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.

Burkina Faso – In Need

Many countries around the world are advising their citizens not to visit Burkina Faso, at this time, unless it is an essential trip. It is mainly due to the unrest in the country. The is a country faced with many troubles. Citizens and visitors alike are being killed, yet travellers ignore these government-issued advisories and go headlong into the country.  In December 2018, the government here declared a state of emergency for specific places in the country. And earlier this year, they extended this emergency by six months. In January 2019, the Prime Minister and his cabinet quit.

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.
