Hello. I would love a copy of the calendar. My great grandparents were Rahamin Huniu and Leah Huniu, from Rhodes. My grandparents were Diamontie and Albert Arditty. They came to Los Angeles. Thank you very much. Grace Benveniste (Oakland, California)

Thanks Rita. We are always interested in collecting more old photos and items to be used for future calendars, and for display in the museum. People sharing these items like you is what makes the museum so personal and special.

Aron. We have enjoyed our yearly calendar for many years now & was wondering if you would be interested or in need of new pictures of Rodes prior to 1928 when my father Joseph David Franco left Rhodes for Italy & soon after for the Belgian Congo?

Besides being from the Franco family, we are closely related to Amatos, Alhadeff’s, Piha’s & even you!

I also have items that my grandmother made- like a shawl with gold embroidered edges.
Let me know & thanks for all you have done to create & maintain the Jewish Museum.
Rita

Are the Rhodes calendars still available? I just discovered your website. My husband’s father’s family was from Rhodes. We went with our children to Rhodes with the cruise ship one year and showed them the synagogue, their grandfather’s pharmacy, the house in the new city and the house in the old city. His last name is Menasce. Thank you for keeping the news of Rhodes alive for everyone scattered around the world.

I would like to order a calendar as my parents both came from Rhodes and we still have links with Rhodes as my father and my uncle managed to keep the house in their names, the house in the old city,has been in our family for quite a few generations. Thanks.

I have been doing research of my family history recently. My family who lived on Rhodes were Rachel Arogeti, Samuel and Rachel Surmani, Jacob and Bulica Pizanti, and many more. I would love to obtain a Rhodesli calendar.

Hello staff. In May 2008, my husband and I were on a tour, and one of the ships stops was Rhodes. Although the tour guide, to my surprise, did not even refer to or take us to the Kahal Synagogue, I took myself there immediately after the tour was over. What a wonderful surpise and delight greeted me. I spent several hours reading all I could, and photographing the fantastic exhibit items, the various rooms,the wall plagues and shul interior. I felt very enriched and privileged to be there.It really filled in the missing insight that I did not receive… Read more »

I went on a Greek cruise to island of Rhodes. I hired a private tour guide to take me to the Jewish quarters where I visited Kahal Shalom Synagogue. I was fascinated to learn the history of the Jewish people on Rhodes. Then we visited the Jewish cemetery. It is very important for Jewish all over the world to stay connected. I bought a lovely Jewish star with an opal chumsa and a book called A guidebook to the Jewish Quarter of Rhodes. I was not there on a Friday so I missed going to a Shabbat service.

Dear friends, I am in Uruguay: I would like to have all the publications you can send me, I am trying to teach Ladino lenguage to a population of adults that have forgotten the way of speaking from the grandparents, but get very emotional when I make them closer a little bit of it. I am most interested to know more about our past, from where in Spain were they living? is it possible my father`s family came from Italy? because of the Counio, Kounyo, Counyo, Cuneo last name? Thank you all for the good job, congratulations.

Aron,
Thanks so very much for the calendar and all that you do. I was at the Kahal Shalom temple this past July for a Bat Mitzvah. My aunt Flora (Capeluto) Danon’s great granddaughter had her Bat Mitzvah there. Their were over 168 “cousins” from all over the world came to Rhodes for the Bat Mitzvah and for the family get together. The Temple and museum look great. I noticed my aunt Flora’s wedding dress in the museum. Please keep up the wonderful work that you do.

Rhodes is a treasure on an island. In 2004 I was particularly excited when our cruise ship landed there since I had friends dating back to 1935 whose mother hailed from Rhodes prior to WWII. The family name was Benatar and the mother (maiden name Olga Benatar) always spoke of Rhodes. The museum was a delightful surprise and I found the name Benatar noted on a board and also a family photo of a Benatar family. My husband and I spent many hours there and listened to a great lecture by an elderly gentleman. I took many photos of the… Read more »
