Wiesenthal Center, the Jewish 
Museum, the Judenplatz monu-
ment to 65,000 Jewish Austrians 
who were killed in the 
Holocaust, and the Judenplatz 
Museum.
Most Viennese Jews live 
about a mile north, across the 
Danube River. We visited the 
Chabad House there on Sukkot 
and enjoyed a barbecue in its 
sukkah the day after. The con-
gregants were very welcoming 
and included a mixture of Jews 

from several parts of the world. 
The rabbi’
s wife, upon realizing 
we were newlyweds, suggest-
ed the group recite the Sheva 
Brachot wedding blessings in 
honor of our nuptials. 
On our last day in town, after 
stuffing ourselves with chicken, 
hot dogs and hamburgers at 
the Chabad House barbecue, 
we took advantage of our only 
chance to sample the kosher 
shish kabob and chicken schnit-
zel at the Bahur Tov restaurant 

across the street. So much 
indulgence for a couple who 
rarely ate meat!
Afterward, we spotted the 
Veganista “ice cream” shop 
down the street from Chabad. 
We noticed it had a unifying 
rabbinical certification on its 
window — VHK, standing for 

Vegan-Halal-Kosher — meant 
to appeal to vegans, Muslims 
and Jews alike. 
Our experience in Vienna 
proved positive and uplifting. In 
this age of terror and division, 
there are “signs” of hope.
