour will be de
 veloped and led by Mads Bayliss\, a journalist and digital storyteller. Af
 ter completing an exchange year in Toronto\, Mads felt so at home in the r
 ich vibrancy of the city’s culture that they now live here permanently. 
 Mads believes heritage and storytelling can unite communities\, and aims t
 o share histories that are often ignored and misrepresented. \n\n\n\n\n\n\

DESCRIPTION:Established in 1972\, the Japan Foundation creates global oppo
 rtunities to cultivate friendship and ties between Japan and the world thr
 ough culture\, language\, and dialogue. The Foundation operates programs i
 n the fields of arts and cultural exchange\, Japanese-language education o
 verseas\, and Japanese studies and intellectual exchange. As a new cultura
 l exchange program\, we are delighted to present a touring exhibition “I
  Love Sushi” that focuses on sushi\, the most popular Japanese cuisine a
 round the world. \n\n\n\nIn 2013\, UNESCO inscribed washoku—Japanese cui
 sine—on its Intangible Cultural Heritage list\, and sushi is the archety
 pal example. Sushi is a refined and healthy food that looks good and taste
 s good\, and it has already become a familiar item on menus worldwide. Fro
 m its roots in Southeast Asia or Southern China\, sushi reached Japan over
  a thousand years ago. Since then\, sushi has radically changed\, taking a
 dvantage of the abundance of natural resources found in and around the isl
 ands of Japan\, of the application of knowledge and ideas to sushi\, and o
 f the never-ending Japanese drive to try good-tasting foods at the earlies
 t opportunity. The type of sushi that first comes to mind for most people 
 today is nigiri-zushi\, which emerged about two hundred years ago in Edo\,
  the city that we now know as Tokyo. \n\n\n\nSushi has now spread outside 
 Japan’s borders\, and is enjoyed around the world. But although it has b
 ecome a familiar food\, many people have only discovered a few of its attr
 actions. This exhibition aims to provide an in-depth visual guide to the a
 ppeal of sushi. It includes the chance to learn about how Japan took in su
 shi in its original form\, how it modified sushi to suit the natural envir
 onment\, culture\, and lifestyles of individual areas. It also introduces 
 today’s vibrant sushi culture\, and it encourages us to think about the 
 potential of sushi as a food for the future in the light of contemporary f
 ood issues. The exhibition includes a simulation of a visit to a sushi sho
 p in Japan. People who know little about sushi will greatly enjoy the exhi
 bition\, and keen fans of sushi will find it fascinating too. And we very 
 much hope that through sushi\, the exhibition will also communicate someth
 ing about the history and customs of Japan. \n\n\n\nFinally\, we would lik
 e to express our gratitude to Hibino Terutoshi for his supervision of the 
 preparations for this exhibition\, and to all the other individuals and en
 tities whose unstinting efforts have made the exhibition a success. \n\nAd
 mission: FREE Advanced\, time-specific reservations are recommended. \nBo

DESCRIPTION:Some events reveal their full character only when you arrive. 
 First Come First Serve is presented as an experience you actually have to 
 attend\, with the details intentionally kept limited in the current listin
 g. The Dear Summer Edition is scheduled for Saturday\, September 19\, 2026
 \, running from 3:00 PM to 9:00 PM. \nA six-hour summer edition\nWith six 
 hours on the schedule\, this event offers an extended window to take in th
 e experience rather than a brief\, tightly defined appearance. The listing
  identifies the occasion as a Dear Summer Edition\, giving it a seasonal i
 dentity while leaving the format open to discovery. \nThat sense of antici
 pation is central to the event’s presentation. Its description is intent
 ionally concise\, framing First Come First Serve as something that cannot 
 be fully understood from a listing alone. For anyone drawn to events that 
 keep some of their character under wraps\, the limited information is part
  of the appeal. \nWhat is confirmed\n\nThe event takes place on Saturday\,
  September 19\, 2026.\nThe scheduled hours are 3:00 PM to 9:00 PM.\nThe ev
 ent is identified as the Dear Summer Edition.\nThe current listing describ
 es it as a six-hour experience.\nThe location is to be announced.\n\nDetai
 ls to watch for\nThe venue and location have not yet been announced\, so a
 ttendees should look for an official update before making plans around the
  event. Other practical questions\, including what admission includes\, th
 e dress code\, and whether sections or bottles can be reserved\, are raise
 d in the listing but are not answered in the available information. \nThe 
 listing also states that there are no early-bird or promotional codes. A n
 o-refunds policy is noted as well\, making it important to review the avai
 lable event information carefully before committing. \nWho may enjoy it\nF
 irst Come First Serve may suit people who appreciate event concepts built 
 around anticipation\, atmosphere and an in-person reveal. Rather than spel
 ling out every element in advance\, the event invites its audience to expe
 rience the occasion directly during its six-hour Saturday schedule. \nFor 
 now\, the essential plan is straightforward: keep September 19 open\, note
  the 3:00 PM to 9:00 PM timing\, and wait for the location announcement an
 d any further event details.

DESCRIPTION:Blog #5: RENAISSANCE FLORENCE – ART ANDRELIGIONMarch 30\, 20
 26Ciao\, I nostri amici! As we’ve been touring round the magnificent art
 \, especially the sculpture\, we’ve gained a deep appreciation of why Fl
 orence is considered to be the birthplace of the Renaissance. We’d like 
 to take you on a virtual tour to show how this new way of viewing the worl
 d developed. We begin with a statue of David\, sculpted by a young Donatel
 lo around 1408: He is posed like a victorious knight with the head of the 
 slain Goliath at his feet – more of a military figure than a religious o
 ne. This was Donatello’s first break with medieval classicism. He contin
 ued to make great strides by the time he sculpted his second David in 1440
 :  This David is the first freestanding nude\, with a confident\, relaxed 
 – and sensual – pose. The Florentines were now ready to enjoy the huma
 n body as beautiful rather than something dirty to be hidden. But even mor
 e is going on during this artistic transition. Take a look\, for example\,
  at Michelangelo’s David\, completed in 1440:  David carries his sling o
 ver his shoulder and grasps a stone in his hand\, ready to attack the Phil
 istine enemy. But as you admire the beauty of this statue\, does it seem t
 o depict a biblical youth? Or perhaps the perfect body of a Roman God? (By
  the way\, we must point out a flaw committed by both these artists: you
 ’ll notice that David isn’t circumcised!) So we see that Renaissance a
 rt often depicted a harmonious blend of Roman paganism with Christian reli
 gion. We see this also in an earlier sculpture by Michelangelo:  Is this D
 avid reaching for his sling\, or Apollo reaching for an arrow? Even art cr
 itics are divided on this question. We can also witness this blend in pain
 tings – for example\, this work by Boticelli\, titled “The Rite of Spr
 ing”:  Is the central figure\, with arms in welcoming gesture\, the godd
 ess Venus – or the Virgin Mary? In contemporary Italian Catholicism\, Ma
 ry is the major figure of worship rather than Jesus. To some people\, the 
 rituals of veneration toward Mary (e.g. crowning the head of her statue wi
 th laurels\, making votive requests for her to grant a wish) are more remi
 niscent of superstition than religion. However\, we found a different answ
 er in a church we visited on Palm Sunday:  When you enter many churches in
  Europe\, your first reaction is often “oh Wow!” as you’re overwhelm
 ed by their massive size\, elaborate architecture and vivid frescoes. In t
 his church\, however\, named the Basilica of San Miniato al Monte\, we wer
 e drawn in by what Cheryl described as an aura of solemnity. When we walke
 d in\, the monk was giving a sermon\, and then later baptised a baby:  We 
 learned that this basilica is a working monastery. To help support themsel
 ves\, the monks make all kinds of jams\, sweets and household items\, whic
 h they sell in the shop beside the church. While I (Larry) was in line at 
 the counter\, a young woman ahead of me completed her purchase and then as
 ked the monk to bless her. (No photo here\; you will need to imagine the s
 cene.). The monk\, dressed in an impeccably folded beige cowl\, stepped aw
 ay from the counter to face her. In silence\, he placed a gentle hand on h
 er forehead\, let it remain for a few moments\, and then made the sign of 
 the cross before her face. The woman\, in tears\, thanked the priest and s
 lowly walked away. Having watched from nearby\, I couldn’t help but thin
 k what a wonderful experience – more than this: a sacred encounter – t
 o know that you are blessed. Speaking of blessing\, we send our warmest wi
 shes to you for a joyous Pesach and Easter season. May this time bring ble
 ssing to you and your loved ones. Ciao\, Rabbino Lorenzo e Cherylissima (h
 er new name\, given by a dear friend\, along with a blessing!) 								\n

  LAST!March 19\, 2026Ciao\, I nostri amici! We settled into our apartment 
 in Florence\, dropped our luggage and then did our first shopping trip. He
 re’s Cheryl taking the shopping bags one by one up the stairs:       
    Wait\, that’s not all: there are a total of 83 steps to our apartmen
 t. But that’s OK: More stairs\, more pasta! Congregation Shir Hadash has
  been very warm and welcoming. Our first service was to celebrate Purim. M
 any people showed up in costume as we acted out the Book of Esther:  We ha
 ve visited some of our favourite haunts in this beautiful city. For exampl
 e\, Ponte Vecchio (“old bridge”)\, spanning the Arno River:  What make
 s this bridge unique is that it is lined with shops. Above them is a “se
 cret corridor” (with the windows) used by the Medici rulers to get from 
 the Pitti Palace to the government offices (now the Uffizi Gallery) on the
  other side of the river\, avoiding any enemies in wait. During World War 
 2\, it was the only bridge not bombed by the Germans. A story has it that 
 the pilot assigned this task took a look down at the bridge and couldn’t
  bring himself to destroy it. Lucky for the Florentines\, and for us! Whil
 e we stood admiring it\, a tourist offered to take our photo:  Although mo
 st Italians don’t know much about the Jewish population here\, Florentin
 es are certainly aware of the majestic Great Synagogue (Orthodox) that dom
 inates the skyline and is a popular tourist site:  In our neighbourhood\, 
 we noticed this street:  Nathan Cassuto was a Rabbi and Talmudic scholar i
 n the Florence community. He was deported to Auschwitz and was murdered in
  1945. There is a custom throughout several European countries to place a 
 brass “stumbling-stone” in front of the home of those deported to conc
 entration camps. We chanced upon Rabbi Cassuto’s stone on a walk through
  what was his neighbourhood:  We have seen a number of these in Florence. 
 Now to one of our favourite subjects: consumable delicacies. Determined to
  become renowned chefs\, we took a pasta making class.  And of course\, th
 e quest for the best gelateria continues. This one just might be the final
 ist – it’s called “Perché Non” (why not? – not a question Loren
 zo has to ask). Pictured here is Sarah\, a leader of the Shir Hadash commu
 nity.  That’s it for now – alla prossima\,Cara Cheryl e Rabbino Lorenz

 				Blog #3: Imperial RomeMarch 12\, 2026Ciao\, I nostri amici! We have be
 en in Florence for about two weeks\, but we still have some experiences to
  share about Rome. In this installment\, we’ll trace a brief history of 
 the ancient Romans – especially their relationship with the Jewish popul
 ation. First of all\, we learned that the Jewish population in Rome dates 
 back to the second century BCE. Both Julius Caesar and Augustus treated th
 e Jews well. That changed when Nero became Emperor in 54 CE. As a monument
  to the vast Roman empire\, he decided to build the Colosseum. It took tho
 usands of slaves to take part in this project — many of them Jewish slav
 es. This modern-day photo gives you an impression of its immense size:  Th
 e “events” took place on a stage that covered the full inner circle. U
 nderneath that stage were cells for the animals and gladiators. The “eve
 nts” took place in three stages: Animals vs. animals: one killing the ot
 herAnimals vs. gladiators: dittoGladiator vs. gladiator. When one of them 
 lay defeated on the ground (if he hadn’t already been killed)\, either t
 he Emperor or the crowd would vote “thumbs up” to spare his life or 
 “thumbs down” to instruct the victor to slay him.In short\, the Coloss
 eum\, intended to show the vast reach of Roman power\, was in essence an a
 rena of gore and death. (And we think hockey fans are bad!) It was also Ne
 ro’s way of keeping the masses entertained with “circuses and bread\,
 ” thus diverting them from making trouble. Things got even worse during 
 the second Jewish revolt from 66-70 CE. The Roman general Titus slaughtere
 d thousands of Jews\, and brought 50\,000 back to Rome as slaves. The Arch
  of Titus depicts the procession to Rome along with the Temple Menorah and
  holy artifacts:  The next Emperor in this story is Hadrian (117-138 CE). 
 Our guide Francesca took us to Tivoli\, just outside Rome\, where we toure
 d the luxurious villa where Hadrian made his home. Here is a scale model o
 f the estate\, which covered hundreds of hectares of land:  Located near t
 he centre was his “marina palace”:  As you can see\, it was surrounded
  by a moat to shelter him from his many enemies. Francesca told us that Ha
 drian was — and still is — admired as a brilliant architect and admini
 strator. What is less known among Italians is that he decimated Jerusalem 
 and renamed it Aelia Capitolina. He drove the Jewish inhabitants from the 
 city\, marking the beginning of the Jewish Diaspora. After all this histor
 y\, let’s pause for a brief refreshment:  Now we jump ahead several cent
 uries to more recent Roman history. While visiting the synagogue\, we lear
 ned that\, during the early stages of the Holocaust\, when the Nazis invad
 ed Rome\, they challenged the Jewish leadership to collect 50 kilograms of
  gold in order to be spared deportation. In the following display case\, w
 e see some of the receipts for the gold collected from individual families
 :  Although the community succeeded in collecting the requisite amount\, t
 he Nazis deported them anyway. During our last night in Rome\, we frequent
 ed one of the several kosher restaurants in the ghetto area. The waiter ki
 ndly offered to take our photo. It seems he couldn’t resist making it a 
 selfie!  The next day we were off to Florence. Stay tuned for our first ad
 ventures in la bella città! Cheryl la Cara e Rabbino Lorenzo 								\n

 			Blog #2: Visit to RomeMarch 1\, 2026Ciao\, from Rome! When we checked i
 nto our lovely hotel\, the staff welcomed us and invited us to have a welc
 ome drink.  We ordered an Aperol spritz (the national drink here) – and
  this is what arrived!  The next day\, we had a partial tour of the synago
 gue – partial\, because there was a Bar Mitzvah and we had to stay in a 
 corner of the sanctuary. However\, Lorenzo managed to catch this photo of 
 the group on the Bima:  The boy was chanting a prayer called Shir Hakavod 
 to a traditional melody – which will be familiar to Solelniks as the tun
 e we use for Ashrey!  We’ll have more to tell about the Great Synagogue
  of Rome in a future installment\, but this photo gives you an idea of the
  majestic interior. We then joined a guided tour of the Rome ghetto\, wher
 e Jews in the 16th century were forced to live. All of the community\, ri
 ch and poor\, were confined to a small area and had no access to building 
 materials.  As this photo shows\, they had to scrounge whatever was avail
 able from discarded debris:  There was no room in the ghetto to bury the d
 ead. After some lengthy negotiation\, the Rome officials granted a section
  of land to use as a cemetery. Today\, this area has become a rose garden

DESCRIPTION:Bad Bunny’s music takes on a new sound at this Candlelight t
 ribute concert in Toronto. Presented as a live string quartet performance\
 , the evening features arrangements of songs associated with the Puerto Ri
 can artist in the intimate setting of The Royal Theatre. \nTaking place on
  September 19\, 2026\, the performance is scheduled from 8:45 PM to 11:30 
 PM. It offers listeners a chance to experience Bad Bunny-inspired arrangem
 ents through the distinct textures of bowed strings\, bringing a classical
  ensemble approach to the rhythms and melodies of his catalogue. \nA strin
 g quartet tribute to Bad Bunny\nRather than a performance by Bad Bunny him
 self\, this is a tribute experience built around live arrangements of his 
 songs. The string quartet format creates a different musical perspective\,
  translating the source material into an ensemble setting centred on violi
 ns\, viola and cello. \nThat makes the event a potential fit for Bad Bunny
  listeners who are interested in hearing familiar songs interpreted in a n
 ew way\, as well as concertgoers looking for a live music experience that 
 blends contemporary popular music with a chamber-style presentation. \nAn 
 evening at The Royal Theatre\nThe concert takes place at The Royal Theatre
 \, located at 608 College Street in Toronto. Situated in the city’s Coll
 ege Street area\, the venue provides the setting for an evening focused on
  live performance and reimagined arrangements. \nWith the scheduled perfor
 mance extending from 8:45 PM until 11:30 PM\, the event is structured as a
 n evening concert rather than a daytime activity. Guests can expect the pr
 ogramme to centre on the string quartet’s live tribute arrangements thro
 ughout the event. \nImportant event note\nCandlelight: Tribute to Bad Bunn
 y is a tribute experience and is not affiliated with\, endorsed by\, or sp
 onsored by Bad Bunny or the artist’s representatives. The performance ce
 lebrates arrangements of Bad Bunny songs while remaining separate from the
  artist’s official performances and organization. \nFor Toronto fans cur
 ious about a string-led interpretation of Bad Bunny’s music\, this conce
 rt offers a distinctive way to hear the songs in a live ensemble setting a
 t The Royal Theatre.

DESCRIPTION:Join A Greener Future for a cigarette butt cleanup at Harbourf

 p Day\, we’re coming together for something just as important: caring fo
 r the waterfront we share.\n\nThis September\, people across Canada are wo
 rking together to collect one million cigarette butts. Every butt collecte
 d at this event will be counted toward that goal\, and kept out of our par
 ks\, streets and waterways.\n\nNo experience is needed. A Greener Future s
 taff will be on site to welcome volunteers\, provide cleanup supplies and 
 share a brief safety orientation. Come on your own or bring friends and fa
 mily\, every helping hand makes a difference.\n\nAnd this year we're turni
 ng trash into treasure!\n\nIf we hit our goal\, the collected cigarette wa
 ste will be recycled into a community park bench - a lasting symbol of env
 ironmental action and collective impact. Every single butt collected direc
 tly contributes to building something lasting.\n\nReady to Join? Complete 
 the registration form to reserve your spot. We’ll email you a confirmati
 on\, event reminders and any final meeting details before the cleanup.

DESCRIPTION:Introducing the WAAC Critique Circle\nMaking art can be a soli
 tary experience\, but it doesn’t have to be. Sometimes\, all it takes is
  another set of eyes to help you see your work in a new way. \nWe’re exc
 ited to introduce the WAAC Critique Circle\, a supportive small-group sess
 ion where artists can share works in progress and receive thoughtful\, con
 structive feedback in a welcoming environment. \nEach session will be limi
 ted to few artists\, allowing everyone the time and attention needed for a
  meaningful critique. Together\, we’ll ask questions\, celebrate what’
 s working\, and offer suggestions that can help move the work forward. \nA
 rtists at every stage are welcome.\nBring a finished piece\, a work in pro
 gress\, or something you’re still figuring out. Whether you’re looking
  for a fresh perspective\, feeling stuck\, or simply want to talk through 
 your ideas\, this is a space to explore your work alongside fellow artists
 . There’s no need to have all the answers. Come with your questions\, id
 eas\, and curiosity. \nSunday\, September 20\, 2026 | Online via Zoom | 11
 am-12pm \nModerator: WAAC member Maarika Lepik \nWe’re inviting WAAC mem
 bers who are interested in participating to write at waac@womensartofcanad
 a.com and let us know. \nMore details\, including the Zoom link and sessio
 n format\, will be shared with participating artists. We look forward to c
 reating a space for thoughtful exchange\, encouragement\, and artistic gro
 wth within the WAAC community.

 	Jacob Tsimerman is a Canadian mathematician and a professor in the Depart
 ment of Mathematics in the Faculty of Arts & Science at the University of 
 Toronto. His research focuses on analytic number theory and arithmetic geo
 metry\, particularly the study of integer solutions to certain types of po
 lynomial equations.  \nBorn in Russia\, Tsimerman developed an interest i
 n mathematical puzzles at the age of three. He won two gold medals as a hi
 gh school student at the International Mathematical Olympiad\, including a
  perfect score in 2004. He studied mathematics at the University of Toront
 o as an undergraduate student and received his PhD from Princeton Universi
 ty in 2011\, under the supervision of Peter Sarnak.  \nTsimerman held a p
 ostdoctoral position at Harvard University as a Junior Fellow of the Harva
 rd Society of Fellows. In July 2014\, he was awarded a Sloan Research Fell
 owship from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and began his term as assistant
  professor at the University of Toronto\, where he currently holds the pos
 ition of full professor.  \nTsimerman is widely recognized for his contri
 bution to proving the long-standing André-Oort conjecture in 2021\, a mil
 estone in modern mathematics that links special points with broader geomet
 ric structures\, which has since unlocked new avenues of research inquiry.
  This included establishing key results in functional transcendence theory
 \, most notably\, the Ax-Schanuel theorem for Hodge structures. He is also
  recognized for resolving the Griffiths conjecture\, developing an o-minim
 al version of the GAGA theorems. He was awarded a 2026 Fields Medal from t
 he International Mathematical Union in recognition of these and other achi
 evements.  \nTsimerman was the Distinguished Visiting Professor at the In
 stitute for Advanced Study’s  School of Mathematics for its 2025-26 Spe
 cial Year on Arithmetic Geometry\, Hodge Theory\, and o-minimality.  \nHe
  was elected a fellow of both the Royal Society and the Royal Society of C
 anada in 2025\, and was awarded the 2024 John L. Synge Award\, the 2023 Os
 trowski Prize\, the 2022 New Horizons in Mathematics Prize\, the 2019 Coxe
 ter-James Prize and the 2015 Sastra Ramanujan Prize.

DESCRIPTION:Blog #5: RENAISSANCE FLORENCE – ART ANDRELIGIONMarch 30\, 20
 26Ciao\, I nostri amici! As we’ve been touring round the magnificent art
 \, especially the sculpture\, we’ve gained a deep appreciation of why Fl
 orence is considered to be the birthplace of the Renaissance. We’d like 
 to take you on a virtual tour to show how this new way of viewing the worl
 d developed. We begin with a statue of David\, sculpted by a young Donatel
 lo around 1408: He is posed like a victorious knight with the head of the 
 slain Goliath at his feet – more of a military figure than a religious o
 ne. This was Donatello’s first break with medieval classicism. He contin
 ued to make great strides by the time he sculpted his second David in 1440
 :  This David is the first freestanding nude\, with a confident\, relaxed 
 – and sensual – pose. The Florentines were now ready to enjoy the huma
 n body as beautiful rather than something dirty to be hidden. But even mor
 e is going on during this artistic transition. Take a look\, for example\,
  at Michelangelo’s David\, completed in 1440:  David carries his sling o
 ver his shoulder and grasps a stone in his hand\, ready to attack the Phil
 istine enemy. But as you admire the beauty of this statue\, does it seem t
 o depict a biblical youth? Or perhaps the perfect body of a Roman God? (By
  the way\, we must point out a flaw committed by both these artists: you
 ’ll notice that David isn’t circumcised!) So we see that Renaissance a
 rt often depicted a harmonious blend of Roman paganism with Christian reli
 gion. We see this also in an earlier sculpture by Michelangelo:  Is this D
 avid reaching for his sling\, or Apollo reaching for an arrow? Even art cr
 itics are divided on this question. We can also witness this blend in pain
 tings – for example\, this work by Boticelli\, titled “The Rite of Spr
 ing”:  Is the central figure\, with arms in welcoming gesture\, the godd
 ess Venus – or the Virgin Mary? In contemporary Italian Catholicism\, Ma
 ry is the major figure of worship rather than Jesus. To some people\, the 
 rituals of veneration toward Mary (e.g. crowning the head of her statue wi
 th laurels\, making votive requests for her to grant a wish) are more remi
 niscent of superstition than religion. However\, we found a different answ
 er in a church we visited on Palm Sunday:  When you enter many churches in
  Europe\, your first reaction is often “oh Wow!” as you’re overwhelm
 ed by their massive size\, elaborate architecture and vivid frescoes. In t
 his church\, however\, named the Basilica of San Miniato al Monte\, we wer
 e drawn in by what Cheryl described as an aura of solemnity. When we walke
 d in\, the monk was giving a sermon\, and then later baptised a baby:  We 
 learned that this basilica is a working monastery. To help support themsel
 ves\, the monks make all kinds of jams\, sweets and household items\, whic
 h they sell in the shop beside the church. While I (Larry) was in line at 
 the counter\, a young woman ahead of me completed her purchase and then as
 ked the monk to bless her. (No photo here\; you will need to imagine the s
 cene.). The monk\, dressed in an impeccably folded beige cowl\, stepped aw
 ay from the counter to face her. In silence\, he placed a gentle hand on h
 er forehead\, let it remain for a few moments\, and then made the sign of 
 the cross before her face. The woman\, in tears\, thanked the priest and s
 lowly walked away. Having watched from nearby\, I couldn’t help but thin
 k what a wonderful experience – more than this: a sacred encounter – t
 o know that you are blessed. Speaking of blessing\, we send our warmest wi
 shes to you for a joyous Pesach and Easter season. May this time bring ble
 ssing to you and your loved ones. Ciao\, Rabbino Lorenzo e Cherylissima (h
 er new name\, given by a dear friend\, along with a blessing!) 								\n

 s this bridge unique is that it is lined with shops. Above them is a “se
 cret corridor” (with the windows) used by the Medici rulers to get from 
 the Pitti Palace to the government offices (now the Uffizi Gallery) on the
  other side of the river\, avoiding any enemies in wait. During World War 
 2\, it was the only bridge not bombed by the Germans. A story has it that 
 the pilot assigned this task took a look down at the bridge and couldn’t
  bring himself to destroy it. Lucky for the Florentines\, and for us! Whil
 e we stood admiring it\, a tourist offered to take our photo:  Although mo
 st Italians don’t know much about the Jewish population here\, Florentin
 es are certainly aware of the majestic Great Synagogue (Orthodox) that dom
 inates the skyline and is a popular tourist site:  In our neighbourhood\, 
 we noticed this street:  Nathan Cassuto was a Rabbi and Talmudic scholar i
 n the Florence community. He was deported to Auschwitz and was murdered in
  1945. There is a custom throughout several European countries to place a 
 brass “stumbling-stone” in front of the home of those deported to conc
 entration camps. We chanced upon Rabbi Cassuto’s stone on a walk through
  what was his neighbourhood:  We have seen a number of these in Florence. 
 Now to one of our favourite subjects: consumable delicacies. Determined to
  become renowned chefs\, we took a pasta making class.  And of course\, th
 e quest for the best gelateria continues. This one just might be the final
 ist – it’s called “Perché Non” (why not? – not a question Loren
 zo has to ask). Pictured here is Sarah\, a leader of the Shir Hadash commu
 nity.  That’s it for now – alla prossima\,Cara Cheryl e Rabbino Lorenz

 				Blog #3: Imperial RomeMarch 12\, 2026Ciao\, I nostri amici! We have be
 en in Florence for about two weeks\, but we still have some experiences to
  share about Rome. In this installment\, we’ll trace a brief history of 
 the ancient Romans – especially their relationship with the Jewish popul
 ation. First of all\, we learned that the Jewish population in Rome dates 
 back to the second century BCE. Both Julius Caesar and Augustus treated th
 e Jews well. That changed when Nero became Emperor in 54 CE. As a monument
  to the vast Roman empire\, he decided to build the Colosseum. It took tho
 usands of slaves to take part in this project — many of them Jewish slav
 es. This modern-day photo gives you an impression of its immense size:  Th
 e “events” took place on a stage that covered the full inner circle. U
 nderneath that stage were cells for the animals and gladiators. The “eve
 nts” took place in three stages: Animals vs. animals: one killing the ot
 herAnimals vs. gladiators: dittoGladiator vs. gladiator. When one of them 
 lay defeated on the ground (if he hadn’t already been killed)\, either t
 he Emperor or the crowd would vote “thumbs up” to spare his life or 
 “thumbs down” to instruct the victor to slay him.In short\, the Coloss
 eum\, intended to show the vast reach of Roman power\, was in essence an a
 rena of gore and death. (And we think hockey fans are bad!) It was also Ne
 ro’s way of keeping the masses entertained with “circuses and bread\,
 ” thus diverting them from making trouble. Things got even worse during 
 the second Jewish revolt from 66-70 CE. The Roman general Titus slaughtere
 d thousands of Jews\, and brought 50\,000 back to Rome as slaves. The Arch
  of Titus depicts the procession to Rome along with the Temple Menorah and
  holy artifacts:  The next Emperor in this story is Hadrian (117-138 CE). 
 Our guide Francesca took us to Tivoli\, just outside Rome\, where we toure
 d the luxurious villa where Hadrian made his home. Here is a scale model o
 f the estate\, which covered hundreds of hectares of land:  Located near t
 he centre was his “marina palace”:  As you can see\, it was surrounded
  by a moat to shelter him from his many enemies. Francesca told us that Ha
 drian was — and still is — admired as a brilliant architect and admini
 strator. What is less known among Italians is that he decimated Jerusalem 
 and renamed it Aelia Capitolina. He drove the Jewish inhabitants from the 
 city\, marking the beginning of the Jewish Diaspora. After all this histor
 y\, let’s pause for a brief refreshment:  Now we jump ahead several cent
 uries to more recent Roman history. While visiting the synagogue\, we lear
 ned that\, during the early stages of the Holocaust\, when the Nazis invad
 ed Rome\, they challenged the Jewish leadership to collect 50 kilograms of
  gold in order to be spared deportation. In the following display case\, w
 e see some of the receipts for the gold collected from individual families
 :  Although the community succeeded in collecting the requisite amount\, t
 he Nazis deported them anyway. During our last night in Rome\, we frequent
 ed one of the several kosher restaurants in the ghetto area. The waiter ki
 ndly offered to take our photo. It seems he couldn’t resist making it a 
 selfie!  The next day we were off to Florence. Stay tuned for our first ad
 ventures in la bella città! Cheryl la Cara e Rabbino Lorenzo 								\n

 			Blog #2: Visit to RomeMarch 1\, 2026Ciao\, from Rome! When we checked i
 nto our lovely hotel\, the staff welcomed us and invited us to have a welc
 ome drink.  We ordered an Aperol spritz (the national drink here) – and
  this is what arrived!  The next day\, we had a partial tour of the synago
 gue – partial\, because there was a Bar Mitzvah and we had to stay in a 
 corner of the sanctuary. However\, Lorenzo managed to catch this photo of 
 the group on the Bima:  The boy was chanting a prayer called Shir Hakavod 
 to a traditional melody – which will be familiar to Solelniks as the tun
 e we use for Ashrey!  We’ll have more to tell about the Great Synagogue
  of Rome in a future installment\, but this photo gives you an idea of the
  majestic interior. We then joined a guided tour of the Rome ghetto\, wher
 e Jews in the 16th century were forced to live. All of the community\, ri
 ch and poor\, were confined to a small area and had no access to building 
 materials.  As this photo shows\, they had to scrounge whatever was avail
 able from discarded debris:  There was no room in the ghetto to bury the d
 ead. After some lengthy negotiation\, the Rome officials granted a section
  of land to use as a cemetery. Today\, this area has become a rose garden 
 that bears some vestiges of Jewish presence – the first photo shows a st
 one dating back to ghetto times\, from which the present-day design of the
  garden walkways is fashioned.  Getting back to our favourite theme of foo
 d\, we happened to arrive during the “artichoke season.”  There are t
 wo ways they are prepared: Jewish and Roman.  The first are deep-fried an
 d the second are sautéed in olive oil – both are delicious!  We’ll le
 ave you with a photo this delicious Roman specialty salad called “mille 
 foglie.” Like mille feulle it is muti-layered: thin wafer-like crackers\
 , puttarella (chickory)\, burrata and anchovies.  Delicioso!  Combined wi

DESCRIPTION:Blog #5: RENAISSANCE FLORENCE – ART ANDRELIGIONMarch 30\, 20
 26Ciao\, I nostri amici! As we’ve been touring round the magnificent art
 \, especially the sculpture\, we’ve gained a deep appreciation of why Fl
 orence is considered to be the birthplace of the Renaissance. We’d like 
 to take you on a virtual tour to show how this new way of viewing the worl
 d developed. We begin with a statue of David\, sculpted by a young Donatel
 lo around 1408: He is posed like a victorious knight with the head of the 
 slain Goliath at his feet – more of a military figure than a religious o
 ne. This was Donatello’s first break with medieval classicism. He contin
 ued to make great strides by the time he sculpted his second David in 1440
 :  This David is the first freestanding nude\, with a confident\, relaxed 
 – and sensual – pose. The Florentines were now ready to enjoy the huma
 n body as beautiful rather than something dirty to be hidden. But even mor
 e is going on during this artistic transition. Take a look\, for example\,
  at Michelangelo’s David\, completed in 1440:  David carries his sling o
 ver his shoulder and grasps a stone in his hand\, ready to attack the Phil
 istine enemy. But as you admire the beauty of this statue\, does it seem t
 o depict a biblical youth? Or perhaps the perfect body of a Roman God? (By
  the way\, we must point out a flaw committed by both these artists: you
 ’ll notice that David isn’t circumcised!) So we see that Renaissance a
 rt often depicted a harmonious blend of Roman paganism with Christian reli
 gion. We see this also in an earlier sculpture by Michelangelo:  Is this D
 avid reaching for his sling\, or Apollo reaching for an arrow? Even art cr
 itics are divided on this question. We can also witness this blend in pain
 tings – for example\, this work by Boticelli\, titled “The Rite of Spr
 ing”:  Is the central figure\, with arms in welcoming gesture\, the godd
 ess Venus – or the Virgin Mary? In contemporary Italian Catholicism\, Ma
 ry is the major figure of worship rather than Jesus. To some people\, the 
 rituals of veneration toward Mary (e.g. crowning the head of her statue wi
 th laurels\, making votive requests for her to grant a wish) are more remi
 niscent of superstition than religion. However\, we found a different answ
 er in a church we visited on Palm Sunday:  When you enter many churches in
  Europe\, your first reaction is often “oh Wow!” as you’re overwhelm
 ed by their massive size\, elaborate architecture and vivid frescoes. In t
 his church\, however\, named the Basilica of San Miniato al Monte\, we wer
 e drawn in by what Cheryl described as an aura of solemnity. When we walke
 d in\, the monk was giving a sermon\, and then later baptised a baby:  We 
 learned that this basilica is a working monastery. To help support themsel
 ves\, the monks make all kinds of jams\, sweets and household items\, whic
 h they sell in the shop beside the church. While I (Larry) was in line at 
 the counter\, a young woman ahead of me completed her purchase and then as
 ked the monk to bless her. (No photo here\; you will need to imagine the s
 cene.). The monk\, dressed in an impeccably folded beige cowl\, stepped aw
 ay from the counter to face her. In silence\, he placed a gentle hand on h
 er forehead\, let it remain for a few moments\, and then made the sign of 
 the cross before her face. The woman\, in tears\, thanked the priest and s
 lowly walked away. Having watched from nearby\, I couldn’t help but thin
 k what a wonderful experience – more than this: a sacred encounter – t
 o know that you are blessed. Speaking of blessing\, we send our warmest wi
 shes to you for a joyous Pesach and Easter season. May this time bring ble
 ssing to you and your loved ones. Ciao\, Rabbino Lorenzo e Cherylissima (h
 er new name\, given by a dear friend\, along with a blessing!) 								\n

    Wait\, that’s not all: there are a total of 83 steps to our apartmen
 t. But that’s OK: More stairs\, more pasta! Congregation Shir Hadash has
  been very warm and welcoming. Our first service was to celebrate Purim. M

 ued to make great strides by the time he sculpted his second David in 1440
 :  This David is the first freestanding nude\, with a confident\, relaxed 
 – and sensual – pose. The Florentines were now ready to enjoy the huma
 n body as beautiful rather than something dirty to be hidden. But even mor
 e is going on during this artistic transition. Take a look\, for example\,
  at Michelangelo’s David\, completed in 1440:  David carries his sling o
 ver his shoulder and grasps a stone in his hand\, ready to attack the Phil
 istine enemy. But as you admire the beauty of this statue\, does it seem t
 o depict a biblical youth? Or perhaps the perfect body of a Roman God? (By
  the way\, we must point out a flaw committed by both these artists: you
 ’ll notice that David isn’t circumcised!) So we see that Renaissance a
 rt often depicted a harmonious blend of Roman paganism with Christian reli
 gion. We see this also in an earlier sculpture by Michelangelo:  Is this D
 avid reaching for his sling\, or Apollo reaching for an arrow? Even art cr
 itics are divided on this question. We can also witness this blend in pain
 tings – for example\, this work by Boticelli\, titled “The Rite of Spr
 ing”:  Is the central figure\, with arms in welcoming gesture\, the godd
 ess Venus – or the Virgin Mary? In contemporary Italian Catholicism\, Ma
 ry is the major figure of worship rather than Jesus. To some people\, the 
 rituals of veneration toward Mary (e.g. crowning the head of her statue wi
 th laurels\, making votive requests for her to grant a wish) are more remi
 niscent of superstition than religion. However\, we found a different answ
 er in a church we visited on Palm Sunday:  When you enter many churches in
  Europe\, your first reaction is often “oh Wow!” as you’re overwhelm
 ed by their massive size\, elaborate architecture and vivid frescoes. In t
 his church\, however\, named the Basilica of San Miniato al Monte\, we wer
 e drawn in by what Cheryl described as an aura of solemnity. When we walke
 d in\, the monk was giving a sermon\, and then later baptised a baby:  We 
 learned that this basilica is a working monastery. To help support themsel
 ves\, the monks make all kinds of jams\, sweets and household items\, whic
 h they sell in the shop beside the church. While I (Larry) was in line at 
 the counter\, a young woman ahead of me completed her purchase and then as
 ked the monk to bless her. (No photo here\; you will need to imagine the s
 cene.). The monk\, dressed in an impeccably folded beige cowl\, stepped aw
 ay from the counter to face her. In silence\, he placed a gentle hand on h
 er forehead\, let it remain for a few moments\, and then made the sign of 
 the cross before her face. The woman\, in tears\, thanked the priest and s
 lowly walked away. Having watched from nearby\, I couldn’t help but thin
 k what a wonderful experience – more than this: a sacred encounter – t
 o know that you are blessed. Speaking of blessing\, we send our warmest wi
 shes to you for a joyous Pesach and Easter season. May this time bring ble

 				Blog #3: Imperial RomeMarch 12\, 2026Ciao\, I nostri amici! We have be
 en in Florence for about two weeks\, but we still have some experiences to
  share about Rome. In this installment\, we’ll trace a brief history of 
 the ancient Romans – especially their relationship with the Jewish popul
 ation. First of all\, we learned that the Jewish population in Rome dates 
 back to the second century BCE. Both Julius Caesar and Augustus treated th
 e Jews well. That changed when Nero became Emperor in 54 CE. As a monument
  to the vast Roman empire\, he decided to build the Colosseum. It took tho
 usands of slaves to take part in this project — many of them Jewish slav
 es. This modern-day photo gives you an impression of its immense size:  Th
 e “events” took place on a stage that covered the full inner circle. U
 nderneath that stage were cells for the animals and gladiators. The “eve
 nts” took place in three stages: Animals vs. animals: one killing the ot
 herAnimals vs. gladiators: dittoGladiator vs. gladiator. When one of them 
 lay defeated on the ground (if he hadn’t already been killed)\, either t
 he Emperor or the crowd would vote “thumbs up” to spare his life or 
 “thumbs down” to instruct the victor to slay him.In short\, the Coloss
 eum\, intended to show the vast reach of Roman power\, was in essence an a
 rena of gore and death. (And we think hockey fans are bad!) It was also Ne
 ro’s way of keeping the masses entertained with “circuses and bread\,
 ” thus diverting them from making trouble. Things got even worse during 
 the second Jewish revolt from 66-70 CE. The Roman general Titus slaughtere
 d thousands of Jews\, and brought 50\,000 back to Rome as slaves. The Arch
  of Titus depicts the procession to Rome along with the Temple Menorah and
  holy artifacts:  The next Emperor in this story is Hadrian (117-138 CE). 
 Our guide Francesca took us to Tivoli\, just outside Rome\, where we toure
 d the luxurious villa where Hadrian made his home. Here is a scale model o
 f the estate\, which covered hundreds of hectares of land:  Located near t
 he centre was his “marina palace”:  As you can see\, it was surrounded
  by a moat to shelter him from his many enemies. Francesca told us that Ha
 drian was — and still is — admired as a brilliant architect and admini
 strator. What is less known among Italians is that he decimated Jerusalem 
 and renamed it Aelia Capitolina. He drove the Jewish inhabitants from the 
 city\, marking the beginning of the Jewish Diaspora. After all this histor
 y\, let’s pause for a brief refreshment:  Now we jump ahead several cent
 uries to more recent Roman history. While visiting the synagogue\, we lear
 ned that\, during the early stages of the Holocaust\, when the Nazis invad
 ed Rome\, they challenged the Jewish leadership to collect 50 kilograms of
  gold in order to be spared deportation. In the following display case\, w
 e see some of the receipts for the gold collected from individual families
 :  Although the community succeeded in collecting the requisite amount\, t
 he Nazis deported them anyway. During our last night in Rome\, we frequent
 ed one of the several kosher restaurants in the ghetto area. The waiter ki
 ndly offered to take our photo. It seems he couldn’t resist making it a 
 selfie!  The next day we were off to Florence. Stay tuned for our first ad
 ventures in la bella città! Cheryl la Cara e Rabbino Lorenzo 								\n

DESCRIPTION:Blog #5: RENAISSANCE FLORENCE – ART ANDRELIGIONMarch 30\, 20
 26Ciao\, I nostri amici! As we’ve been touring round the magnificent art
 \, especially the sculpture\, we’ve gained a deep appreciation of why Fl
 orence is considered to be the birthplace of the Renaissance. We’d like 
 to take you on a virtual tour to show how this new way of viewing the worl
 d developed. We begin with a statue of David\, sculpted by a young Donatel
 lo around 1408: He is posed like a victorious knight with the head of the 
 slain Goliath at his feet – more of a military figure than a religious o
 ne. This was Donatello’s first break with medieval classicism. He contin
 ued to make great strides by the time he sculpted his second David in 1440
 :  This David is the first freestanding nude\, with a confident\, relaxed 
 – and sensual – pose. The Florentines were now ready to enjoy the huma
 n body as beautiful rather than something dirty to be hidden. But even mor
 e is going on during this artistic transition. Take a look\, for example\,

 ver his shoulder and grasps a stone in his hand\, ready to attack the Phil
 istine enemy. But as you admire the beauty of this statue\, does it seem t

DESCRIPTION:All of My Relations is a concept held across many Indigenous 
 nations of North America\, expressing the deep interconnectedness of all l
 ife\, the four-legged\, the winged ones\, the swimmers\, the plants\, and 
 the earth itself\, with humans woven into that same web rather than standi
 ng apart from it. \nIndinawemaaganidog / All My Relations brings this con
 cept to life through a diverse selection of contemporary Indigenous artist
 s and practices. Each artwork stands as its own singular voice\, yet contr
 ibutes to a larger\, shared whole\, a reminder that connection doesn’t r
 equire sameness\, and that community grows stronger through diversity of p
 ractice and perspective. \nThis exhibition is curated by Tristan McTague\
 , an Ojibwe painter\, curator\, and educator from Whitefish River First Na
 tion. Tristan holds a BFA (Honours with Distinction) in Drawing and Painti
 ng\, with a minor in Art History\, from OCAD University (2025). His curato
 rial and artistic practice draws on his deep engagement with art history\,
  spanning Indigenous art\, European art from 1250–1800\, and modern and 
 contemporary movements. \nVernissage: Saturday\, September 26 | 1-4 pm \nF

DESCRIPTION:Blog #5: RENAISSANCE FLORENCE – ART ANDRELIGIONMarch 30\, 20
 26Ciao\, I nostri amici! As we’ve been touring round the magnificent art
 \, especially the sculpture\, we’ve gained a deep appreciation of why Fl
 orence is considered to be the birthplace of the Renaissance. We’d like 
 to take you on a virtual tour to show how this new way of viewing the worl
 d developed. We begin with a statue of David\, sculpted by a young Donatel
 lo around 1408: He is posed like a victorious knight with the head of the 
 slain Goliath at his feet – more of a military figure than a religious o
 ne. This was Donatello’s first break with medieval classicism. He contin
 ued to make great strides by the time he sculpted his second David in 1440
 :  This David is the first freestanding nude\, with a confident\, relaxed 
 – and sensual – pose. The Florentines were now ready to enjoy the huma
 n body as beautiful rather than something dirty to be hidden. But even mor
 e is going on during this artistic transition. Take a look\, for example\,
  at Michelangelo’s David\, completed in 1440:  David carries his sling o
 ver his shoulder and grasps a stone in his hand\, ready to attack the Phil
 istine enemy. But as you admire the beauty of this statue\, does it seem t
 o depict a biblical youth? Or perhaps the perfect body of a Roman God? (By
  the way\, we must point out a flaw committed by both these artists: you
 ’ll notice that David isn’t circumcised!) So we see that Renaissance a
 rt often depicted a harmonious blend of Roman paganism with Christian reli
 gion. We see this also in an earlier sculpture by Michelangelo:  Is this D
 avid reaching for his sling\, or Apollo reaching for an arrow? Even art cr
 itics are divided on this question. We can also witness this blend in pain
 tings – for example\, this work by Boticelli\, titled “The Rite of Spr
 ing”:  Is the central figure\, with arms in welcoming gesture\, the godd
 ess Venus – or the Virgin Mary? In contemporary Italian Catholicism\, Ma
 ry is the major figure of worship rather than Jesus. To some people\, the 
 rituals of veneration toward Mary (e.g. crowning the head of her statue wi
 th laurels\, making votive requests for her to grant a wish) are more remi
 niscent of superstition than religion. However\, we found a different answ
 er in a church we visited on Palm Sunday:  When you enter many churches in
  Europe\, your first reaction is often “oh Wow!” as you’re overwhelm
 ed by their massive size\, elaborate architecture and vivid frescoes. In t
 his church\, however\, named the Basilica of San Miniato al Monte\, we wer
 e drawn in by what Cheryl described as an aura of solemnity. When we walke
 d in\, the monk was giving a sermon\, and then later baptised a baby:  We 
 learned that this basilica is a working monastery. To help support themsel
 ves\, the monks make all kinds of jams\, sweets and household items\, whic
 h they sell in the shop beside the church. While I (Larry) was in line at 
 the counter\, a young woman ahead of me completed her purchase and then as
 ked the monk to bless her. (No photo here\; you will need to imagine the s
 cene.). The monk\, dressed in an impeccably folded beige cowl\, stepped aw
 ay from the counter to face her. In silence\, he placed a gentle hand on h
 er forehead\, let it remain for a few moments\, and then made the sign of 
 the cross before her face. The woman\, in tears\, thanked the priest and s
 lowly walked away. Having watched from nearby\, I couldn’t help but thin
 k what a wonderful experience – more than this: a sacred encounter – t
 o know that you are blessed. Speaking of blessing\, we send our warmest wi
 shes to you for a joyous Pesach and Easter season. May this time bring ble
 ssing to you and your loved ones. Ciao\, Rabbino Lorenzo e Cherylissima (h
 er new name\, given by a dear friend\, along with a blessing!) 								\n

  LAST!March 19\, 2026Ciao\, I nostri amici! We settled into our apartment 
 in Florence\, dropped our luggage and then did our first shopping trip. He
 re’s Cheryl taking the shopping bags one by one up the stairs:       
    Wait\, that’s not all: there are a total of 83 steps to our apartmen
 t. But that’s OK: More stairs\, more pasta! Congregation Shir Hadash has
  been very warm and welcoming. Our first service was to celebrate Purim. M
 any people showed up in costume as we acted out the Book of Esther:  We ha
 ve visited some of our favourite haunts in this beautiful city. For exampl
 e\, Ponte Vecchio (“old bridge”)\, spanning the Arno River:  What make
 s this bridge unique is that it is lined with shops. Above them is a “se
 cret corridor” (with the windows) used by the Medici rulers to get from 
 the Pitti Palace to the government offices (now the Uffizi Gallery) on the
  other side of the river\, avoiding any enemies in wait. During World War 
 2\, it was the only bridge not bombed by the Germans. A story has it that 
 the pilot assigned this task took a look down at the bridge and couldn’t
  bring himself to destroy it. Lucky for the Florentines\, and for us! Whil
 e we stood admiring it\, a tourist offered to take our photo:  Although mo
 st Italians don’t know much about the Jewish population here\, Florentin
 es are certainly aware of the majestic Great Synagogue (Orthodox) that dom
 inates the skyline and is a popular tourist site:  In our neighbourhood\, 
 we noticed this street:  Nathan Cassuto was a Rabbi and Talmudic scholar i
 n the Florence community. He was deported to Auschwitz and was murdered in
  1945. There is a custom throughout several European countries to place a 
 brass “stumbling-stone” in front of the home of those deported to conc
 entration camps. We chanced upon Rabbi Cassuto’s stone on a walk through
  what was his neighbourhood:  We have seen a number of these in Florence. 
 Now to one of our favourite subjects: consumable delicacies. Determined to
  become renowned chefs\, we took a pasta making class.  And of course\, th
 e quest for the best gelateria continues. This one just might be the final
 ist – it’s called “Perché Non” (why not? – not a question Loren
 zo has to ask). Pictured here is Sarah\, a leader of the Shir Hadash commu
 nity.  That’s it for now – alla prossima\,Cara Cheryl e Rabbino Lorenz

 				Blog #3: Imperial RomeMarch 12\, 2026Ciao\, I nostri amici! We have be
 en in Florence for about two weeks\, but we still have some experiences to
  share about Rome. In this installment\, we’ll trace a brief history of 
 the ancient Romans – especially their relationship with the Jewish popul
 ation. First of all\, we learned that the Jewish population in Rome dates 
 back to the second century BCE. Both Julius Caesar and Augustus treated th
 e Jews well. That changed when Nero became Emperor in 54 CE. As a monument
  to the vast Roman empire\, he decided to build the Colosseum. It took tho
 usands of slaves to take part in this project — many of them Jewish slav
 es. This modern-day photo gives you an impression of its immense size:  Th
 e “events” took place on a stage that covered the full inner circle. U
 nderneath that stage were cells for the animals and gladiators. The “eve
 nts” took place in three stages: Animals vs. animals: one killing the ot
 herAnimals vs. gladiators: dittoGladiator vs. gladiator. When one of them 
 lay defeated on the ground (if he hadn’t already been killed)\, either t
 he Emperor or the crowd would vote “thumbs up” to spare his life or 
 “thumbs down” to instruct the victor to slay him.In short\, the Coloss
 eum\, intended to show the vast reach of Roman power\, was in essence an a
 rena of gore and death. (And we think hockey fans are bad!) It was also Ne
 ro’s way of keeping the masses entertained with “circuses and bread\,
 ” thus diverting them from making trouble. Things got even worse during 
 the second Jewish revolt from 66-70 CE. The Roman general Titus slaughtere
 d thousands of Jews\, and brought 50\,000 back to Rome as slaves. The Arch
  of Titus depicts the procession to Rome along with the Temple Menorah and
  holy artifacts:  The next Emperor in this story is Hadrian (117-138 CE). 
 Our guide Francesca took us to Tivoli\, just outside Rome\, where we toure
 d the luxurious villa where Hadrian made his home. Here is a scale model o
 f the estate\, which covered hundreds of hectares of land:  Located near t
 he centre was his “marina palace”:  As you can see\, it was surrounded
  by a moat to shelter him from his many enemies. Francesca told us that Ha
 drian was — and still is — admired as a brilliant architect and admini
 strator. What is less known among Italians is that he decimated Jerusalem 
 and renamed it Aelia Capitolina. He drove the Jewish inhabitants from the 
 city\, marking the beginning of the Jewish Diaspora. After all this histor
 y\, let’s pause for a brief refreshment:  Now we jump ahead several cent
 uries to more recent Roman history. While visiting the synagogue\, we lear
 ned that\, during the early stages of the Holocaust\, when the Nazis invad
 ed Rome\, they challenged the Jewish leadership to collect 50 kilograms of

 			Blog #2: Visit to RomeMarch 1\, 2026Ciao\, from Rome! When we checked i
 nto our lovely hotel\, the staff welcomed us and invited us to have a welc
 ome drink.  We ordered an Aperol spritz (the national drink here) – and
  this is what arrived!  The next day\, we had a partial tour of the synago
 gue – partial\, because there was a Bar Mitzvah and we had to stay in a 
 corner of the sanctuary. However\, Lorenzo managed to catch this photo of 
 the group on the Bima:  The boy was chanting a prayer called Shir Hakavod 
 to a traditional melody – which will be familiar to Solelniks as the tun
 e we use for Ashrey!  We’ll have more to tell about the Great Synagogue
  of Rome in a future installment\, but this photo gives you an idea of the
  majestic interior. We then joined a guided tour of the Rome ghetto\, wher
 e Jews in the 16th century were forced to live. All of the community\, ri
 ch and poor\, were confined to a small area and had no access to building 
 materials.  As this photo shows\, they had to scrounge whatever was avail
 able from discarded debris:  There was no room in the ghetto to bury the d
 ead. After some lengthy negotiation\, the Rome officials granted a section
  of land to use as a cemetery. Today\, this area has become a rose garden 
 that bears some vestiges of Jewish presence – the first photo shows a st
 one dating back to ghetto times\, from which the present-day design of the
  garden walkways is fashioned.  Getting back to our favourite theme of foo
 d\, we happened to arrive during the “artichoke season.”  There are t
 wo ways they are prepared: Jewish and Roman.  The first are deep-fried an
 d the second are sautéed in olive oil – both are delicious!  We’ll le
 ave you with a photo this delicious Roman specialty salad called “mille 
 foglie.” Like mille feulle it is muti-layered: thin wafer-like crackers\
 , puttarella (chickory)\, burrata and anchovies.  Delicioso!  Combined wi
 th the two types of artichoke\, caccio e pepe and fine local wine\, it won
 ’t surprise you to learn that the next day we purchased a bathroom scale

DESCRIPTION:Established in 1972\, the Japan Foundation creates global oppo
 rtunities to cultivate friendship and ties between Japan and the world thr
 ough culture\, language\, and dialogue. The Foundation operates programs i
 n the fields of arts and cultural exchange\, Japanese-language education o
 verseas\, and Japanese studies and intellectual exchange. As a new cultura
 l exchange program\, we are delighted to present a touring exhibition “I
  Love Sushi” that focuses on sushi\, the most popular Japanese cuisine a
 round the world. \n\n\n\nIn 2013\, UNESCO inscribed washoku—Japanese cui
 sine—on its Intangible Cultural Heritage list\, and sushi is the archety
 pal example. Sushi is a refined and healthy food that looks good and taste
 s good\, and it has already become a familiar item on menus worldwide. Fro
 m its roots in Southeast Asia or Southern China\, sushi reached Japan over
  a thousand years ago. Since then\, sushi has radically changed\, taking a
 dvantage of the abundance of natural resources found in and around the isl
 ands of Japan\, of the application of knowledge and ideas to sushi\, and o
 f the never-ending Japanese drive to try good-tasting foods at the earlies
 t opportunity. The type of sushi that first comes to mind for most people 
 today is nigiri-zushi\, which emerged about two hundred years ago in Edo\,
  the city that we now know as Tokyo. \n\n\n\nSushi has now spread outside 
 Japan’s borders\, and is enjoyed around the world. But although it has b
 ecome a familiar food\, many people have only discovered a few of its attr
 actions. This exhibition aims to provide an in-depth visual guide to the a
 ppeal of sushi. It includes the chance to learn about how Japan took in su
 shi in its original form\, how it modified sushi to suit the natural envir
 onment\, culture\, and lifestyles of individual areas. It also introduces 
 today’s vibrant sushi culture\, and it encourages us to think about the 
 potential of sushi as a food for the future in the light of contemporary f
 ood issues. The exhibition includes a simulation of a visit to a sushi sho
 p in Japan. People who know little about sushi will greatly enjoy the exhi
 bition\, and keen fans of sushi will find it fascinating too. And we very 
 much hope that through sushi\, the exhibition will also communicate someth
 ing about the history and customs of Japan. \n\n\n\nFinally\, we would lik
 e to express our gratitude to Hibino Terutoshi for his supervision of the 
 preparations for this exhibition\, and to all the other individuals and en
 tities whose unstinting efforts have made the exhibition a success. \n\nAd

 00pm\, ONLINE \nWAAC Members Free /  Non-Members $20 \nThe Women’s Art 
 Association of Canada (WAAC) welcomes Canadian mixed-media artist and phot
 ographer Morgan Jones (http://morganjonesart.com/) to launch the fall se
 ason of its popular Artist VOICES series on Tuesday\, September 22\, onl
 ine. \nIn Constructing Memory: From Inspiration to Image\, Jones will open
  up his creative process and explore how an initial idea is transformed in
 to one of his richly constructed\, cinematic works. \nWorking across photo
 graphy\, digital composition\, painting and woodworking\, Jones creates im
 agined worlds rooted in memory and nostalgia. Animals and unexpected chara
 cters often inhabit familiar-looking places\, creating scenes that seem to
  carry a story while leaving room for viewers to find their own. \nDuring
  Artist VOICES\, Jones will share where his ideas begin and take audience
 s behind the scenes of his mixed-media practice\, from photography and the
  creation of curated environments through digital composition and\, ultima
 tely\, the finished work. The presentation offers a rare opportunity to se
 e not only what an artist creates\, but how an image evolves from inspirat
 ion to realization. \nJones became a full-time artist in 2013 after leavin
 g a career in corporate sales. Since then\, he has developed a distinctive
  visual language that explores the memories and narratives we attach to pl
 aces\, objects and images. His work has been exhibited and collected throu
 ghout Canada and internationally. \nArtist VOICES is a WAAC presentation 
 series that brings artists and audiences together for an inside look at ar
 tistic practice\, inspiration and the many different paths that lead to a 
 finished work.

DESCRIPTION:Blog #5: RENAISSANCE FLORENCE – ART ANDRELIGIONMarch 30\, 20
 26Ciao\, I nostri amici! As we’ve been touring round the magnificent art
 \, especially the sculpture\, we’ve gained a deep appreciation of why Fl
 orence is considered to be the birthplace of the Renaissance. We’d like 
 to take you on a virtual tour to show how this new way of viewing the worl
 d developed. We begin with a statue of David\, sculpted by a young Donatel
 lo around 1408: He is posed like a victorious knight with the head of the 
 slain Goliath at his feet – more of a military figure than a religious o
 ne. This was Donatello’s first break with medieval classicism. He contin
 ued to make great strides by the time he sculpted his second David in 1440
 :  This David is the first freestanding nude\, with a confident\, relaxed 
 – and sensual – pose. The Florentines were now ready to enjoy the huma
 n body as beautiful rather than something dirty to be hidden. But even mor
 e is going on during this artistic transition. Take a look\, for example\,
  at Michelangelo’s David\, completed in 1440:  David carries his sling o
 ver his shoulder and grasps a stone in his hand\, ready to attack the Phil
 istine enemy. But as you admire the beauty of this statue\, does it seem t
 o depict a biblical youth? Or perhaps the perfect body of a Roman God? (By
  the way\, we must point out a flaw committed by both these artists: you
 ’ll notice that David isn’t circumcised!) So we see that Renaissance a
 rt often depicted a harmonious blend of Roman paganism with Christian reli
 gion. We see this also in an earlier sculpture by Michelangelo:  Is this D
 avid reaching for his sling\, or Apollo reaching for an arrow? Even art cr
 itics are divided on this question. We can also witness this blend in pain
 tings – for example\, this work by Boticelli\, titled “The Rite of Spr
 ing”:  Is the central figure\, with arms in welcoming gesture\, the godd
 ess Venus – or the Virgin Mary? In contemporary Italian Catholicism\, Ma
 ry is the major figure of worship rather than Jesus. To some people\, the 
 rituals of veneration toward Mary (e.g. crowning the head of her statue wi
 th laurels\, making votive requests for her to grant a wish) are more remi
 niscent of superstition than religion. However\, we found a different answ
 er in a church we visited on Palm Sunday:  When you enter many churches in
  Europe\, your first reaction is often “oh Wow!” as you’re overwhelm
 ed by their massive size\, elaborate architecture and vivid frescoes. In t
 his church\, however\, named the Basilica of San Miniato al Monte\, we wer
 e drawn in by what Cheryl described as an aura of solemnity. When we walke
 d in\, the monk was giving a sermon\, and then later baptised a baby:  We 
 learned that this basilica is a working monastery. To help support themsel
 ves\, the monks make all kinds of jams\, sweets and household items\, whic
 h they sell in the shop beside the church. While I (Larry) was in line at 
 the counter\, a young woman ahead of me completed her purchase and then as
 ked the monk to bless her. (No photo here\; you will need to imagine the s
 cene.). The monk\, dressed in an impeccably folded beige cowl\, stepped aw
 ay from the counter to face her. In silence\, he placed a gentle hand on h
 er forehead\, let it remain for a few moments\, and then made the sign of 
 the cross before her face. The woman\, in tears\, thanked the priest and s
 lowly walked away. Having watched from nearby\, I couldn’t help but thin
 k what a wonderful experience – more than this: a sacred encounter – t
 o know that you are blessed. Speaking of blessing\, we send our warmest wi
 shes to you for a joyous Pesach and Easter season. May this time bring ble
 ssing to you and your loved ones. Ciao\, Rabbino Lorenzo e Cherylissima (h

  LAST!March 19\, 2026Ciao\, I nostri amici! We settled into our apartment 
 in Florence\, dropped our luggage and then did our first shopping trip. He
 re’s Cheryl taking the shopping bags one by one up the stairs:       
    Wait\, that’s not all: there are a total of 83 steps to our apartmen
 t. But that’s OK: More stairs\, more pasta! Congregation Shir Hadash has
  been very warm and welcoming. Our first service was to celebrate Purim. M
 any people showed up in costume as we acted out the Book of Esther:  We ha
 ve visited some of our favourite haunts in this beautiful city. For exampl
 e\, Ponte Vecchio (“old bridge”)\, spanning the Arno River:  What make
 s this bridge unique is that it is lined with shops. Above them is a “se
 cret corridor” (with the windows) used by the Medici rulers to get from 
 the Pitti Palace to the government offices (now the Uffizi Gallery) on the
  other side of the river\, avoiding any enemies in wait. During World War 
 2\, it was the only bridge not bombed by the Germans. A story has it that 
 the pilot assigned this task took a look down at the bridge and couldn’t
  bring himself to destroy it. Lucky for the Florentines\, and for us! Whil
 e we stood admiring it\, a tourist offered to take our photo:  Although mo
 st Italians don’t know much about the Jewish population here\, Florentin
 es are certainly aware of the majestic Great Synagogue (Orthodox) that dom
 inates the skyline and is a popular tourist site:  In our neighbourhood\, 
 we noticed this street:  Nathan Cassuto was a Rabbi and Talmudic scholar i
 n the Florence community. He was deported to Auschwitz and was murdered in
  1945. There is a custom throughout several European countries to place a 
 brass “stumbling-stone” in front of the home of those deported to conc
 entration camps. We chanced upon Rabbi Cassuto’s stone on a walk through
  what was his neighbourhood:  We have seen a number of these in Florence. 
 Now to one of our favourite subjects: consumable delicacies. Determined to
  become renowned chefs\, we took a pasta making class.  And of course\, th
 e quest for the best gelateria continues. This one just might be the final
 ist – it’s called “Perché Non” (why not? – not a question Loren
 zo has to ask). Pictured here is Sarah\, a leader of the Shir Hadash commu
 nity.  That’s it for now – alla prossima\,Cara Cheryl e Rabbino Lorenz

 				Blog #3: Imperial RomeMarch 12\, 2026Ciao\, I nostri amici! We have be
 en in Florence for about two weeks\, but we still have some experiences to
  share about Rome. In this installment\, we’ll trace a brief history of 
 the ancient Romans – especially their relationship with the Jewish popul
 ation. First of all\, we learned that the Jewish population in Rome dates 
 back to the second century BCE. Both Julius Caesar and Augustus treated th
 e Jews well. That changed when Nero became Emperor in 54 CE. As a monument
  to the vast Roman empire\, he decided to build the Colosseum. It took tho
 usands of slaves to take part in this project — many of them Jewish slav
 es. This modern-day photo gives you an impression of its immense size:  Th
 e “events” took place on a stage that covered the full inner circle. U
 nderneath that stage were cells for the animals and gladiators. The “eve
 nts” took place in three stages: Animals vs. animals: one killing the ot
 herAnimals vs. gladiators: dittoGladiator vs. gladiator. When one of them 
 lay defeated on the ground (if he hadn’t already been killed)\, either t
 he Emperor or the crowd would vote “thumbs up” to spare his life or 
 “thumbs down” to instruct the victor to slay him.In short\, the Coloss
 eum\, intended to show the vast reach of Roman power\, was in essence an a
 rena of gore and death. (And we think hockey fans are bad!) It was also Ne
 ro’s way of keeping the masses entertained with “circuses and bread\,
 ” thus diverting them from making trouble. Things got even worse during 
 the second Jewish revolt from 66-70 CE. The Roman general Titus slaughtere
 d thousands of Jews\, and brought 50\,000 back to Rome as slaves. The Arch
  of Titus depicts the procession to Rome along with the Temple Menorah and
  holy artifacts:  The next Emperor in this story is Hadrian (117-138 CE). 
 Our guide Francesca took us to Tivoli\, just outside Rome\, where we toure
 d the luxurious villa where Hadrian made his home. Here is a scale model o
 f the estate\, which covered hundreds of hectares of land:  Located near t
 he centre was his “marina palace”:  As you can see\, it was surrounded
  by a moat to shelter him from his many enemies. Francesca told us that Ha
 drian was — and still is — admired as a brilliant architect and admini
 strator. What is less known among Italians is that he decimated Jerusalem 
 and renamed it Aelia Capitolina. He drove the Jewish inhabitants from the 
 city\, marking the beginning of the Jewish Diaspora. After all this histor
 y\, let’s pause for a brief refreshment:  Now we jump ahead several cent
 uries to more recent Roman history. While visiting the synagogue\, we lear
 ned that\, during the early stages of the Holocaust\, when the Nazis invad
 ed Rome\, they challenged the Jewish leadership to collect 50 kilograms of
  gold in order to be spared deportation. In the following display case\, w
 e see some of the receipts for the gold collected from individual families
 :  Although the community succeeded in collecting the requisite amount\, t
 he Nazis deported them anyway. During our last night in Rome\, we frequent
 ed one of the several kosher restaurants in the ghetto area. The waiter ki
 ndly offered to take our photo. It seems he couldn’t resist making it a 
 selfie!  The next day we were off to Florence. Stay tuned for our first ad
 ventures in la bella città! Cheryl la Cara e Rabbino Lorenzo 								\n

 			Blog #2: Visit to RomeMarch 1\, 2026Ciao\, from Rome! When we checked i
 nto our lovely hotel\, the staff welcomed us and invited us to have a welc
 ome drink.  We ordered an Aperol spritz (the national drink here) – and
  this is what arrived!  The next day\, we had a partial tour of the synago
 gue – partial\, because there was a Bar Mitzvah and we had to stay in a 
 corner of the sanctuary. However\, Lorenzo managed to catch this photo of 
 the group on the Bima:  The boy was chanting a prayer called Shir Hakavod 
 to a traditional melody – which will be familiar to Solelniks as the tun
 e we use for Ashrey!  We’ll have more to tell about the Great Synagogue
  of Rome in a future installment\, but this photo gives you an idea of the
  majestic interior. We then joined a guided tour of the Rome ghetto\, wher
 e Jews in the 16th century were forced to live. All of the community\, ri
 ch and poor\, were confined to a small area and had no access to building 
 materials.  As this photo shows\, they had to scrounge whatever was avail
 able from discarded debris:  There was no room in the ghetto to bury the d
 ead. After some lengthy negotiation\, the Rome officials granted a section
  of land to use as a cemetery. Today\, this area has become a rose garden 
 that bears some vestiges of Jewish presence – the first photo shows a st
 one dating back to ghetto times\, from which the present-day design of the
  garden walkways is fashioned.  Getting back to our favourite theme of foo
 d\, we happened to arrive during the “artichoke season.”  There are t
 wo ways they are prepared: Jewish and Roman.  The first are deep-fried an
 d the second are sautéed in olive oil – both are delicious!  We’ll le
 ave you with a photo this delicious Roman specialty salad called “mille 
 foglie.” Like mille feulle it is muti-layered: thin wafer-like crackers\
 , puttarella (chickory)\, burrata and anchovies.  Delicioso!  Combined wi
 th the two types of artichoke\, caccio e pepe and fine local wine\, it won
 ’t surprise you to learn that the next day we purchased a bathroom scale

DESCRIPTION:I Heart Market Street\, Old Town Toronto’s free urban park\,
  welcomes local musicians to our street stage\, located on Market Street\,
  just north of The Esplanade. (All performances are subject to cancellatio

 s series runs Tuesdays and Wednesdays\, 11:30am – 1:30pm\, and 5pm – 7
 pm\, until the end of September. \nArtist Bio: Anh Phung is a shining exam
 ple of the modern musician: as a child\, she earned her virtuosity while s
 weeping flute contests across Canada\, and has since used her mastery of t
 he flute as a compass to navigate countless styles of music\, constantly l
 earn new instruments and consistently deliver exciting performances. Not b
 othered by the conventions and standard limitations of the flute\, her pow
 erful musical voice steers her through everything from hip-hop to bluegras
 s to Bulgarian folk music\, and she is the leader of prog-rock tribute ban
 d Tullstars and performance art act Hairbrain. \nInstagram: @anh.t.phung

 , and finally a study in traditional lineages of folk puppetry in China (P
 hD). She concurrently tested this understanding through over 20 years of p

DESCRIPTION:Blog #5: RENAISSANCE FLORENCE – ART ANDRELIGIONMarch 30\, 20
 26Ciao\, I nostri amici! As we’ve been touring round the magnificent art
 \, especially the sculpture\, we’ve gained a deep appreciation of why Fl
 orence is considered to be the birthplace of the Renaissance. We’d like 
 to take you on a virtual tour to show how this new way of viewing the worl
 d developed. We begin with a statue of David\, sculpted by a young Donatel
 lo around 1408: He is posed like a victorious knight with the head of the 
 slain Goliath at his feet – more of a military figure than a religious o
 ne. This was Donatello’s first break with medieval classicism. He contin
 ued to make great strides by the time he sculpted his second David in 1440
 :  This David is the first freestanding nude\, with a confident\, relaxed 
 – and sensual – pose. The Florentines were now ready to enjoy the huma
 n body as beautiful rather than something dirty to be hidden. But even mor
 e is going on during this artistic transition. Take a look\, for example\,
  at Michelangelo’s David\, completed in 1440:  David carries his sling o
 ver his shoulder and grasps a stone in his hand\, ready to attack the Phil
 istine enemy. But as you admire the beauty of this statue\, does it seem t
 o depict a biblical youth? Or perhaps the perfect body of a Roman God? (By
  the way\, we must point out a flaw committed by both these artists: you
 ’ll notice that David isn’t circumcised!) So we see that Renaissance a
 rt often depicted a harmonious blend of Roman paganism with Christian reli
 gion. We see this also in an earlier sculpture by Michelangelo:  Is this D
 avid reaching for his sling\, or Apollo reaching for an arrow? Even art cr
 itics are divided on this question. We can also witness this blend in pain
 tings – for example\, this work by Boticelli\, titled “The Rite of Spr
 ing”:  Is the central figure\, with arms in welcoming gesture\, the godd
 ess Venus – or the Virgin Mary? In contemporary Italian Catholicism\, Ma
 ry is the major figure of worship rather than Jesus. To some people\, the 
 rituals of veneration toward Mary (e.g. crowning the head of her statue wi
 th laurels\, making votive requests for her to grant a wish) are more remi
 niscent of superstition than religion. However\, we found a different answ
 er in a church we visited on Palm Sunday:  When you enter many churches in
  Europe\, your first reaction is often “oh Wow!” as you’re overwhelm
 ed by their massive size\, elaborate architecture and vivid frescoes. In t
 his church\, however\, named the Basilica of San Miniato al Monte\, we wer
 e drawn in by what Cheryl described as an aura of solemnity. When we walke
 d in\, the monk was giving a sermon\, and then later baptised a baby:  We 
 learned that this basilica is a working monastery. To help support themsel
 ves\, the monks make all kinds of jams\, sweets and household items\, whic
 h they sell in the shop beside the church. While I (Larry) was in line at 
 the counter\, a young woman ahead of me completed her purchase and then as
 ked the monk to bless her. (No photo here\; you will need to imagine the s
 cene.). The monk\, dressed in an impeccably folded beige cowl\, stepped aw
 ay from the counter to face her. In silence\, he placed a gentle hand on h
 er forehead\, let it remain for a few moments\, and then made the sign of 
 the cross before her face. The woman\, in tears\, thanked the priest and s
 lowly walked away. Having watched from nearby\, I couldn’t help but thin
 k what a wonderful experience – more than this: a sacred encounter – t
 o know that you are blessed. Speaking of blessing\, we send our warmest wi
 shes to you for a joyous Pesach and Easter season. May this time bring ble
 ssing to you and your loved ones. Ciao\, Rabbino Lorenzo e Cherylissima (h
 er new name\, given by a dear friend\, along with a blessing!) 								\n

  LAST!March 19\, 2026Ciao\, I nostri amici! We settled into our apartment 
 in Florence\, dropped our luggage and then did our first shopping trip. He
 re’s Cheryl taking the shopping bags one by one up the stairs:       
    Wait\, that’s not all: there are a total of 83 steps to our apartmen
 t. But that’s OK: More stairs\, more pasta! Congregation Shir Hadash has
  been very warm and welcoming. Our first service was to celebrate Purim. M
 any people showed up in costume as we acted out the Book of Esther:  We ha
 ve visited some of our favourite haunts in this beautiful city. For exampl
 e\, Ponte Vecchio (“old bridge”)\, spanning the Arno River:  What make
 s this bridge unique is that it is lined with shops. Above them is a “se
 cret corridor” (with the windows) used by the Medici rulers to get from 
 the Pitti Palace to the government offices (now the Uffizi Gallery) on the
  other side of the river\, avoiding any enemies in wait. During World War 
 2\, it was the only bridge not bombed by the Germans. A story has it that 
 the pilot assigned this task took a look down at the bridge and couldn’t
  bring himself to destroy it. Lucky for the Florentines\, and for us! Whil
 e we stood admiring it\, a tourist offered to take our photo:  Although mo
 st Italians don’t know much about the Jewish population here\, Florentin
 es are certainly aware of the majestic Great Synagogue (Orthodox) that dom
 inates the skyline and is a popular tourist site:  In our neighbourhood\, 
 we noticed this street:  Nathan Cassuto was a Rabbi and Talmudic scholar i
 n the Florence community. He was deported to Auschwitz and was murdered in
  1945. There is a custom throughout several European countries to place a 
 brass “stumbling-stone” in front of the home of those deported to conc
 entration camps. We chanced upon Rabbi Cassuto’s stone on a walk through
  what was his neighbourhood:  We have seen a number of these in Florence. 
 Now to one of our favourite subjects: consumable delicacies. Determined to
  become renowned chefs\, we took a pasta making class.  And of course\, th
 e quest for the best gelateria continues. This one just might be the final
 ist – it’s called “Perché Non” (why not? – not a question Loren
 zo has to ask). Pictured here is Sarah\, a leader of the Shir Hadash commu
 nity.  That’s it for now – alla prossima\,Cara Cheryl e Rabbino Lorenz

 				Blog #3: Imperial RomeMarch 12\, 2026Ciao\, I nostri amici! We have be
 en in Florence for about two weeks\, but we still have some experiences to
  share about Rome. In this installment\, we’ll trace a brief history of 
 the ancient Romans – especially their relationship with the Jewish popul
 ation. First of all\, we learned that the Jewish population in Rome dates 
 back to the second century BCE. Both Julius Caesar and Augustus treated th
 e Jews well. That changed when Nero became Emperor in 54 CE. As a monument
  to the vast Roman empire\, he decided to build the Colosseum. It took tho
 usands of slaves to take part in this project — many of them Jewish slav
 es. This modern-day photo gives you an impression of its immense size:  Th
 e “events” took place on a stage that covered the full inner circle. U
 nderneath that stage were cells for the animals and gladiators. The “eve
 nts” took place in three stages: Animals vs. animals: one killing the ot
 herAnimals vs. gladiators: dittoGladiator vs. gladiator. When one of them 
 lay defeated on the ground (if he hadn’t already been killed)\, either t
 he Emperor or the crowd would vote “thumbs up” to spare his life or 
 “thumbs down” to instruct the victor to slay him.In short\, the Coloss
 eum\, intended to show the vast reach of Roman power\, was in essence an a
 rena of gore and death. (And we think hockey fans are bad!) It was also Ne
 ro’s way of keeping the masses entertained with “circuses and bread\,
 ” thus diverting them from making trouble. Things got even worse during 
 the second Jewish revolt from 66-70 CE. The Roman general Titus slaughtere
 d thousands of Jews\, and brought 50\,000 back to Rome as slaves. The Arch
  of Titus depicts the procession to Rome along with the Temple Menorah and
  holy artifacts:  The next Emperor in this story is Hadrian (117-138 CE). 
 Our guide Francesca took us to Tivoli\, just outside Rome\, where we toure
 d the luxurious villa where Hadrian made his home. Here is a scale model o
 f the estate\, which covered hundreds of hectares of land:  Located near t
 he centre was his “marina palace”:  As you can see\, it was surrounded
  by a moat to shelter him from his many enemies. Francesca told us that Ha
 drian was — and still is — admired as a brilliant architect and admini
 strator. What is less known among Italians is that he decimated Jerusalem 
 and renamed it Aelia Capitolina. He drove the Jewish inhabitants from the 
 city\, marking the beginning of the Jewish Diaspora. After all this histor
 y\, let’s pause for a brief refreshment:  Now we jump ahead several cent
 uries to more recent Roman history. While visiting the synagogue\, we lear
 ned that\, during the early stages of the Holocaust\, when the Nazis invad
 ed Rome\, they challenged the Jewish leadership to collect 50 kilograms of
  gold in order to be spared deportation. In the following display case\, w
 e see some of the receipts for the gold collected from individual families
 :  Although the community succeeded in collecting the requisite amount\, t
 he Nazis deported them anyway. During our last night in Rome\, we frequent
 ed one of the several kosher restaurants in the ghetto area. The waiter ki
 ndly offered to take our photo. It seems he couldn’t resist making it a 
 selfie!  The next day we were off to Florence. Stay tuned for our first ad
 ventures in la bella città! Cheryl la Cara e Rabbino Lorenzo 								\n

 			Blog #2: Visit to RomeMarch 1\, 2026Ciao\, from Rome! When we checked i
 nto our lovely hotel\, the staff welcomed us and invited us to have a welc
 ome drink.  We ordered an Aperol spritz (the national drink here) – and
  this is what arrived!  The next day\, we had a partial tour of the synago
 gue – partial\, because there was a Bar Mitzvah and we had to stay in a 
 corner of the sanctuary. However\, Lorenzo managed to catch this photo of 
 the group on the Bima:  The boy was chanting a prayer called Shir Hakavod 
 to a traditional melody – which will be familiar to Solelniks as the tun
 e we use for Ashrey!  We’ll have more to tell about the Great Synagogue
  of Rome in a future installment\, but this photo gives you an idea of the
  majestic interior. We then joined a guided tour of the Rome ghetto\, wher
 e Jews in the 16th century were forced to live. All of the community\, ri
 ch and poor\, were confined to a small area and had no access to building 
 materials.  As this photo shows\, they had to scrounge whatever was avail
 able from discarded debris:  There was no room in the ghetto to bury the d
 ead. After some lengthy negotiation\, the Rome officials granted a section
  of land to use as a cemetery. Today\, this area has become a rose garden 
 that bears some vestiges of Jewish presence – the first photo shows a st
 one dating back to ghetto times\, from which the present-day design of the
  garden walkways is fashioned.  Getting back to our favourite theme of foo
 d\, we happened to arrive during the “artichoke season.”  There are t
 wo ways they are prepared: Jewish and Roman.  The first are deep-fried an
 d the second are sautéed in olive oil – both are delicious!  We’ll le
 ave you with a photo this delicious Roman specialty salad called “mille 
 foglie.” Like mille feulle it is muti-layered: thin wafer-like crackers\
 , puttarella (chickory)\, burrata and anchovies.  Delicioso!  Combined wi
 th the two types of artichoke\, caccio e pepe and fine local wine\, it won
 ’t surprise you to learn that the next day we purchased a bathroom scale

DESCRIPTION:The Story of the Jewish People – An Ongoing Discussion\nwith
  Mark Goodman \nWednesdays\, September 16-December 31\, 11:00 am \nJewish 
 history is best understood as the story of a people shaped by myth\, memor
 y\, law\, custom\, migration\, adaptation\, and endurance across more than
  two millennia and six continents. From the biblical narratives of covenan
 t and exile\, rebuke and redemption\, to the post-biblical accounts shaped
  by recurring forces of persecution and emancipation\, catastrophe and ren
 ewal\, Jewish life has developed through constant interaction between inwa
 rd tradition and outward pressure. \nAt the center of Jewish history stand
 s a religious tradition built on covenant\, sacred law\, communal memory\,
  and interpretation. The biblical period establishes foundational themes: 
 the relationship between God and Israel\, the importance of Torah\, and th
 e repeated tension between faithfulness and disruption. After the destruct
 ion of the First and Second Temples\, Judaism increasingly became a tradit
 ion of text\, study\, and practice rather than one centred on a single sac
 red site. Rabbinic Judaism developed institutions\, commentaries\, and leg
 al frameworks that allowed Jewish identity to survive dispersion and lay t
 he groundwork for a culture built around language\, ritual\, education\, c
 alendar\, family life\, and community organization. At the same time\, Jew
 s in different regions developed distinctive cultural forms: Hebrew\, Aram
 aic\, Yiddish\, Ladino\, local liturgies\, and philosophical traditions. O
 ver time\, internal diversity became one of the defining features of Jewis
 h civilization. \nJewish history also involves the changing ways Jews orga
 nized themselves as communities and negotiated their place in larger polit
 ical systems. In antiquity\, Israelites moved from a tribal confederation 
 to monarchy\, exile\, and postexilic restoration. In later centuries\, Jew
 s lived under empires\, kingdoms\, caliphates\, city-states\, and modern n
 ation-states. Their legal status varied widely\, from relative autonomy to
  heavy restriction\, depending on time and place. \nEncounters with surrou
 nding peoples\, religions\, and states have always shaped them. These rela
 tions included both exchange and conflict. Jews lived among Babylonians\, 
 Persians\, Greeks\, Romans\, Christians\, Muslims\, and modern secular soc
 ieties\, and each setting produced distinctive patterns of coexistence and
  pressure. Sometimes Jews served as intermediaries in trade\, scholarship\
 , or administration\; at other times they were marginalized\, expelled\, f
 orced to convert\, or targeted by violence. \nThroughout all periods\, Jew
 ish history reflects both vulnerability and resilience in the face of chan
 ging external worlds. During the course of the program\, we will examine t
 he arc of the Jewish story\, gain an understanding of the challenges and r
 esponses\, and explore the relationship between our present-day existence 
 and that of past generations. Please join us on Wednesday at 11 am\, eithe
 r in person or on Zoom. \nREGISTER HERE TO JOIN US!  \nClick the links be

DESCRIPTION:Blog #5: RENAISSANCE FLORENCE – ART ANDRELIGIONMarch 30\, 20
 26Ciao\, I nostri amici! As we’ve been touring round the magnificent art
 \, especially the sculpture\, we’ve gained a deep appreciation of why Fl
 orence is considered to be the birthplace of the Renaissance. We’d like 
 to take you on a virtual tour to show how this new way of viewing the worl
 d developed. We begin with a statue of David\, sculpted by a young Donatel
 lo around 1408: He is posed like a victorious knight with the head of the 
 slain Goliath at his feet – more of a military figure than a religious o
 ne. This was Donatello’s first break with medieval classicism. He contin
 ued to make great strides by the time he sculpted his second David in 1440
 :  This David is the first freestanding nude\, with a confident\, relaxed 
 – and sensual – pose. The Florentines were now ready to enjoy the huma
 n body as beautiful rather than something dirty to be hidden. But even mor
 e is going on during this artistic transition. Take a look\, for example\,
  at Michelangelo’s David\, completed in 1440:  David carries his sling o
 ver his shoulder and grasps a stone in his hand\, ready to attack the Phil
 istine enemy. But as you admire the beauty of this statue\, does it seem t
 o depict a biblical youth? Or perhaps the perfect body of a Roman God? (By
  the way\, we must point out a flaw committed by both these artists: you
 ’ll notice that David isn’t circumcised!) So we see that Renaissance a
 rt often depicted a harmonious blend of Roman paganism with Christian reli
 gion. We see this also in an earlier sculpture by Michelangelo:  Is this D
 avid reaching for his sling\, or Apollo reaching for an arrow? Even art cr
 itics are divided on this question. We can also witness this blend in pain
 tings – for example\, this work by Boticelli\, titled “The Rite of Spr
 ing”:  Is the central figure\, with arms in welcoming gesture\, the godd
 ess Venus – or the Virgin Mary? In contemporary Italian Catholicism\, Ma
 ry is the major figure of worship rather than Jesus. To some people\, the 
 rituals of veneration toward Mary (e.g. crowning the head of her statue wi
 th laurels\, making votive requests for her to grant a wish) are more remi
 niscent of superstition than religion. However\, we found a different answ
 er in a church we visited on Palm Sunday:  When you enter many churches in
  Europe\, your first reaction is often “oh Wow!” as you’re overwhelm
 ed by their massive size\, elaborate architecture and vivid frescoes. In t
 his church\, however\, named the Basilica of San Miniato al Monte\, we wer
 e drawn in by what Cheryl described as an aura of solemnity. When we walke
 d in\, the monk was giving a sermon\, and then later baptised a baby:  We 
 learned that this basilica is a working monastery. To help support themsel
 ves\, the monks make all kinds of jams\, sweets and household items\, whic
 h they sell in the shop beside the church. While I (Larry) was in line at 
 the counter\, a young woman ahead of me completed her purchase and then as
 ked the monk to bless her. (No photo here\; you will need to imagine the s
 cene.). The monk\, dressed in an impeccably folded beige cowl\, stepped aw
 ay from the counter to face her. In silence\, he placed a gentle hand on h
 er forehead\, let it remain for a few moments\, and then made the sign of 
 the cross before her face. The woman\, in tears\, thanked the priest and s
 lowly walked away. Having watched from nearby\, I couldn’t help but thin
 k what a wonderful experience – more than this: a sacred encounter – t
 o know that you are blessed. Speaking of blessing\, we send our warmest wi
 shes to you for a joyous Pesach and Easter season. May this time bring ble
 ssing to you and your loved ones. Ciao\, Rabbino Lorenzo e Cherylissima (h

  LAST!March 19\, 2026Ciao\, I nostri amici! We settled into our apartment 
 in Florence\, dropped our luggage and then did our first shopping trip. He
 re’s Cheryl taking the shopping bags one by one up the stairs:       
    Wait\, that’s not all: there are a total of 83 steps to our apartmen
 t. But that’s OK: More stairs\, more pasta! Congregation Shir Hadash has
  been very warm and welcoming. Our first service was to celebrate Purim. M
 any people showed up in costume as we acted out the Book of Esther:  We ha
 ve visited some of our favourite haunts in this beautiful city. For exampl
 e\, Ponte Vecchio (“old bridge”)\, spanning the Arno River:  What make
 s this bridge unique is that it is lined with shops. Above them is a “se
 cret corridor” (with the windows) used by the Medici rulers to get from 
 the Pitti Palace to the government offices (now the Uffizi Gallery) on the
  other side of the river\, avoiding any enemies in wait. During World War 
 2\, it was the only bridge not bombed by the Germans. A story has it that 
 the pilot assigned this task took a look down at the bridge and couldn’t
  bring himself to destroy it. Lucky for the Florentines\, and for us! Whil
 e we stood admiring it\, a tourist offered to take our photo:  Although mo
 st Italians don’t know much about the Jewish population here\, Florentin
 es are certainly aware of the majestic Great Synagogue (Orthodox) that dom
 inates the skyline and is a popular tourist site:  In our neighbourhood\, 
 we noticed this street:  Nathan Cassuto was a Rabbi and Talmudic scholar i
 n the Florence community. He was deported to Auschwitz and was murdered in
  1945. There is a custom throughout several European countries to place a 
 brass “stumbling-stone” in front of the home of those deported to conc
 entration camps. We chanced upon Rabbi Cassuto’s stone on a walk through
  what was his neighbourhood:  We have seen a number of these in Florence. 
 Now to one of our favourite subjects: consumable delicacies. Determined to
  become renowned chefs\, we took a pasta making class.  And of course\, th
 e quest for the best gelateria continues. This one just might be the final
 ist – it’s called “Perché Non” (why not? – not a question Loren
 zo has to ask). Pictured here is Sarah\, a leader of the Shir Hadash commu
 nity.  That’s it for now – alla prossima\,Cara Cheryl e Rabbino Lorenz

 				Blog #3: Imperial RomeMarch 12\, 2026Ciao\, I nostri amici! We have be
 en in Florence for about two weeks\, but we still have some experiences to
  share about Rome. In this installment\, we’ll trace a brief history of 
 the ancient Romans – especially their relationship with the Jewish popul
 ation. First of all\, we learned that the Jewish population in Rome dates 
 back to the second century BCE. Both Julius Caesar and Augustus treated th
 e Jews well. That changed when Nero became Emperor in 54 CE. As a monument
  to the vast Roman empire\, he decided to build the Colosseum. It took tho
 usands of slaves to take part in this project — many of them Jewish slav
 es. This modern-day photo gives you an impression of its immense size:  Th
 e “events” took place on a stage that covered the full inner circle. U
 nderneath that stage were cells for the animals and gladiators. The “eve
 nts” took place in three stages: Animals vs. animals: one killing the ot
 herAnimals vs. gladiators: dittoGladiator vs. gladiator. When one of them 
 lay defeated on the ground (if he hadn’t already been killed)\, either t
 he Emperor or the crowd would vote “thumbs up” to spare his life or 
 “thumbs down” to instruct the victor to slay him.In short\, the Coloss
 eum\, intended to show the vast reach of Roman power\, was in essence an a
 rena of gore and death. (And we think hockey fans are bad!) It was also Ne
 ro’s way of keeping the masses entertained with “circuses and bread\,
 ” thus diverting them from making trouble. Things got even worse during 
 the second Jewish revolt from 66-70 CE. The Roman general Titus slaughtere
 d thousands of Jews\, and brought 50\,000 back to Rome as slaves. The Arch
  of Titus depicts the procession to Rome along with the Temple Menorah and
  holy artifacts:  The next Emperor in this story is Hadrian (117-138 CE). 
 Our guide Francesca took us to Tivoli\, just outside Rome\, where we toure
 d the luxurious villa where Hadrian made his home. Here is a scale model o
 f the estate\, which covered hundreds of hectares of land:  Located near t
 he centre was his “marina palace”:  As you can see\, it was surrounded
  by a moat to shelter him from his many enemies. Francesca told us that Ha
 drian was — and still is — admired as a brilliant architect and admini
 strator. What is less known among Italians is that he decimated Jerusalem 
 and renamed it Aelia Capitolina. He drove the Jewish inhabitants from the 
 city\, marking the beginning of the Jewish Diaspora. After all this histor
 y\, let’s pause for a brief refreshment:  Now we jump ahead several cent
 uries to more recent Roman history. While visiting the synagogue\, we lear
 ned that\, during the early stages of the Holocaust\, when the Nazis invad
 ed Rome\, they challenged the Jewish leadership to collect 50 kilograms of
  gold in order to be spared deportation. In the following display case\, w
 e see some of the receipts for the gold collected from individual families
 :  Although the community succeeded in collecting the requisite amount\, t
 he Nazis deported them anyway. During our last night in Rome\, we frequent
 ed one of the several kosher restaurants in the ghetto area. The waiter ki
 ndly offered to take our photo. It seems he couldn’t resist making it a 
 selfie!  The next day we were off to Florence. Stay tuned for our first ad
 ventures in la bella città! Cheryl la Cara e Rabbino Lorenzo 								\n

 			Blog #2: Visit to RomeMarch 1\, 2026Ciao\, from Rome! When we checked i
 nto our lovely hotel\, the staff welcomed us and invited us to have a welc
 ome drink.  We ordered an Aperol spritz (the national drink here) – and
  this is what arrived!  The next day\, we had a partial tour of the synago
 gue – partial\, because there was a Bar Mitzvah and we had to stay in a 
 corner of the sanctuary. However\, Lorenzo managed to catch this photo of 
 the group on the Bima:  The boy was chanting a prayer called Shir Hakavod 
 to a traditional melody – which will be familiar to Solelniks as the tun
 e we use for Ashrey!  We’ll have more to tell about the Great Synagogue
  of Rome in a future installment\, but this photo gives you an idea of the
  majestic interior. We then joined a guided tour of the Rome ghetto\, wher
 e Jews in the 16th century were forced to live. All of the community\, ri
 ch and poor\, were confined to a small area and had no access to building 
 materials.  As this photo shows\, they had to scrounge whatever was avail
 able from discarded debris:  There was no room in the ghetto to bury the d
 ead. After some lengthy negotiation\, the Rome officials granted a section
  of land to use as a cemetery. Today\, this area has become a rose garden 
 that bears some vestiges of Jewish presence – the first photo shows a st
 one dating back to ghetto times\, from which the present-day design of the
  garden walkways is fashioned.  Getting back to our favourite theme of foo
 d\, we happened to arrive during the “artichoke season.”  There are t
 wo ways they are prepared: Jewish and Roman.  The first are deep-fried an
 d the second are sautéed in olive oil – both are delicious!  We’ll le
 ave you with a photo this delicious Roman specialty salad called “mille 
 foglie.” Like mille feulle it is muti-layered: thin wafer-like crackers\
 , puttarella (chickory)\, burrata and anchovies.  Delicioso!  Combined wi
 th the two types of artichoke\, caccio e pepe and fine local wine\, it won
 ’t surprise you to learn that the next day we purchased a bathroom scale

DESCRIPTION:TO A FLAME is an explosive theatrical feast of image and langu
 age that pulls the audience deep into a Victorian Gothic Horror. Three con
 fined women await the conclusion of their story in the ancestral home of t
 he man they call Father. Secrets burn to be revealed\, aches of the past r
 efuse to be suppressed and the very house itself vibrates with desire for 
 revenge.\n\nThis groundbreaking work intertwines American Sign Language an
 d English with vibrant movement and live music into a haunting\, multi-sen
 sory performance for Deaf and hearing audiences. Featuring celebrated Deaf
  performer and cultural leader Dawn Jani Birley\, internationally-renowned
  director Josette Bushell-Mingo\, and vivid text by Governor General Award
 -winning playwright Erin Shields\, with the support of the company\, this 
 theatrical experience is not to be missed.\n\ncost: $15 to $65 (plus fees 
 & taxes) at Nightwood Theatre\n\nmore info: Nightwood Theatre
