Christian investing with sean hymans biblical money code
Автор: Yojind | Category: Should i trade eth for btc | Октябрь 2, 2012Prince says that the blessing of Abraham is what Christians are due to get through Jesus work on the cross as well as all the other things the cross wins for us such as forgiveness of sins. Well the guy I am writing about here also uses the Bible as a basis for teaching on how to morally and Biblically build wealth in a safe and reliable way… I came across him a few months back and found what he said seemed to make sense and be quite hard to argue against. He has a free and open web video that tells anyone who wants to watch, what he says are the Bible based methods and principles he uses to very successfully make investments with great returns.
Hyman cites passages from the book of Proverbs, the parables of Jesus in the Gospels and teachings of St Paul the book of Acts and various epistles letters in the New Testament as providing wisdom in how to generate wealth through investing in an ethical and pretty much guaranteed fruitful way. He does say that it is not without risk, but uses the parable of the talents as taught by Jesus as one of his main examples — where risk is necessary to be taken. The servant who takes no risk is punished by his master and Hyman argues that this is because his failure to try to use the money he had been given to generate more wealth was lazy and wicked.
This is in Matthews Gospel Chapter Hyman also points out that a lot of Jesus parables includes the subject of money — something I had not realised before. Hmm, food for thought. Well, Hyman puts forward a quite impressive sounding talk on his approach and gives examples of Warren Buffet and Sir John Templeton as people who invested with huge success financially by using similar approaches to his.
Tyrone , for the new scheme. He was a man of vision, determination and organising ability. By August , evacuees were living at Stuart Hall, which now included about 50 Nissen huts in the grounds. The Prime Minister of Northern Ireland and other dignitaries came to inspect the new settlement.
Nat Goorwitch set about providing additional living accommodation and the necessary facilities. There was to be a school on site, a sick bay with a matron, and a shop in the former stables. He insisted on using only local labour and wanted to integrate the scheme into the local community.
He initiated plans for vocational training in horticulture and garment making. There was no settlement for evacuees quite like it anywhere else in the UK. However, the scheme was destined to fail. Some local opinion - including notably Viscount Charlemont - turned against Nat Goorwitch. There were allegations of mismanagement and that he was using the scheme for his own advancement.
There was also delay from Government in releasing grants which prevented the vocational training from developing as quickly as planned. Viscount Charlemont, as chair of the board of supporters of the Stewartstown scheme, felt sidelined by Goorwitch's management style. Having resigned, he campaigned behind the scenes to have Goorwitch reined in. Also that a former Countess of Charlemont had converted to Judaism. The number of residents at the Stewartstown scheme never came close to the thousand aimed for, and the settlement proved not to be self-sustaining.
The scheme of Nat Goorwitch got caught between the urgent need for short-term housing in response to the blitz and the longer-term vision of its founder which was never fully realised. This story is based on the excellent articles about the Stewartstown scheme in The Bell. The articles are illustrated by photographs provided by members of the Goorwitch family.
Tyrone Handkerchief manufacturers Jan Pick lost his textile business in Czechoslovakia after the Nazi occupation of the Sudetenland in March Flight Lieutenant Jan Pick served as a photographer. After the war he found that most of his relatives had perished in the Holocaust. Knowing some textile contacts in N.
Ireland, he went there to investigate possible business opportunities. He had a look at Enniskillen. Returning to Belfast the bus stopped unexpectedly in Fivemiletown, Co. Tyrone, and he had to stay overnight in the Valley hotel.
The owner offered him a loft at the back of the hotel to start a business. Jan Pick liked the look of the area — so took up the offer! They started out with two sewing machines. The company was registered in Feb. By the s the business had relocated to a factory in Clabby Road, and around 40 women were employed in sewing, as well as outworkers in the community who folded and packed the handkerchiefs etc for piece-rates.
On a company document, the name of Zdenek Joseph Sochor is noted with an allocation of 1 share. This was likely Jan's initial contact to come to N. In , Elizabeth helped as a volunteer interpreter with the re-settlement of about Hungarian refugees who arrived by boat in Belfast at the end of January - with an official welcoming by Lady Brookeborough, wife of the PM and President of the NI Hungarian Relief Committee.
Jan was made a vice-president of the Fivemiletown British Legion branch. The Picks were very much involved with the local community and are remembered fondly by ex-employees as being sociable and fair, although exacting at times! Jan died on holiday in Elizabeth died in Jan and Elizabeth appear to have had no connection with the Jewish community in Belfast. They are buried in St John's Churchyard in Fivemiletown. The company was sold in the early 's and taken on by the then company manager, Desmond Orr.
The factory was still in operation until St James Church, Moy, Co. Tyrone, close to her family home at Roxborough Castle. Lady Charlemont was born in Co. Meath, the daughter of Lord Athlumney. They had a daughter in , who sadly died the day she was born.
When at home at Roxborough Castle she travelled 40 miles to attend services at the Great Victoria Street synagogue in Belfast. Her first Hebrew teacher was the minister to the Belfast Jewish community, Rev. Joseph Chotzner. Lady Charlemont was involved in many charitable works around Moy. According to the Jewish Encyclopedia: "She was an excellent linguist, a good musician, and possessed a remarkable gift for recitation, which she utilized on behalf of charitable institutions.
The Countess died in , aged But until recently, no one knew for sure the nature of the Jewish connection. The grave belongs to Frances Margaret Jacobs who died 16th December Agnes was from Pomeroy, Co. Tyrone, and her maiden name was Sinnamon. In Orthodox Jewish tradition, Jewish identity is taken from the maternal line.
Agnes Sinnamon was not Jewish, and her baby was buried in the Church of Ireland graveyard. And perhaps someone knowing the tragic story of the Countess of Charlemont, whose only child died at birth, arranged for the Jacobs baby to be placed next to the Jewish Countess. Research so far has failed to identify any descendants of Solomon and Agnes Jacobs. However, the former Rector of the church, Aonghus Mayes, observed small stones on occasions placed with care on the headstone — this signifies that someone familiar with Jewish customs has visited the grave and placed the stones in the traditional Jewish mark of respect.
Here Susan sings Alas! Armagh A Congregation in the s The first known Jewish religious services took place in Armagh in But the congregation there was very small and so far as we can tell barely survived a year. A general meeting was held on Sunday, April 7th, for the purpose of electing Officers and making other arrangements.
Samuel J. Parks was elected President; Mr. Abraham Glickman Treasurer; Mr. Bernard Glick. Secretary and Messrs. Special thanks were accorded to Mr. Glickman for his valuable services. The newspaper's editorial on 2nd August, remarked: "what is especially surprising is that such large numbers of immigrants are settling in the Sister Isle, and in addition to joining the congregations long established in Dublin, Belfast and Cork are forming small colonies; in the towns of Limerick, Armagh, Londonderry, Dundalk and Waterford.
We must confess that we cannot view without some misgiving the settlement of the foreign immigrant in towns such as these, which unfortunately, cannot be described as prosperous. We think that our Boards of Guardians, both here and in the provinces, should strongly dissuade their applicants from proceeding to any of these towns". Nevertheless services were held in Armagh in the following year. The services were read by Mr. Parks and Mr. Abraham Glickman. There were more Jews living in near by Lurgan, about 16 miles away, and by the early s they had formed their own small congregation.
The census records that Abraham Glickman was by then a Jewish minister living in Dublin. Born in Russia in about , and married to Sarah, his eldest children, Molly, Phillip and Laurence were born in Armagh city in the s. His next two children were born in Dundalk and the family had moved to Dublin by He conducted Shiurim [religious classes] at the New, South Broughton, and other Synagogues, and was respected for his piety and Talmudical knowledge. He leaves a widow, four daughters, and four sons, one of whom is the Rev.
Glickman's early years in Armagh had been forgotten. His son, Rev. Laurence Glickman MA, who was born in Armagh in about , was a noted Hebrew scholar and cantor and headmaster at the Holy Law synagogue, an important congregation then situated in Redbank, Manchester. Portadown, Co. After marriage they settled in Danzig, a port city on the Baltic sea, which at that time was a Free State it is now Gdansk in Poland.
Kasriel had a number of business interests there and also a factory in Bydgosz, a city in Poland, which produced fishing nets. Hitler had come to power in Germany, threatening war and spewing hatred against Jews. Kasriel sensed time was short and was prepared to sacrifice all he had in Poland to start a new life elsewhere. A conversation in with his principal customer in Britain, Jack Posnansky, persuaded him to start a manufacturing business there.
Fortunately the Northern Ireland government was on the look-out to establish new industries and Kasriel was able to interest them in his family's experience of lace manufacture. Kasriel headed to Portadown, with his brother-in-law Jack Shanik, to re-create from scratch the family business.
At the end of August the rest of the family travelled in haste by overnight train from Warsaw through Germany to Ostend, and then to Dover. On the morning they arrived in Britain they saw the newspaper headlines that Germany had invaded Poland. I can clearly remember the journey. A sleepy frontier post on the Polish side. Once in Germany mile after mile of railway trucks with troops and armoured vehicles. During the war it made uniform badges for the armed services. At its height the firm employed nearly workers at three different sites - a new factory on the Loughgall Road was opened in and later extended so that all the production could be concentrated there.
Changing demand and fashion caused the gradual phasing out of lace, and embroidery production followed the installation of the most modern knitwear plant. Ulster Laces designed in-house and produced over a million cardigans a year. The people of Portadown took the Bloch family to their hearts. They had escaped from Poland with next to nothing. Made so many friends there. Very sad day when it closed.
A minyan is the quorum of ten adult men required for communal worship. A minyan room is therefore a Jewish prayer room — a little too small to be called a synagogue. The first known services in Lurgan were held as early as at the private home of Joseph and Sarah Hammel in William Street. According to the census, about 40 Jews were living in Lurgan.
Except for one family, all lived in adjoining North, Ulster and William streets. The census shows over 70 Jewish residents. The dominant figure in the Lurgan Hebrew congregation was Joseph Herbert who arrived before He came from Tukum, Latvia. Joseph set up shop at North Street selling furniture and household goods. The family traded there for over a century. Joseph Herbert was a Poor Law Guardian and in he topped the poll in municipal elections. In the members of the community formed a society to buy a precious Sepher Torah — the scroll of the law, which contains the first five books of the Bible.
Hand written in Hebrew on special parchment, a portion from the Sepher Torah was read each Sabbath at the minyan rooms. The congregation employed its own ministers — including the quaintly named Rev. Salem Turtledove. A resident, Louis Rosenberg d. Levin Road in Lurgan is said to have been named after Robert Levin, who in was a 20 year old draper boarding with two other Jewish men in the town. He became well known as a trade union organiser for the Lurgan weavers and is remembered for his work to alleviate poverty.
The Lurgan Hebrew congregation folded in , shortly after the death of Joseph Herbert. Lurgan by then had two Sefer Torahs which were presented to the Belfast synagogue. During the Second World War Jewish services were once again held in the town, by evacuees from Belfast.
In the military authorities let them use a hall in Lurgan to conduct their services. The shop closed when Alan retired in He was a true gentleman. They passed a shop on Union Street, the door of which was half open for trade.
They are Jews — her father explained — they have their Sabbath on a different day. Many years later Linda attended a cultural event at Belfast synagogue. This gives a priceless insight into the life of a Jewish family in an Ulster market town around the Second World War. Linda takes the story back to eastern Europe. Some time in the s, the family was forced out of their shtetl — or village —in Lithuania, and moved to the nearby town of Zhager. Zhager was overcrowded with displaced Jews and making a living there was hard.
The Jews were penned in by restrictions and discrimination, and by the fear of deadly pogroms which were breaking out elsewhere in the Czarist empire. Isaac Mathews — the name originally was probably Matthaus — escaped Russia aged He headed west as far as he could go, ending up in Co. Armagh in In he established his own business as a credit draper. By he was living at William Street. He eventually got married, to Gertrude Morris from Belfast in , and raised a family of four boys and two girls, all Lurgan born and reared.
Lurgan synagogue had long closed and the Matthews family visited Belfast for festival services. Some of the boys stayed with their grandmother in Belfast so that they could receive a Jewish education and be prepared for their Bar Mitzvah ceremony on their 13th birthday. The Matthews were members of the Tribe of Levi. This was a designation that they and their ancestors had proudly maintained for well over twenty centuries, from Biblical Judea to Lurgan, Co.
First Isaac hawked goods door-to-door on foot — carrying his wares in a pair of battered suitcases across the town and surrounding villages like Moira five miles away. The family eventually set up a small shop in the front room of their home in Union Street, where local people remembered being served by Benny and sister Ray. Many years later Sammy acquired his first car which made travel for business a lot easier, and enabled the family to sell bigger and heavier items, like rolls of carpet, oil cloth and window blinds.
The motor car also enabled the Matthews boys to live in Belfast on getting married, while retaining the business in and around Lurgan. Their father Isaac had died at the home on Union Street in The business was principally in credit drapery and house furnishings — but the Matthews were required by their customers to be jacks of all trades. They had the good-natured patter to be successful salesmen. The youngest Elliot set off on his own career path, trained at the Optical factory in Lurgan and got his first job at the Sirocco works in Belfast.
The Matthews were loved for their down to earth common sense, hard work, and a deadpan sense of humour. They were born raconteurs, loved music and took great joy in their yiddishkeit — their Jewish faith and culture. When in the Facebook page Old Lurgan Characters asked who remembered Benny Matthews, almost responded - all positively. A true gentleman. Contented and relaxed dwelt old age pensioners Sarah Ann and husband Willie. I called every fortnight and received either a dozen eggs or a stone of potatoes freshly dug.
There was no electricity, no running water and a television was never heard of. A double burner oil lamp provided light and the turf fire was their only means to provide heat or to cook their meals. They had no education and I often had to read their correspondence and fill in their forms and voting papers.
It was during Chanuka and a week before Christmas, I will never forget the duty they asked me to do. There were two large roosters one in each basket crowing loudly. I told her "you might as well ask me to wring your neck, I think I would make a better job of it". She insisted, "Take the one in the basket and ask a neighbour to kill it". I must have spent an hour explaining the kosher doctrine. In the end I accepted a dozen eggs and we wished each other a happy festival".
In Jewish law only a highly trained shochet is permitted to kill animals for kosher food. Newry, Co. Lill doesn't know for sure why her family arrived in Newry. They were East European Jews who like millions of others were escaping persecution and seeking a better life. For most the goal was New York rather than Newry. There was a tiny cluster of Jewish families in the town - but not enough to form a synagogue.
Her youngest brother was born in Newry and qualified as a doctor. Joseph, opened a shop in Trondheim, where two more children were born. The business failed - "Newry is better than Norway", the family complained, and by the early s they had moved to the capital, Oslo.
In April Germany invaded Norway and occupied it for the rest of the war. The Nazis brought with them their hatred of the Jews. Even though the Norwegian Jewish community numbered only two thousand, they were targeted for persecution. Oppression in Norway started with executions of trade union leaders and those accused of resistance, as well as legal restrictions and random attacks against the Jews. The persecution of Norway's Jews intensified when the pro-Nazi collaborator and leader of the Norwegian Nazi party, Vidkun Quisling, became premier in February Jews were issued special identity cards, they were made to fill in four-page forms detailing all their property and business interests, and the authorities demanded membership lists of all Jewish associations.
In October a group of fleeing Jews were challenged by border police on a train. They had neither identity cards nor permission to travel. The non-Jewish guide, who was to take them across the border to Sweden, panicked and shot one of the policemen dead. Both he and the fleeing Jews were arrested and killed. The Nazi-controlled press spewed out hatred against the entire Jewish community and called for revenge.
On 26 October the Norwegian police and SS came to arrest all Jewish men across the country and seize Jewish property on an unprecedented scale. Lill says "This was an enormous bureaucratic exercise. In the state archives I've seen the lists drawn up by civil servants of arrested Jews, Jews yet to be arrested, Jews in hospitals etc.
There is also a list of my own family's possessions - down to individual items of my grandparent's furniture. Every item was returned after the war. When the police and Gestapo arrived in the flat to arrest the males none were present.
Lill's grandfather, Joseph, was in hospital recovering from an operation. Her uncle, Harry Isidor - a musician — was working in another town. The police warned that unless their son gave himself up to the authorities immediately the whole family would suffer.
Later that day Harry Isidor gave himself up at the police barracks. Prior to the 26th November the news leaked that the Nazis were going to round up the entire Jewish community that day, including women and children. While often described as a "German round up" Lill points out the action required widespread collaboration - Oslo's police, the State Police and the Norwegian Ministry of Justice participated in it.
But many also risked their lives to try and warn Jews. That morning the police and Gestapo returned to the family flat. All four women - Lill's grandmother and her three daughters - were at home. But Lill's mother protested. The police ordered the daughters to prove their citizenship. They produced the passports issued to them years before in Newry, following Abraham's naturalisation.
But the youngest daughter, Esther, who had been born in Norway, had no British passport. She was arrested and taken away. The photographs of the Jews at the quay can't convey the violence and fear as they were forced onto the deportation ship, the Donau. Esther and Harry Isidor - Lill's uncle and aunt - were on board that ship. It took the Donau four days to reach the Polish port of Stettin, in rough seas and in terrible conditions.
On arrival the Jews were brutally forced onto the waiting trains - each wagon, designed for cattle, was crammed full with people, without seats or even enough space to sit on the floor. Nearly 28 hours later, without food or water, the trains arrived at Auschwitz.
Within hours of arrival on December 1st, Esther was gassed, with all the other women and children in the transport. Harry Isidor, with the other men, underwent a selection procedure. Those deemed unfit for hard labour would be killed. As a disabled man who could not disguise his limp, he too was murdered on the 1st December. Of Jews who were deported from Norway, only 38 men survived the war. Altogether six million Jews were murdered, about one and a half million of them were children.
Back in Norway Lill's grandfather, Joseph, was hiding in the hospital. The doctors and nurses saved Jewish patients. They induced fevers and even rendered some unconscious so that the Nazis would not take them away. Lill has discovered the various dates the Germans arrived at the hospital to arrest her grandfather.
On 8 December, Lill's mother arrived at the hospital. Her best friend was in the Norwegian resistance and she also had contacts at the hospital. A nurse with a torch led her through a back entrance and up some stairs. She entered the ward through a side door. She collected her grandfather and another Jewish patient. They crossed the hospital grounds and passed through a hole in the fence where a car was waiting to take them away. A group of Norwegians, including an ex police officer, had organised an escape route for Jews and others in danger.
Every evening two lorries left Oslo carrying 20 fugitives, hiding under sacks and packaging. Police and guards were everywhere but somehow the escape operation worked for two months. The leader of the escape operation was present on every trip.
He spoke fluent German, knew the backroads to the border region, and managed to evade checkpoints and patrols or talk his way out of the situation if they were stopped. After a four-hour journey, in the bitter cold, they walked the last m through a forest clearing and across an unfenced stretch of the border.
Swedish border police welcomed them with hot drinks, food and warm clothes. From there they were transported to different parts of Sweden where they were safe for the rest of the war. Lill feels it extremely important to share her family's story. She frequently visits Ireland on holiday. She is drawn to the scenery and the people.
But the country means much more to her. Because of the family's time in Newry her grandparents and mother were saved from the Holocaust. Otherwise she wouldn't be here today. While she had little money, she was happy to skip meals to be able to buy tickets for concerts and the theatre.
But in , when she was 22, Austria was annexed into Nazi Germany. Edith discovered even people she knew well were declaring Nazi sympathies. In Estonia was invaded by the Soviet Union. As German passport holders, Edith, Kurt and their two young children found themselves treated as enemy aliens by the Soviet authorities. They were arrested and imprisoned. They were then transported hundreds of miles eastwards on cattle trucks across the Soviet Union, spending time in notorious prison camps in Siberia.
Edith recalled the unbearable heat and thirst of these journeys during summer. But worse still was the intense cold of the Siberian winter. The family ended up in Kazakhstan in Central Asia where they would remain for over five years. They were kept at labour camps surrounded by barbed wire and watch towers and under snow until April.
Many prisoners did not survive the harsh conditions. In May Edith greeted the news that the war had ended with jubilation and prepared to return to Vienna. But they were held in forced labour in Kazakhstan for another two years. Kurt began to correspond with family members who immediately before the war had escaped Vienna for a place called Londonderry. They part-owned an artificial flower and feather manufacturing business.
In Kurt, Edith and family secured a visa to join them. By January the family had moved to Kilkeel in the opposite corner of Northern Ireland, where Edith set up a knitting factory. At a time when women entrepreneurs were far from the norm, Edith soon employed 16 full-time staff.
The Kilkeel Knitting Mills made its own label knitwear and commissioned Arran handknits. The firm supplied prestigious stores around the world. They kept us away from the Nazis. Often in life from the darkest night comes the brightest dawn. Edith told her story in her book Surviving the Nazis, Exile and Siberia Samuel Wasserman grew up in a shtetl small village within the Pale of Settlement. The Pale was an area to the west of the Russian Empire beyond which Jews were not allowed to live without a special permit.
The shtetl of Friedrichstadt in Courland today called Jaunjelgava was less than 50 miles from the port of Riga. Samuel was conscripted into the Russian army where Jews were treated exceptionally harshly. In , he and two colleagues walked out of their barracks and went absent without leave. Samuel said goodbye to his family and escaped to England by boat with his sweetheart, Rosa Birkahn.
They married in in Manchester. The couple never saw their families again. Samuel began a shoe and boot making business. When the First World War broke out in anti-German feeling grew and the family changed their name to Waterman. The industrial city of Manchester was heavily polluted.
Neither Samuel nor Rosa enjoyed good health and they wanted to live in a cleaner, more rural environment. Rosa had cousins, the Bass family, who had been living in Downpatrick, Co. Down, before they emigrated to New York.
So, in , the Watermans arrived in Downpatrick, and set up as boot and shoemakers and repairers, S. They are believed to have moved into the former Bass family home at 3 Saul Terrace. Later they lived above the shop. The senior civil servant, Maurice Hayes, grew up near Downpatrick and remembers watching the highly skilled men sitting cross-legged in the window of the Waterman's shop as they hand-stitched quality footwear.
The family would go to synagogue in Belfast for the Jewish festivals and their kosher food had to come from the city by train. Both Solomon and Rosa are buried in the Jewish cemetery in Belfast, and Simon remembers the respect that the people of Downpatrick showed on the occasion of their funerals: "each time hundreds of people followed the hearse until it reached the outskirts of the town.
The people of the town thought a lot of us". The Waterman boys attended Southwell school. The brothers organised a Jazz band, the Wazzonians. Harry helped to organise an ambulance service in Downpatrick during the Second World War and ran first aid courses. Simon had the contract to provide food for the American troops and began to get involved with providing entertainment for them at the nearby Ballykinlar camp, with profits going to the local hospital charity.
The family gravitated to Dublin or Belfast for jobs and because they wanted to be part of a relatively large and organised Jewish community. Only Izzy stayed in Downpatrick until but, when the shoemaking business closed, he too went to Dublin. Harry Waterman was for over 30 years treasurer and secretary to the Belfast Chevra Kadisha the Burial Society and for 20 years steward and shomer inspector at the Belfast Jewish Institute.
The Down Recorder carried a two page spread on the Waterman family, 14 July Shrigley, Co. Down Saviours of a Village The model industrial village of Shrigley lies less than a mile from Killyleagh, near the shore of Strangford Lough. The village was established in the 19th century by the Martin family, with well-designed houses, a school and plenty of recreational facilities. The mill produced cotton, then linen, and grew to become one of the largest flax spinners in the world.
The demise of Irish linen in the 20th century was a catastrophe. The mill shut in which left the villagers without jobs and dependent on meagre state handouts and on charity. In the Hungry Thirties the Shrigley villagers protested at Stormont. The Utitz brothers, Alfred and Jacob, came from a family with years of experience in tanning leather.
Their factory in Czechoslovakia was placed under pressure to increase exports and the brothers were on the lookout to open an operation overseas to assist this. They were taken to see the abandoned five storey mill in Shrigley, but it was much too large for what they intended. Then Hitler intervened. Nazi Germany annexed the Sudetenland in and invaded the Czech lands in As they were Jews the factory was taken away from the Utitz family. The urgent priority for Alfred and Jacob was to get loved ones out of the country.
Their plans changed radically, and by November the old spinning mill at Shrigley was adapted and began tanning leather. As well as giving much-needed work to local people, the Utitz brothers endeavoured to help fellow Jews escape Nazi persecution by securing work permits for them. Nicholas Vermes, a tannery worker from Hungary, owed his life to receiving a letter from Killyleagh, Co.
Down in , which offered him a job at Shrigley. The first managing director of UCT was a Mr. In the late s the tannery was employing over people. His brother Gerhard worked outside Northern Ireland in charge of sales. But in the s the increase cost of the raw materials, competition and changes in fashion took their toll. In the factory closed its doors despite only a year or two earlier planning for expansion.
Poliitcal instability and violence dented foreign confidence in doing business in Northern Ireland and led some banks to withdraw credit facilities. A new tannery under international ownership opened a new chapter in the history of the village. Thanks to the work of Chris Hagan and others the remarkable contribution made by the Utitz family and fellow refugees to the people of Shrigley will not be forgotten.
Eventually there were six bus loads coming from Downpatrick alone [to work in the factory]. Thanks to Chris for generous permission to quote from his book. Steven Jaffe Saintfield, Co. They had been evacuated from the Rock because of fear of invasion. A large number living in London were dispatched across the Irish Sea for safety after the capital came under intense bombardment by V1 rockets. About of the evacuees were Jews. Camp 4, at Saintfield, was known as the Jewish camp.
Saintfield is a village about 15 miles south of Belfast. These Gibraltarian Jews were Sephardi — the name given to those who trace their descent from the Jewish communities that thrived in Spain and Portugal during the Middle Ages, but were expelled in Their Mediterranean cuisine and culture was very different from the Ashkenazi Jews of Belfast — who came from Eastern Europe and spoke Yiddish a mix of Hebrew, German and Slav languages.
The Rev. Benzimra was the spiritual leader of the Jewish evacuees from Gibraltar, and became close friends with Rabbi Shachter of Belfast. Younger evacuees remember visits to the Belfast Jewish Institute, and played football with the locals.
