 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

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

 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
 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:Black Rabbit Gallery presents Origin\, a solo exhibition by To
 ronto-based Canadian figurative painter Daniella Williams\, on view Septem
 ber 10 through October 8\, 2026. \nOrigin marks a shift in Williams’ ong
 oing exploration of observation\, intimacy and the act of looking\, expand
 ing her inquiry into how we experience ourselves through our relationships
  to others and to the world around us. \nTurning toward the natural world\
 , the exhibition considers what might emerge when the body is released fro
 m the pressures of being seen. Across the works\, figures move through ope
 n spaces\, shared moments and natural environments\, becoming increasingly
  immersed in the landscapes they inhabit. \nThe exhibition marks Black Rab
 bit Gallery’s first solo artist presentation following its inaugural exh
 ibition\, No Paths\, Just Moves. \nOpening Reception: Thursday\, September

DESCRIPTION:It’s a place to start over. It’s a place where we haven’
 t committed acts of genocide against each other. There’s been no pain th
 ere. No wars. No greed. No murder. There are no gods\, no men to rule us\,
  no animals to kill. No history of hurting one another.” \nIn the near f
 uture\, Cassie returns from a year-long moon mission alone. Her usual comp
 anion\, her sister Stella\, is waiting for her on an environmental reserve
  with her new fiancé. Time forces the sisters to choose between life on E
 arth or pursuing a future in space\, as the Earth dies and humanity’s fa
 te hangs in the balance. Walden is a moving and poetic new play that wrest
 les between the gravitational pulls of duty and desire.  \nNOMINEE – JO

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

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
  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
 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
