SOME NEWS FROM VENICE
AND THE CORONA VIRUS OUTBREAK

Dear friends,😃😃😃

We send to you some news and photos from our quarantined city. It is spooky, this is the twilight zone. We have never been in such a situation and every day we are learning how to cope with it.

Our situation is like this: “EVERYONE SITS AT HOME”.

Schools, shops, shopping centers and restaurants are all closed. Even the bars – imagine the horror for the local population! – No Spritz….🍷🍷🍷

Supermarkets, pharmacies and above all pet shops are open – (good for our cats 🐱🐱🐱).

The city is almost empty as you can see in this YouTube movie that was taken before the last rigid quarantine laws were decreed.

So what do we do? We sit at home. Michal is putting last touches on some new synagogues she painted. The Paradesi synagogue in Cochin, India, The Remah synagogue in Krakov, Poland and the Ibn Danan synagogue in Fes, Morocco. This was in cooperation with the Beth Hatfuzot Museum in Israel “to bring alive their little models”.
