It had been bombed in, I think, the 80s; the then French Premier had regretted the loss of innocent lives (meaning the French non-Jews killed in the attack, as opposed to the French Jews). But - anyway - I thought of it as the French Bloom's (the old kosher restaurant in London). Ordered a plate of mixed hors d'oevres - they included chopped liver and, as I recall, some sort of cheese - turns out that Goldenberg's is "kosher-style".... Anyway: I commend it as a somewhat surreal French Jewish experience. Shana tova - have a great trip. I spent RH at Freedman... the place is in a sort of inter-regnum, so to speak - after the last Chief Pickler, and before the next Farm Manager.... :-) Nige x Anna - one of my more memorable eating experiences was when I was at Goldenberg’s, in the quartier juif, in Paris - a good long while ago.

The computer is quite wild sometimes -- so much love from abroad! And thanks to Renna -- who read my post & sent me tons of info about being Jewish in Paris. I went to shul today on her recommendation and am so glad I did --- apples & honey (what's all this about the honey dripping everywhere? i'm a good honey eater!) are all well & good -- but I was pretty glad to get a little u-ne-tana tokef in too. Thanks!!! Thanks for the good wishes! The computer is quite wild sometimes — so much love from abroad!

May you eat well on the steps of the Sacre Coeur and may you have a year of shefa (abundance) and delicious baked goods, preferably baked with local ingredients and love. And let me know if you'll be making it over to Israel for Yom Kippur or Sukkot. I leave in a week. Anna, it seems to all be working out so wonderfully for you over there.

I tried giving you a call this morning to wish you a shana tovah, but then realized...oh right...your phone doesn't work in France. Tear off a little hunk of brie-slathered (honey dipped?) baguette for me! I’m so glad you’re there and happy!
