The weather here has been great lately- in the mid 60s, with clear air. I can see all the way out to the mountains today, which is pretty unusual. We here at Moishe House Beijing like to capitalize on good weather, so we had an outdoor Bagel Brunch (well, it was at noon, so more like lunch...) that was pretty successful. Orange juice definitely tastes better when served from a carafe.
On Tuesday, the Israeli embassy had a Holocaust memorial ceremony. The main speaker was the daughter of He FengShan, one of the two Chinese righteous among the nations. He served as a diplomat in Vienna before WW2 and helped many Jews get exit visas to Shanghai. Some of them just used the visas to leave the war, and then chose their own destination, but many actually settled in Shanghai. Learn more about him at Yad Vashem website.-
