Today in Seattle Washington Joseph Natan Hasson was laid to rest. I was proud to shake his hand every Shabbat at Ezra Bessaroth a Rhodesli synagogue located in Seattle. He was a hero of mine.

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen: The Friday evening Shabbat service of November 12, 2010, at Temple Beth Shalom in San Juan, Puerto Rico will be a rededication of the congregation’s Holocaust Torah, linking it to the destroyed Jewish community of Jihlava, in the former state of Checoslovakia.

The evening’s program will include a listing of Holocaust victims related to our members. To commemorate the adoption of the town of Jihlava as the symbolic home of our Holocaust Torah, a richly detailed history of the Jewish community of Jihlava from the 14th century to its destruction during the Holocaust years, as well as the story of how the scroll came to our congregation, is to be published.

The book will feature photographs of the rabbis and members of TBSPR holding the Torah, participating in its unwinding on Simhat Torah and reading from the scroll. The names of family members lost in the Shoa will also be listed. A copy of this monograph will be placed in the temple library.

Please send a list of our Rhodesli martyrs to my email for timely inclusion in this project.

Cordially,
Moisés Hernández Amateau (Amato)

I am so glad I found your new website. It is really, really nice and so informative. When I look through the portraits I am saddened, yet so proud of the courage of the Jewish population of Rhodes. May our Lord bless you and your progeny. May all of their souls rest in peace.

The design of your website, with the additional informaiton is fabulous – as are the recipes – simply great!! Congratulations and thank you! Shalom.

My uncle Bohor Habib and his family was deported from Rhodes. No one survived. The pictures of the survivors are very moving. Many years ago I met Jo (Peppo) Malel in Rhodes by chance. Could you tell me if he is still alive and how I can get in touch with him. I know he lived in Italy. I have some information to ask him. (I am the son of Vitali Habib and he knew my father). Thank you. Avram Habib (Hayli)
