Ramallah Cafe is popular with Israelis

By BERNIE BELLAN

Hunkering down in Jerusalem

Bonnie edited 2By SIMONE COHEN SCOTT
Winnipeg Beach, July 11, 2020
My usual practice is to spend the winter months in Jerusalem, returning to Canada in early April. That didn’t happen this year. I didn’t take the Coronavirus seriously until it was too late to ‘get out of town’, so to speak.

Annamie Paul, candidate for leadership of the Green Party, had a surprising Winnipeg connection - unknown to her until recently

Annamie Paul/the late Rabbi Jim Diamond

Reviewed by MARTIN ZEILIG

With a daily circulation of 275,000, this influential New York City-based newspaper was “socialist in content but not Bolshevik in form,” notes Lubomyr Luciuk, a professor of political geography at the Royal Military College in Kingston, Ontario, in the introduction to How People Live In Soviet Russia.

Nathan Stall: a credit to the name

Dr. Nathan Stall

By GERRY POSNER

With all the devastating fallout from the COVID- 19 nightmare which has taken over all our lives on this planet over the last five months, there is an upside ( for me at least) to it all. Anyone who watches TV and the news of the pandemic has frequently seen two figures cross the screen in interviews.

Growing up both black & white

David Greaves

By DAVID GREAVES
I have spent the better part of the last couple of weeks having “out loud” conversations with myself about what is happening in our world, asking myself questions that are inconceivable. It essentially boils down to one question though: Why? Why are there people that feel so differently than me or you or most God-fearing people?
