For Your Convenience
During the Holiday Season

today as it was hundreds of years
ago.
In his book, A Travel Guide To
Jewish Europe, Ben Frank sums up
the Parisian area succinctly:
"People bustle around this old-
world neighborhood, which has
and always will exude a Jewish
atmosphere."
Eva and Sheldon Hamburger of
West Bloomfield agree. On their
honeymoon a few years ago, the
couple visited Paris' Jewish quarter.
They witnessed the ciry's abun-
dance of "Hamish" restaurants,
narrow cobblestone streets and old
buildings that are still intact, and they
experienced that old-world feeling.
"We really enjoyed being in the
Jewish quarter," Eva Hamburger says.
"The Jewish quarter maintains many
of the buildings from hundreds of
years ago that are part of the Jewish
legacy in Paris."
The food made strong impressions
on the couple — and on others.
While the Hamburgers enjoyed some
authentic Jewish cuisine — shnitzel,
brisket and chicken soup — in a
Hamish atmosphere, Gateway Travel
President Rochelle Lieberman delight-

ed in an authentic apple strudel in a
restaurant that was reminiscent of the
old country
"Just being there leaves you feeling
proud of your heritage," Lieberman
says. "You feel connected to your peo-
ple."
Though walking through Paris'
Jewish quarter may remind visitors of
a stroll through the Lower East Side
of New York, it can also trigger less
favorable memories. Throughout the
Marais neighborhood, plaques hang
outside buildings in memory of those
who lost their lives during the
Holocaust.
