"When #HenryWadsworthLongfellow visited #Newport’s #Jewish #cemetery [...], he wrote of the graves as “silent beside the never-silent waves.” He noticed, too, what endured there: “Gone are the living, but the dead remain,” he observed, “and not neglected.”

Newport’s preservation of Jewish #sacred space was shared. #Jews endowed these places and returned to bury their dead there. #Christian officials repaired, protected, and publicly honored them. In this way, a Jewish inheritance was carried forward until communal life returned.

In 1883, #TouroSynagogue was rededicated and a new Jewish community established in Newport. But even in the window of years when the #congregation was gone, the dead were not abandoned."

Carlsberg don’t do Saturdays, but if they did…

Three points for County, followed by some excellent #ShoutyBlokesWithGuitars action at the #NewportMusicTrail courtesy of #Maeve, #GeneralWaste and #Ynys.

First gig of the year... Rather late for me given it's the end of March.
Missed the bozos due to a points failure at britton ferry, but did catch second support act Pizzatramp. Local hardcore band, bit drunk, but having a blast.
Murderburgers headline, very good live.
Would come back to the Cab in #newport since the music is good and drink inexpensive by gig standards (£4 a double)
