"the man!"

Hi sedusa, good ot have ya aboard. A few other members have posted about being Jewish in Spain before and the threads did not generate much interest  Here is a related thread... � Racism in Spain???? (the Jewish theme starts about half way down the thread with "lulu81"). My mom was bornin Tel Aviv and lived there until she was 10 but I was not brought up religious AT ALL so I have not really been in touch with the "Jewish Madrid". I do have a friend/business aquantance named Alex who is a Spanish Jew, fluent in Spanish, English, Itialian, Hebrew and a few more languages and if you like I can get some info from him on this subject, he is a really nice guy and is always looking to help out people who want to know about this. quote: "And if you know of any Tall single Jewish men who don't smoke, pass them this way!!"
Sorry, he is a bit on the short side & married with a new baby   Saludos, jer... p.d. Man do I miss my mom's Matzoh Ball Soup

In college, my non-Christian friends (Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist) loved Christmas because working that day would earn them double or triple time...a great way to help take a dent out of the next semester's tuition bill! :jeje: :jeje:

Hi there, How was your "Christmas season"? I know that there are two synagoges in Madrid; I think that one is Conservative and one Orthedox. They are listed in the English ex-pat press (The Broadsheet, In-Madrid, etc.). If you are still in Madrid, visiting these should lead you to meet lots of nice Jewish people. There seem to be several American executives here who are Jewish...one is a friend of mine and one is an ex-boss. Also, I've read that there is even a jewish school in Madrid that may begin to be subsidised by the Government soon which would make it quite reasonable! Good luck!  |

Hi all, Have been reading this thread and the one Jer referred to in this thread. Good to know about the vegetarian restaraunts... Can anyone tell me where the main synagogue in Madrid is? I will be arriving in Madrid at the beginning of October, and a few days after that is Yom Kippur (day of atonement), which as y'all (might) know, is one of the biggies of the Jewish calendar. And if anybody out there has had any contact with the local Jewish community, I would appreciate the info. thanks had to say this again: GREAT site! GREAT board ! (job satisfaction - there's nothing like it, right Jer?) Jude |
