United States Chargé d’Affaires in Iraq Joey Hood and Consul General Steve Fagin visited a traditional tomb of the novi Nochum and his sister located inside an ancient shul in Alqosh, 30 miles north of Mosul.
The city was abandoned by its Jewish population after 1948. Until then, the kever was a major pilgrimage site, particularly on Shavuos.
Hood announced an additional $500,000 in funding to preserve the historic tomb, which was in danger of collapse until the completion of initial stabilization work in January last year by the Alliance for the Restoration of Cultural Heritage.

The Museum of Jewish Heritage – A Living Memorial to the Holocaust welcomed Nobuki Sugihara for an evening in conversation with journalist Ann Curry on May 22, 2019. Sugihara’s father, Chiune Sugihara, was a Japanese diplomat serving in Lithuania when it became clear that he could – at great risk to himself and his family – grant life-saving transit visas to desperate Jews trying to flee Nazi-occupied Europe during several frantic weeks in 1940. Of the 6,000 Jews he helped rescue, he said, “They were human beings and they needed help.”

In front of an overflowing audience, Nobuki recounted his father’s extraordinary story and met with 170 “Sugihara visa” survivors and their descendants, who are alive thanks to his selfless acts.

The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews has mobilized to raise more than 1 million shekels (about $275,000) in emergency assistance for residents of moshav Mevo Modi’im, a small agricultural community west of Jerusalem near the city of Modi’in. The moshav sustained a massive fire on May 23 that destroyed at least 40 out of the community’s 50 homes.
From that, the Fellowship will be providing up to $5,000 in assistance for each family in Mevo Modi’im.
