The main Jewish old age home in Sydney was named after Sir Moses Montefiore who devoted his time and resources to the community, civic affairs and welfare of the Jewish People. It opened its doors in 1889. The main Jewish old age home in Melbourne, also named for Montefiore, is even bigger and even more important.<br /><br />But I had not heard of the Livorno connection. So thanks.Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6821462867739969178.post-12956404863317362602010-05-19T11:53:23.369+02:002010-05-19T11:53:23.369+02:00Very interesting subject!What a beautiful homage f...Very interesting subject!What a beautiful homage for this important man.<br />That windmill is adorable, I loved those stones :)<br />LéiaCezar and Léiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14408385000169533010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6821462867739969178.post-26835720472929461312010-05-19T09:58:27.178+02:002010-05-19T09:58:27.178+02:00Oh this is good!
