a revolution in a café

In a brand new community I wouldn't build a jewish kindergarden, nor a synagogue... I would build a big café with a room for a small cinema and a room in which wise men could talk about the future of our community. I think jewish children can go to school with all the others, but they can come to the jewish café each sunday to learn about the jewish holidays and traditions. I believe, that if I can build only one building, a café would be the best one, both cultural and educational needs. Of course it could be kosher! It would serve traditional jewish dishes, as well as food from modern Israeli cuisine. It would be goy-friendly. As Tadeusz Kantor said: “Each artistic revolution began in a café”. And if I want to start a new community I certainly need a revolution.

  1. I love this idea - why have a JCC when you can have a cafe - so simple but so clever!
