The inferno that decimated #Thessalonica left 70,000 people, including 52,000 Jews, homeless and penniless. 32 Synagogues were destroyed in a matter of hours - a culture built up over centuries, nearly completely erased, because of a simple twist of fate.

Harry Houdini, otherwise known as Eric Weisz, was perhaps the most famous magician of all time. The master illusionist, who passed away #OnThisDay in 1926, would often expose charlatans, a practice that made him a target of anti-Semitic attacks.

We don't know this puppy's name, but he played his part in history!

#Israel and #Iran weren't always arch-enemies. In fact, there was a time, not so long ago, when Iranians would turn to Israelis in moments of crisis. A rare Iranian government document now kept at the NLI sheds light on this often forgotten period

"For a brief moment have I forsaken you,
But with great compassion will I gather you"
Our thoughts are with the victims of the #PittsburghShooting and their families.
May their memory be a blessing.
