icked people make wicked things, good
people should make good things," said
Ehud Brunicki. "That's what my moth-
er used to tell me. "
Brunicki's mother and father were both Polish sur-
vivors of the Holocaust who lost their families,
including their spouses, in the Shoah. They met and
married in Poland after the war and made aliya to
Israel in 1957, when their son was 10.
This month, Brunicki, now an Israeli businessman,
launched what he hopes will be a very good thing in his
native city: an Israeli/Polish/Jewish restaurant.
The restaurant called Warszawa-Jerozolima —
Warsaw-Jerusalem in Polish — is on Smocza Street in
the area of the pre-war Jewish quarter, the once-
vibrant district that the Nazis turned into the notori-
ous Warsaw Ghetto.
Poland was the cradle of European Jewish life before
World War II, and Warsaw was the most important
Jewish center in Europe. Its 350,000 Jews made up one-
third of the local population. But some 3 million of
Poland's 3.5 million Jews were killed in the Holocaust,
and the Jewish quarter of Warsaw was reduced to a pile
of smoldering rubble. Only about 300 Jews remained
alive in Warsaw when it was liberated on Jan. 17, 1945.
For Brunicki, the restaurant is a labor of love that
reflects his attachment both to Israel and to his native
city.
"I decided to make a nice place where people can
come, enjoy themselves, see views of Israel, listen to
Jewish music, and taste both the delicious food that
was served in Warsaw before the war as well as Israeli
Middle Eastern cuisine," he said.
The decor and the menu of Warsaw Jerusalem pay
tribute both to Israel and the 1,000-year history of
Polish Jewry. One section is enclosed by murals of the
desert, so that it resembles a Bedouin encampment,
and diners are encouraged to linger after the meal and
play chess or backgammon.
The restaurant is non-dairy, but not kosher. This, ..
. . • :
Brunicki said, is because there is no permanent
shochet, or ritual slaughterer, in Poland, so it is not
possible to obtain the necessary quantity of kosher
meat. ❑

If One Has A Bad Dream, Must
One Do Something About It?
ccording to Jewish tradition, when you
sleep, your body quiets and your mind relaxes. Your soul
"rises above" daytime entanglements. In such a state,
you can sometimes receive actual inklings of the future.
As the verse in Job states, "In a dream — in a vision of the night
— God opens the ears of man." (33:15)
But a bad dream can result just as easily from an extra slice of
pizza too close to bedtime or a horror movie from 10 years ago. It's
difficult, therefore, to know what is an actual premonition, what is
a re-run and what is pizza-inspired.
If you are worried about a bad dream, one option is to fast the next
day, known as a taanit chalom. This particular option is not as com-
mon today since most people become depressed and weak when they
fast. Therefore, the negative effects may be greater than the good.
The most prevalent practice is to "make the dream better,".
known as hatavat chalom. The Talmud states, "One who saw a
dream and is depressed about it should 'make it better' in front of
three people — providing they love him." That is,- that one should
tell a close friend that he is distraught by a bad dream and ask him
together with two other friends to state (with conviction), "You have
seen a good dream," three times. Most prayer books contain special
passages to recite. Some authorities record the custom of telling the
dream to the local rabbi and asking for a positive interpretation.
