A Review On: A Brief History of the Jewish Settlement in Barbados

This informative pamphlet/book has twelve pages, four of which are of black and white photos, and it was printed in 1986.
It reveals a little about the Jewish settlers who fled to Barbados from Brazil, South America after Portugal reclaimed that colony.

It tells of the ups and downs of the Jewish people who dwelled in Barbados in a simple and to-the-point manner.

As for the photos, although it would have been pleasing to see much more of the Synagogue, the present ones are beneficial to the history that is covered here.

Today, the Synagogue is a tourist attraction in Barbados and reading a bit about its history and especially when it was on the verge of repairs, is worthwhile.

You can check out the pamphlet/book at Amazon.com by clicking the link below.

God's Care

In Paris, an 18-month-old baby boy, who was left in an apartment with his three-year-old sister while their parents went for a stroll, fell out of a window. The baby fell from the eighth floor. He fell through the window, bounced off the awning of a restaurant and landed in the arms of someone who was walking by. The baby did not seem to have suffered any physical injury. Wow!  Thank the Lord.

Andorra – A Shared Country

Andorra is sandwiched between France and Spain, and it is co-governed by the President of France and the Bishop of Urgell, who is in Spain.  Although Andorra has accommodations for a few helicopters, there are no airports here.  In fact, its closest airports are in France and Spain.  Therefore, those desiring to visit this country must travel through France or Spain and then travel by land, to get here. Perhaps due to sharing governmental powers, this country also shares the postal system.  France’s post boxes in this country are yellow, while Spain’s are red. 

Luxembourg – Workforce

Luxembourg has three official languages, and they are Luxembourgish, German and French. Additionally, almost half of the country’s workforce is made up of workers who live in Belgium, France and Germany.   Yes, most of these workers boardercross, daily, to get to their jobs and then return home at the end of the workday, in another country.
