Florentine Jews found a new spiritual home in this impressive synagogue, after the ghetto, that had locked the Jews in for three centuries, was torn down in the 19th century. The Jewish ghetto was located near to where Piazza della Repubblica is situated today. It consisted of a vast maze of alleys, buildings and houses that grew taller and taller over the centuries due to lack of space.
In the second half of the 19th century the city counsel decided it was time to open the gates of the ghetto and demolish the dilapidated blocks of houses. With the unification of Italy, the Jews were given Italian citizenship and they were finally allowed to live in a location of their own choosing.
A new Jewish neighborhood emerged just north of Via dei Pilastri and with that a new synagogue was needed.
The construction of the synagogue, designed by Marco Treves, was in large part financed by David Levi, an important member of the local Jewish community. In just six years the construction of the synagogue was completed and the temple opened its doors in 1882.
I visited the synagogue under the expert guidance of the Jewish city guide Francesca Rachel Valle, who attends the weekly service herself and therefore knows all about her temple, the Jewish faith and the history of the Jewish community in Florence.
The building is an interesting mix of architectural styles and Moorish and Florentine influences are clearly recognizable. Striking is the large green dome that clearly stands out in the Florentine skyline.The dome is made of red copper but over the years it turned green due to oxidation and as a result it stands in beautiful contrast with the other red domes of the city.
In contrast to the exterior of the building, which is decorated in soft colors, the amount of color that comes at you upon entering is simply overwhelming. Every centimeter of the interior is decorated with a geometric pattern painted in bright red, blue and yellow that creates a warm and exotic atmosphere. The design of the synagogue however is very similar to that of a Christian church with its cross shape consisting of nave and transept.
During WWII, the Nazis used the synagogue as a garage to store their cars and motorcycles. When the troops retreated north in 1944, they tried to blow up the building but fortunately only a portion of the wall on the right side was destroyed and the rest of the building was spared.
More than 20 years later in 1966, during the last big flood of Florence the water level in the synagogue rose up to several meters high and even a thorough cleaning could not prevent that in several places a dark line remained imprinted on the painted walls. Unfortunately dozens of precious and priceless Torahs were lost due to water damage and they were buried in the cemetery according to Jewish tradition.
The Jewish Museum located on the two upper floors of the synagogue provides a wealth of information about the history of the Florentine Jews, Jewish faith and religious celebrations such as the Sabbath. It holds a large collection of Jewish religious and ceremonial objects including a Torah handwritten on parchment that according religious regulations should be made only from the skin of a kosher bovine.
The synagogue is surrounded by a large garden with exotic plants including a couple of pomegranate trees that were brought over from Israel. The pomegranate is traditionally eaten during the Jewish New Year celebration. A prominent spot in the garden is reserved for the memorial wall with the names of the Florentine Jews that were deported by the Nazis in WWII and never returned.
Our guide Francesca spoke with much passion about her temple and seamlessly alternated historical facts with her own personal stories. She told us how she celebrates Friday night with her daughter while her Catholic husband eats his dinner out with friends and how the mandatory rest during the Sabbath complicates her life sometimes because it is not allowed to conduct any kind of activity Friday after sunset. Which means for example that she has to prepare food for two days, but it also means that she is not allowed to press the stop button in the bus on her way to the synagogue and it often happens that she has to walk several stops back because nobody got off at her stop.
Frankly, I didn't know much about the Jewish faith but thanks to guide Francesca, I have learned a lot about a very interesting piece of Florentine history and about one of the major world religions.
Ignorance leads to lack of understanding and intolerance and personally I find it far more interesting to explore the similarities between religions than to emphasize the differences.
The synagogue is open for visitors from Sunday to Friday; take notice that for security reasons it is not permitted to take metal objects inside, that includes mobile phones and cameras. Carriers of pacemakers and pregnant women are also not allowed inside the metal detector. There are lockers available to store bags securely. More information on the website of the synagogue.

During the last week of February, some of the most dedicated and friendly members of the education community descended on EDexpo in Atlanta, Georgia.
Teachers, store owners, and vendors from around the world attend this annual event to learn about the latest teaching trends and to preview the newest educational products.
I was there to host an information session on "How to Speak Common Core" for sellers who carry Common Core products, and to create a Top Products Pinterest Board showcasing some of the toys, tools, and resources from the show.
The English Language Arts Products I Loved
#1 Exploring Nonfiction Cards by Edupress
These cards are not only visually stunning, but they are chock full of engaging content. The 24 grade-level, core-aligned readings (which include all 5 nonfiction structures) are followed by discussion-worthy comprehension questions, text-dependent writing prompts, and academic vocabulary activities. These cards are currently available for grades 2-6. I plan to use them in K-12 workshops since the content is universally appealing. I hope Edupress considers creating similar sets for primary and secondary grades.
Note: The Exploring Nonfiction Cards also received an Eddy Award – a distinction reserved for the top three products of the year.
#2 Stella Writes Series by SDE Resources
The Stella Writes Series, written by Janiel Wagstaff, is a set of K-2 picture books which entertain students while teaching the fundamentals of opinion, informative, and narrative writing. The half literature and half writing manual format equals a whole lot of fun for young readers and writers. Each writing genre is presented through the eyes of an enthusiastic second grader named Stella.
Note: One of my favorite parts of the opinion book is the hand-written rough draft that is included at the end of the story followed by another draft which is labeled "I made a few changes. Can you find them?" Brilliant.
#3 High-Interest Mini Mysteries by RP Publications
I don't know about you, but I have always been a sucker for a good mystery. I used to schedule Solve-A-Crime Fridays to sharpen my students' abilities to make inferences. My middle schoolers couldn't get enough of them! But the materials in this High-Interest Mini-Mystery Binder take inferring to the next level. Each mystery is paired with an informational text, designed to build students' knowledge (e.g. a map and image of the story's setting is included in the nonfiction text). What I love about the format is that these are the kind of paired texts that hook struggling readers and challenge proficient ones.
Note: The reading levels of the 28 units range from 2nd to 6th grades, but the interest levels range from 2nd through high school.
Visit my Pinterest site to view more amazing products from the show here:
Bloggers' Choice Products
For the second year in a row, 50 teacher bloggers were recruited and flown in for the event. Their job was to compile a master list of 10 Best-in-Show products after visiting the new product pavilion, examining hundreds of educational resources, and talking to product designers. Angie Olson – the owner of the Lucky Little Learners blog – posted the final list here.
If you ever get a chance to attend an EDexpo event, be sure to do it. It is one of the classiest venues I've ever experienced.
Share Point: Okay, now here are two questions for you:
1.Which new product would have been your #1 choice for top product of the year? and/or
2. Give us a link to a product that is your #1 favorite (e.g.Shop Bell: http://amzn.to/18GAOaM).
Local Teacher Stores: Find Edmarket Dealers near you here: http://www.edmarketdealer.com/search/local/
Until next time…stay committed…teach with passion…and inspire students with who you are.

Mont St Michel is one of the most picturesque historical sights to see in France. Medieval Mont St Michel abbey famously perches on top of a rocky island near the coasts of Normandy and Brittany. This UNESCO World Cultural Heritage listed site is hugely popular and always busy. The Romanesque-Gothic abbey complex is absolutely worth seeing but most of the other museums on the island are of little real interest. The restaurants and shops are pure tourist traps and few would regret eating elsewhere. Hiking around the island on the mudflats is very popular too and afford fantastic views. All visitors arrive at the island either by walking or on the free shuttle buses.
Mont St Michel is a small island off the coast of Normandy and Brittany that is most famous for its magnificent Romanesque-Gothic abbey buildings. Annually, around 2.5 million people visit Mont St Michel of whom around half visit the abbey complex as well.
Mont St Michel is a fortified island – once through the admission gates, a single steep road leads up past the tiny village to the abbey complex at the top of the rock. In this street – Grand Rue – are endless tourism-related shops selling souvenirs and overpriced food. A few small museums and attractions are hardly worth entering.
Despite the crowds, the tiny village and especially the abbey are well worth visiting. The crowded Grand Rue can be avoided by using the walkways on the ramparts – with magnificent views – to head up to the abbey. Either way, expect loads of stairs and steep gradients.

Following the tragic death of former UFC heavyweight Tim Hague in 2017, combat sports were banned for a year in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, leaving many fighters to have to wait in order to get an opportunity to compete again. Among those caught up in the ban was bantamweight Michael Hay.
After picking up two wins to kick off his 2017, Hay has been on the sidelines waiting for the ban's year-long timeframe to expire before he could get back to action.
"I've been coaching, teaching, and I've been doing everything I can to stay busy," Hay told MMAWeekly.com. "I've been waiting to see what happens with the MMA scene here with the ban, but things are back on track right now. I've got my eyes looking forward and I'm staying positive about it.
"There are missed opportunities and missed times, but it just means that there will be different opportunities and different times to be able to showcase yourself and go out there and perform. I'm ready to go right now."
When Hay does return to action, he feels he'll be sharper in the mental aspect of his game, which he expects to show through in big ways moving forward.
"I feel like I've matured a lot mentally over the last year," said Hay. "I had to take some time off from training to deal with some injures and stuff like that, and it made me have to mentally train myself.
"When you can't focus on physical things, you've got to focus on your brain and the processes of fighting. I feel like I've matured a lot mentally, and it's given me a good chance to evaluate everything in my mind."
On Friday in Enoch, Alberta, Canada, Hay (5-1) will return to action for the first time in over a year when he faces Jamie Siraj (5-2) in a main card 135-pound championship bout at Unified MMA 35.
TRENDING > Dana White Lays Out Worst-Case Scenario for Khabib Nurmagomedov
"He's well-rounded, so good it's good to test myself everywhere," Hay said of Siraj. "I'm looking forward to going out there and showing off some of my skills. With all the quick finishes (I've had) sometimes you just get warmed up and the fight's over, so it'd be nice to go out there and move around a little bit."
Finally able to get back to fighting, Hay is looking to make up for lost time and have the most productive year of his career in 2019.
"I take it fight by fight, but after having the time off I've had, I'm looking to have a big 2019," said Hay. "In terms of what I'm looking to get done: I'm looking to win this title here, defend the title, and get a few good notches for me.
"Hopefully 2019 will be a very busy year for me and I can stake my claim to being one of the top guys up here in Canada."

Verse 3:[1] And they returned to Joshua, and said unto him, Let not all the people go up; but let about two or three thousand men (Heb. about two thousand men, or about three thousand men[2]) go up and smite Ai; and make not all the people to labour thither; for they are but few.
[Two or three thousand] Observe here the singular care and paternal benignity of God toward His Church, who by the danger of a small force achieved what was necessary for expiating the sacrilege and confirming military discipline in preparing for the most intense fighting: For a great force could not have been led into peril of that sort without the extreme desperation of all. But God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted about that ye are able; 1 Corinthians 10:13 (Masius).
Let about two or three thousand men go up, etc.: This was done by the wise contrivance of Divine Providence, that their sin might be punished, and they awakened and reformed, with as little hazard, and mischief, and reproach as might be; for if the defeat of these caused so great a consternation in Joshua, it is easy to guess what dread, and confusion, and despair it would have caused in the people, if a great host had been defeated.
[Why shall it be troubled? אַל־תְּיַגַּע־שָׁמָּה[3]] Do not make to labor thither (Montanus); do not lead thither (Septuagint); do not force there (Syriac, Arabic); do not weary unto that place (Malvenda); do not weary (supply, by leading, or sending) thither (Junius and Tremellius, Pagnine, Tigurinus). It has regard, as it appears, to the slope of the mountain. For Ai was on a mountain, Jericho in a plain. Whence they are said to go up here and in verse 4. The Latin translation refers to the trouble in fighting; the Chaldean to the tumult and din that large armies raise (Masius).
[1] Hebrew: וַיָּשֻׁ֣בוּ אֶל־יְהוֹשֻׁ֗עַ וַיֹּאמְר֣וּ אֵלָיו֮ אַל־יַ֣עַל כָּל־הָעָם֒ כְּאַלְפַּ֣יִם אִ֗ישׁ א֚וֹ כִּשְׁלֹ֣שֶׁת אֲלָפִ֣ים אִ֔ישׁ יַעֲל֖וּ וְיַכּ֣וּ אֶת־הָעָ֑י אַל־תְּיַגַּע־שָׁ֙מָּה֙ אֶת־כָּל־הָעָ֔ם כִּ֥י מְעַ֖ט הֵֽמָּה׃
[2] Hebrew: כְּאַלְפַּ֣יִם אִ֗ישׁ א֚וֹ כִּשְׁלֹ֣שֶׁת אֲלָפִ֣ים אִ֔ישׁ .
[3] יָגַע, to toil, in the Piel conjugation carries a causative sense.

PBL Works
A Drupal 8 website to support teachers and help children succeed.
PBL Works provides training and resources to help teachers facilitate project-based learning, an alternative method that uses real-world scenarios or questions as a basis for long-term projects. Project-based learning helps children learn in practical ways and transforms their educational experience, resulting in greater engagement and success.
The organization (formerly the Buck Institute for Education) went through a rebrand to sharpen its focus on project-based learning, which presented an opportunity to rethink their website experience. In addition, their old site was dated, with multiple navigation styles and a static interface that made it difficult for authors to add or update content.
PBL Works partnered with Kanopi Studios with goals to build a beautiful, flexible new website that shared success stories, answered common questions, and provided educators with the necessary resources to offer quality, project-based learning for their students.
Kanopi Studios lead strategic work for the project, holding discovery sessions with stakeholders and creating a sitemap and wireframes to establish a solid foundation for design. The PBL Works team collaborated with Kanopi through the design phase, leveraging Pattern Lab to create a consistent and highly customizable design system that communicates an educational focus.
The new site was built on Drupal 8, ensuring flexibility and ease of use for the PBL Works team, who can now add and update content within a simple, drag-and-drop experience and make use of highly-customizable layouts.
The Kanopi team leveraged Drupal's paragraphs and component libraries modules to integrate the Pattern Lab design system, and added Salesforce integrations to help PBL Works track leads. The site also includes faceted search to help users to find content with ease.
The project firmly establishes the new PBL Works brand and provides a rich collection of resources to promote project-based learning and transform education for children.

In the morning, she stands in the kitchen, waits for the water to boil while the morning traffic floated by on the street below. Her neighbour is up already, too: she can hear his TV, the morning news: a stream of voices through the wall.
She doesn't want to hear the world yet, switches her CD player on, listens to Dream Café #2 while she has breakfast: Siesta del Sol and Walkabout. In the shop where she works, there's a different kind of music playing now: Santa songs, to improve the sales. White Christmas, Winter Wonderland, and Jingle Bells, over and over.
Finally her shift is done.
"And now?" her colleague asks.
"Now, into the water," she says and smiles.
She has brought her bag, the safest way to really go there, especially in winter. As always, the water feels cold at first. Even here, in the public swimming hall, music is playing. She listens to the tunes while she slides through the water, is surprised to hear Heroes de Silencio, on this Thursday in December: Entre dos Tierras.
Later, in the attached sauna, it's world music: Indian guitars, esoteric flutes. The speakers also cover the room with the loungers, the one with the sign "Quiet, please" at the door – as if silence was a dangerous state, best to be avoided.
Lying there, she wonders what would happen if for one day, silence entered the world.

I empathize with her. Sometimes people need to be distracted from their own thoughts by the noise around them.
Great feeling of movement through the story, the music carrying her through her day until she stops, rests, but the music goes on and she wonders. Nicely done, D!
Good question! What would happen if silence entered the world? Great flash.
yes, what would happen?
maybe i should go and explore the question in a story.. next year :)
Your story made me wonder if silence has ever entered the world. Is silence possible when our own minds never stop making sound? An excellent, thought provoking story.
This is a provocative question and a great prompt for a story, I agree. A multitude of possibilities from this one. What a nugget for a writer!
The water made me think of the amniotic fluid, and the silence of the womb – but then, of course, there is no silence in the womb! There is no silence in life… I go away thinking… Thanks!
I could feel her slip into the water. Underneath is silence, one of the beauties of swimming. Provacative question — I seek silence, and solitude, every day, and every day both elude me. Peace…

I've just been for a very refreshing walk up to Nutclough Woods with my camera. It's a bit nippy out there today but that bracing walk up the hill soon warmed me up! We're really lucky in Hebden Bridge to have so many walks, long and short, surrounding the town. This is one of my favourite ones. I was hoping to see some Snowdrops as I'm going to do some new Spring designs but I'm a little early...there were a few little green shoots though....

Food as Medicine: Quick, simple health tip we use around here when starting to get sick that even a kid or picky adult will take: Chop up some garlic and ginger-some folks use onions too, add honey enough to cover. Kinda smash it up a little extra in the honey (known as macerating) and let sit for several hours or more, covered. The garlic and ginger extract into the honey and you have a super potent and rather yummy herbal remedy in no time at all- use promptly and take as needed. Helps with colds and the flu and can be amended any way you like. Very effective, cheap and easy peasy.
