Subject: [Cz-L] How Do I Travel the World - Part 2 (Istanbul, 5712 km)
Czernowitzers...
I owe you my posting "How Do I Travel the World - Part 2" from Istanbul,
stage 12 of my motorcycle ride to Bukovina and far, far beyond. You have the
choice, either you book a guided tour by Istanbul Jewish Heritage Tours or
you prefer to follow me. In this case we'll not have the opportunity to see
the Istanbul synagogues from inside, but perhaps we'll get the mood of the
surrounding neighborhoods:

l
Stage 12 - 12 synagogues out of currently 26 active synagogues. As you can
see, ten out of twelve Istanbul synagogues have more than the Jewish
religion in common: barbwire, cameras, police checks, security guards, alarm
systems, spot lights and much else. Two synagogues can afford to refrain
from such safety measures. The Abudara Synagogue is a ruined building and
the back of the Askenazi Synagogue, both in Beyoglu, hosts a brothel, the
"doormen" being even more deterrent than regular police forces. I can't help
it, all this has nothing to do with a normal and free practice of religion.
