ISTORINIS ŽYDŲ KVARTALAS VILNIUJE

Gana neblogai šiandienos Vilniaus senamiestyje išlikusiose keliose buvusio žydų kvartalo gatvėse ir prasideda šios bendruomenės istorija, įkvėpusi visame pasaulyje pasklidusį Vilniaus kaip Šiaurės Jeruzalės vaizdinį ir aprėpianti įvairialypę vietos žydų veiklą, palikusią pėdsakus meno, mokslo, ekonomikos ar politikos istorijoje Lietuvoje bei už jos ribų.

KULAUTUVOS ISTORINIS ŽYDŲ KVARTALAS

Tarpukariu Kulautuvos kurortas netoli Kauno dėl čia gausiai besilankančių Lietuvos žydų skambiai vadintas „žydų Palestina“. Nors jo peizažai toli gražu nepriminė Palestinos, tačiau poilsio ir ramybės šiame gamtos prieglobstyje ieškojo gausybė vasartojų, žmonės netgi juokdavosi, kad jei nepagydė ypatingas Kulautuvos oras – nebepagydys jau niekas. Nesvarbu, ar labiau norite sveikatintis, ar trokštate pažinti šio kurorto žydų paveldą – pasivaikščiojimas gryname ore visada į naudą!

DRUSKININKŲ ISTORINIS ŽYDŲ KVARTALAS

„Tikra yra, kad Čiurlionis buvo tikras genijus. Ir aš didžiuojuosi gimęs kaime, kurio žemę lietė jo kojos. Mūsų brangieji, nepamirštamieji Druskininkai!“ (Žakas Lipšicas) Taip jau susiklostė, jog rami Druskininkų aplinka nuolat įkvėpdavo menininkus, tame tarpe ir žydus, o ypač – muzikus. 1846 m. šiame miestelyje gimė kantorius, dainininkas ir dirigentas Jokūbas Mošė Abelow, savo talentu išgarsėjęs visoje Lietuvoje ir dažnai kviestas giedoti Didžiojoje Vilniaus sinagogoje.

📷🌟 If You are interested in Jewish heritage

📷🌟 If You are interested in Jewish heritage in Lithuania, You will probably visit Žiežmariai to see a newly restored wooden synagogue in this town. But do not rush back after this visit – there are more interesting things to see in this cozy town. For instance, there is a building of an old inn by the main street, where both townspeople and passers-by sat together in the beginning of the 20th century.

🦉📚 Perhaps, there is no surprise when a boy who spent all his childhood in his father`s bookstore in his adult years becomes a philosopher existentialist. But when a professor of Sorbonne university says that he published his first article in the Lithuanian journal “Vairas” (en. “Steering wheel”) it catches more
attention. And all of this was in one extraordinary person - Lithuanian Jew Emanuel Levin.

🌹 In 2006, a memorial plaque was unveiled on the oldtown house where Emanuel Levin was born and raised (Karaliaus Mindaugo avenue 37). In 2013, the street in Kaunas was named after Emanuel Levin, and after two years the square nearby famous Kaunas Funicular received his name as well.

🕊️ The Jewish community in Širvintos grew so

🕊️ The Jewish community in Širvintos grew so fast, that at the dawn of the First World War it constituted the majority of the town's population. The main space of the historical Jewish quarter in Širvintos belongs to Vilnius street, where most local Jews lived until the Second World War. Although quite a large number of Jews from Širvintos emigrated to the USA or South Africa during the interwar period, the ones who stayed were very active members of society and the main traders in Širvintos. However, there is no Jewish community left in Širvintos nowadays.

🌱👉 In a small typical town in the middle of Lithuania – in Žiežmariai – the historical Jewish quarter was in a relatively compact space. Until the Second World War local Jews mostly lived, worked, and spent their free time on Vilnius street and its surroundings.

🛠️ Recently on this street wooden beit midrash has been renovated and with this historical beauty, Žiežmariai is once again becoming a welcoming stop between Vilnius and Kaunas.

⚕️ In 2007, on the crossroads of Mėsinių and Ašmenos streets, an exceptional work by sculptor R. Kvintas was unveiled. It represents a famous local doctor and public figure Zemach Shabad (1864-1935) with a girl and a kitty. Now this sculpture is often recognized as the sculpture of “Doctor Aybolit” of Vilnius.

🙌❤️ The presence of the sculpture in the very heart of Vilnius is also a symbolic one – Z.Shabad was a dedicated Vilnius citizen, he worked hard all his life for the people of Vilnius and their well-being. Near this monument you can also find Jewish Culture & Information Centre at Mėsinių str. 3a/5.

🕊️🧐 Jurbarkas can be proud of the interesting and meaningful commemoration of the historical Jewish community and its culture in the town. Already in 1918 Jews in Jurbarkas actively participated in the city`s politics – they constituted about half of the city council. And this fact is no surprise because the Jewish community in Jurbarkas at the beginning of the 20th century was a relatively modern one.

🌊 It would be difficult to find a Lithuanian citizen, who never heard the nostalgic song “My love has drowned in the sea of Palanga...”. The author of this song and many other popular Lithuanian songs, the pioneer of Lithuanian pop music was a polyglot Danielius Dolskis.

🎼 He was an important figure of interwar Kaunas cultural life. An elegant sculpture of him is located in the heart of the city in Laisvės avenue – right in front of the previous building of the “Metropolis” restaurant, where Dolskis used to sing.

❤️⚕️ On the last Sunday of each September, the medical community celebrates World Heart Day. This is the perfect day to visit Plungė and memorial plaque for doctor Borisas Efrosas on Vytautas street. Why? Because he was the first person in Lithuania, who successfully started to save the hearts of his patients and taught the next generation of his colleagues how to do so.

🍬🍯 At the beginning of the 20th-century people began to search for alternatives to sugar, not because sugar was seen as an unhealthy commodity, but to look something even sweeter. “Taicas and Šeras” company produced sweet pills made from saccharin, which at that time were advertised to be at least 100 times sweeter than regular sugar!
