Three days in Prague. Autumn. This city boasts of countless spires and towers concentrated in the inner districts where the sidewalks are covered in mosaic and cobblestone.

I observe the capacity for resistance some people have, who, ‘in spite of everything’, want to live under this shadow, directly under it; but there is much more than this to be said on the matter), or especially when I see parents with their children; forsaken, moreover, not only here but in general, even in Prague, my ‘home’, and, what is more, forsaken not by people (that would not be the worst thing, I could run after them as long as I was alive), but rather by myself vis-à-vis people, by my strength vis-à-vis people; I am fond of lovers but I cannot love, I am too far away, am banished, have – since I am human after all and my roots want nourishment – my proxies ‘down’ (or up) there too, sorry, unsatisfactory comedians who can satisfy me (though indeed they don’t satisfy me at all and it is for this reason that I am so forsaken) only because I get my principal nourishment from other roots in other climes, these roots too are sorry ones, but nevertheless better able to sustain life. — Franz Kafka

Jewish Section October 22, 2023 Hope Cemetery Worcester, Massachusetts

I was surprised by how close together the graves in the Jewish section were compared to the rest of the cemetery.

What does "Go to bed. Go to school. Go to hell." mean or what are the origins of that quote?

oh, simply a way to summarize the feeling of giving away years after years those precious inner pathways, nerve imprints, dreamful moss, in exchange for a sad narrowness, sweaty bread, harsh dust... and spare myself a new title every week-end or so with the roman numbers, because these series take place going to, at, or coming back from work... and the phrase can be properly twisted in a few righter of wrongs meanings...

(I mean the fine parts of legitimate self being repeatedly, on an engineered basis, banned, crashed, gutted, so wearing an utilitarian mask madness machines with candid phrases can continue to extend vicious negation, verify their endgame monopole while selling atom roots and rooms to mimic flesh dimensions. In the relative run one become sick giving shoulders and breathe - throwing the best energy while time dreadfully lack - so the global swarming isolation can better install its goons and gears.)

#solving dichotomy and cells diaspora simply walking with a pocket cam #new path after so many months at the same excruciating place: a 1h dull boulevard but 5m of woods for starter plus the old Jewish cemetery #wanting to suggest all this those nine words catched me #thanks for the ramp and sorry for the rant #comments

Old tombstones from the Jewish Cemetery in Chios on display in a museum, Greece, ca. 1980

According to Josephus, Yevanic-speaking Jews lived in Chios in ancient times, mostly as Roman slaves. After 1492, Sephardic exiles from Iberia ultimately became the Jewish majority group in Chios, mixing with the already prospered Romaniote, Italqi and Ashkenazi communities. Common occupations for Jews of the time were the making of silk garments, weaving, wine production, and olive and fig farming. They were also involved with the production of the islands' most valuable commodity, mastic. For many centuries, the Jewish life was thriving under the Ottoman Empire alongside, and in harmony with their Greek Christian and Turkish Muslim communities. Everything changed with the start of a chain of wars taking place in the region: the Greek War of Independence, the Ottoman Massacre of Chios, the First Balkan War, the Greco-Turkish War, and finally the Second World War, which effectively ended the long and rich Jewish history of the island.

Jewish joy is receiving a message through Ancestry.com from a distant cousin who has managed to trace a branch of your family tree.

they have old photos from the 1800s and everything!

and before this, your knowledge of the family began and ended with the great-grandparents, in America. you could never trace them across the sea.

and here they are, in 1880s black and white, in diaspora in Lithuania, near the border with Poland. just a decade or so before they escaped to England, and then America, because the antisemitism there wasn't as dangerous as what was growing in Eastern Europe.

and their surname ties them to a Jewish diaspora town in Germany.

in the 1300s, the Holy Roman Empire murdered nearly all the Jews in that town because Christians made up conspiracy theories about the Jews spreading the bubonic plague.

but a few Jews survived. including your ancestors.

their surname also ties them to Jews living in Italy in the early Middle Ages. and through genealogy and studying Jewish forced migrations, you can trace them to Jews who were brought as captives to Italy from Jerusalem. and it turns out there is a whole genetic genealogy project on that branch of your family tree.

you see, your ancestors were among the Jews who *gave* that town in Germany its name. your ancestors named that town.

and ... and that town in Germany, it still exists. the town that your Jewish ancestors gave their surname to. in the 1940s, the Nazis murdered the Jews who remained there.

only one single Jew in that town survived the Holocaust.

after WWII, the Germans wanted to pave over the old synagogue and put in a parking lot. (you can't make this shit up!!)

but now, there is a tiny community of Jews who have moved there. there is a new Synagogue. a new mikvah. they have restored the Jewish cemetery there.

and yet for how long? how long before all the Jews in that German town are murdered again? how long before the Jewish cemetery is desecrated again? how long before the synagogue is burned down?

Jewish joy is always mixed with Jewish sadness.

when we find our people, we also find tragedy.

and yet. we have to keep looking for the joy.

because we are Jewish. because we love who we are. because being Jewish means learning to laugh through tears.

because being Jewish brings us joy.
