Budapest Stories http://blogs.jta.org/ENTRY_PERMALINK_HERE/budapest-stories/ After the Vienna train debacle, I finally managed to check into my hotel in Budapest after 10:00 Thursday. This is my third time here, and each time I’ve stayed at the King’s Hotel. It’s in the Jewish quarter, just down the street from the massive Dohany synagogue, the largest in Eastern Europe, convenient to much of what I plan to do here, and, well what can I say, I’m a creature of habit. But every time I mention where I’m staying to anyone Jewish and under 35, the eyes start to roll.  en-us bharris@jta.org Copyright 2009 2009-11-02T;17:49:00-05:00 Comment by Joel Katz joelakatz@gmail.com “It struck me as a strange arrangement. Do school districts in the U.S. or Western Europe allow non-profits with their own pedagogical and educational agendas to peddle them in public classrooms?” I know of one country that allows non-profits with their own agendas to ‘peddle’ them in public classrooms. Israel. “It struck me as a strange arrangement.
