Kvarim Trip 5768: Kiev, Berditchev, Annipoli

2008.09.17
There are storks in northern Ukraine. I'm always looking for them, but the closest I came is this fake one, high above a wayside restaurant! :-(

Ascending the stairs in this Kiev synagogue, we were amazed to see a photo on canvas depicting our old shul in Simferopol! I guess they were only missing something from Simferopol!



Babushka reading gazette in women's balcony.

Study in contrasts.



No self-respecting CIS-er will sit on the floor. Two reasons -- to keep clothing clean, and... to prevent catching a cold in your tushie! They can squat like this, feet flat on the ground, for hours!

Our driver stopped to buy these bunches of leaves, which are use in the bathhouse.


Cemetery in Berditchev



Keper of the keys to the gravesite of Rabbi Levi Yitzchok of Berditchev. He always has interesting stories to relate.





Together forever... grave of the Mezeritcher Maggid reflected on that of R' Zusia of Annipoli.
