Jewish Museum in Prague - Old Jewish Cemetery (Židovské muzeum - Starý židovský hřbitov)
This one was created in the first half of the 15th century. On this cemetery was buried until 1787. The most famous figure in the Old Jewish Cemetery is undoubtedly the great religious scholar and educator Rabbi Yehuda Liwa ben Becalel, known under the name of Rabbi Löw (he died in 1609), whose character is also connected with the legend about the artificially created figure of Golem .
Old Jewish Cemetery - Jewish Museum
It is the third known Jewish burial site on the area of Prague. The oldest Jewish cemetery on the territory of the city of Prague probably lay on the site of today's Míšeňská street (some authors are of the opinion that it was in the Újezd area.) The second medieval Jewish cemetery (called Jewish Garden) was in the area of later New Town at Wyschehrad-way. Probably, buried here was from the 13th century until the year 1478, when Wladislaus II, who was put under pressure by the citizens of the New Town, the cemetery had abolished. Gravestone fragments with chronologies from the second half of the 14th century were found in the year 1866 during the construction of the House for National Education (Měšťanská beseda) in Wladislaus Street (Vladislavova) and moved to the Old Jewish Cemetery.
This one was apparently founded at the turn of the 14th to the 15th century. The oldest preserved tombstone dates back to 1439. The cemetery was extended several times by the acquisition of the surrounding grounds. It has not been buried here since 1787, when it was forbidden by Joseph II to use burial grounds in the middle of the inhabited districts. The Jewish main burial-site then was transferred to the former Plague pit at Žižkov. At the reconstruction of the district of Josefov in 1903, the Jewish community was forced to abandon a part of the cemetery to the extension of a new road (today's 17th listopadu road). Exhumated remains were placed in another part of the cemetery on the elevation of Nefel in front of the Klaus synagogue, where small children under one month were buried at the beginning of the 18th century. During the refurbishment, the funeral brotherhood had built a new ceremonial hall in the Romanesque style based on the project by architect J. Gerstel which was only used until the beginning of the twenties of the twentieth century for its purpose.
The Old Jewish Cemetery contains 12,000 gravestones, but mortal remains here were buried much more. Many tombstones sank deeply into the sublayer and further especially wooden graves over time broke down. Because religious traditions forbade the Jews of handling old graves and the property could no longer meet their needs, over and over again new layers of ground were driven to the cemetery and the old tombstones were raised into higher layers, possibly stacking up to 12 layers one above the other and in many places arose the characteristic accumulation of tombstones from different centuries side by side. For the cemetery took car for several centuries the Burial Brotherhood of Prague which also began with the systematic elaboration of the tomb inscriptions.
At the turn of the 16th to the 17th century, on the original simple tombstones plastic symbols and signs of families, names, estates and professions appear. In the baroque period there emerges often a so-called quadruple umbe (small house). Prague is the only place in Europe where some of them have been preserved. One of the Renaissance baroque sarcophagi covers the tomb of the most important thinker of the Prague ghetto and the primate of the Talmun school, Rabbi Jehuda Löw. The patron of the Prague ghetto and the primate of the Jewish community, Mordechei Meiselhere, here has a Renaissance tomb. On many tombstones there are symbols emanating from the Jewish tradition, e.g., a grape (symbol of fertility and wisdom), a money box (charity symbol), or the six-pointed david star. To the origin and family of the deceased belong, for example, blessing hands (descendents of the church priests, a pot with a bowl or musical instruments (descendents of the helpers from the tribe of the Levites, further, animal symbols as well as personal and family names (lion, wolf, goose, cock, etc.) and tool-reliefs as a professional emblem (mortar - pharmacists, violin - musician, etc.). Apart from the basic information, the texts also contain various eulogies and other interesting information about the dead person. The date of death and burial is sometimes expressed by the so-called chronostichon (Hebrew expresses numbers by letters according to their ranking in the alphabet) according to the Jewish chronology, which is around 3760 older than the bourgeois chronology.
In the cemetery there grow maples, chestnut trees, acacias and elderberry bushes.
The Old Jewish Cemetery has been a folk cultural monument since 1995.
Jüdisches Museum in Prag – Alter jüdischer Friedhof (Židovské muzeum – Starý židovský hřbitov)
Dieser wurde in der ersten Hälfte des 15. Jahrhunderts angelegt. Auf diesem Freidhof wurde bis zum Jahre 1787 bestattet. Die bekannteste Persönlichkeit auf dem Alten Jüdischen Friedhof ist ohne Zweifel der große Religionsgelehrte und Pädagoge Rabbi Jehuda Liwa ben Becalel, bekannt unter dem Namen Rabbi Löw (er starb im Jahre 1609), mit dessen Gestalt auch die Legende um die künstlich erschaffene Gestalt Golem verbunden ist.
Alter Jüdischer Friedhof – Jüdisches Museum
Er ist die dritte bekannte Judenbegräbnisstätte auf dem Gebiet Prags. Der älteste Jüdische Friedhof auf dem Gebiet der Stadt Prag lag wahrscheinlich an der Stelle der heutigen Míšeňská-Straße (einige Autoren sind der Meinung, dass er sich im Újezd-Raum befand. Der zweite mittelalterliche Jüdische Friedhof (Jüdischer Garten genannt) war auf dem Gebiet der späteren Neustadt am Wyschehrad-Weg. Es wurde hier wahrscheinlich vom 13. Jahrhundert bis zum Jahr 1478 begraben, als der von den Neustädtern unter Druck gesetzte Wladislaus II. den Friedhof auflösen ließ. Grabsteinfragmente mit Zeitrechnungen aus der 2. Hälfte des 14. Jahrhunderts wurden im Jahre 1866 beim Aufbau des Bürgerlichen Volksbildungshauses (Měšťanská beseda) in der Wladislaus-Straße (Vladislavova) gefunden und in den Alten Jüdischen Friedhof verlagert.
Dieser wurde offenbar an der Wende vom 14. zum 15 Jahrhundert gegründet. Der älteste erhaltene Grabstein stammt aus dem Jahr 1439. Der Friedhof wurde durch den Zukauf der herumliegenden Grundstücke mehrere Male erweitert. Es wurde hier seit 1787 nicht mehr beerdigt, als durch den Erlass von Joseph II. verboten wurde, Begräbnisstätten inmitten der bewohnten Stadtteile zu nutzen. Die jüdische Hauptbegräbnisstädte wurde dann in den einstigen Pestfriedhof auf Žižkov verlagert. Bei der Sanierung des Viertels Josefov wurde 1903 die jüdische Gemeinde gezwungen, einen Friedhofteil an den Ausbau eines neuen Verkehrswegs abzutreten (die heutige 17. listopadu-Straße). Exhumierte Überreste wurden in einem anderen Friedhofteil auf der Erhöhung Nefel vor der Klaus-Synagoge platziert, wo Anfang des 18. Jahrhunderts kleine Kinder unter 1 Monat beigesetzt wurden. Während der Sanierung ließ die Bestattungsbruderschaft anhand des Projekts vom Architekten J. Gerstel eine neue Zeremonienhalle im neuromanischen Stil bauen, die nur bis zum Beginn der 20er Jahre des 20. Jahrhunderts zu ihrem Zweck genutzt wurde.
Der Alte Jüdische Friedhof enthält 12000 Grabsteine, Überreste wurden hier aber deutlich mehr beigesetzt. Viele Grabsteine sanken tief in die Unterschichten ein und weitere vor allem Holzgrabmale gingen im Laufe der Zeit kaputt. Weil religiöse Traditionen den Juden untersagen, alte Gräber zu handhaben und das Grundstück den Bedürfnissen nicht mehr genügen konnte, wurden auf den Friedhof immer wieder neue Schichten Erdboden gefahren und die alten Grabsteine in höhere Schichten gehoben, wodurch sich vielleicht bis zu 12 Schichten übereinander anhäuften und an vielen Stellen entstand die charakteristische Ansammlung von Grabsteinen aus verschiedenen Jahrhunderten nebeneinander. Um den Friedhof kümmerte sich über ganze Jahrhunderte lang die Prager Bestattungsbruderschaft, die auch mit der systematischen Aufarbeitung der Grabaufschriften begann.
An der Wende vom 16. zum 17. Jahrhundert lassen sich auf den ursprünglich einfachen Grabsteinen plastische Symbole und Zeichen von Geschlechtern, Namen, Ständen und Berufen sehen. In der Barockzeit kommt öfters eine gewisse Vierflachtumbe (Häuslein). Prag ist der einzige Ort in Europa, wo sich einige erhielten. Einer der Renaissancebarocksarkophage deckt das Grab des bedeutendsten Denkers des Prager Ghettos und des Rektors der Talmundschule Rabbi Jehuda Löw. Eine Renaissancetumbe hat hier der Mäzen des Prager Ghettos und der Primas der Prager Judengemeinde Mordechei Meisel. Auf vielen Grabsteinen stehen aus der jüdischen Tradition hervorgehende Symbole, z.B. eine Weintraube (Fruchtbarkeits- und Weisheitssymbol), eine Sparbüchse (Wohltätigkeitssymbol) oder der sechszackige Davidstern. Zur Herkunft und zum Geschlecht des Gestorbenen gehören z.B. segnende Hände (Nachkommen der Kirchenpriester), eine Kanne mit einer Schüssel oder Musikinstrumente (Nachkommen der Helfer aus dem Stamm der Leviten), weiter Tiersymbole wie Personen- oder Familiennamen (Löwe, Wolf, Gans, Hahn, usw.) und Werkzeugreliefe als Berufsymbol (Mörser - Apotheker, Geige - Musiker, usw.). Die Texte tragen außer den Grundangaben auch vielfältige Lobreden und andere interessante Angaben über den Toten. Das Todes- oder Beisetzungsdatum wird manchmal durch den sog. Chronostich (Hebräisch äußert Zahlen durch Buchstaben nach deren Rangfolge im Alphabet) je nach Judenzeitrechnung geäußert, die um 3760 älter ist als die bürgerliche Zeitrechnung.
Auf dem Friedhof wachsen Ahorne, Kastanienbäume, Akazien und Holunderbeerensträucher.
Der Alte Jüdische Friedhof ist seit 1995 ein Volkskulturdenkmal.

O garibaldi é uma ave passeriforme da família Icteridae, anteriormente classificado como Agelaius ruficapillus na família Emberizidae. Também conhecido por dó-ré-mi, pássaro-do-arroz, papa-arroz (Natal/RN), chupim-do-nabo, chapéu-de-couro (SP), casaca (PI), corda-negra (PE, agreste e sertão da PB), rinchão, e godelo (MG). É uma ave caçada e cobiçada por gaioleiros.
Seu nome significa: do (grego) Khrusus, Khrusõma = ouro forjado; feito de ouro (latim) rufus = vermelho; capillus= coroado; cabelo da cabeça. (dourado com coroa vermelha). Obs: o garibaldi macho, jovem tem as penas cor de bronze e apresenta a coroa castanha.
Características
Tamanho: 17,5 centímetros de comprimento.
Cores: O macho apresenta plumagem negra, tendo a coroa, a garganta e o peito em vermelho fosco (pardo). Dependendo da iluminação e a distância, em que o pássaro se encontrar, as partes vermelhas não são visíveis e a ave parece totalmente negra, chegando a ser confundida com o tiê-preto, com a graúna e com o vira-bosta. A fêmea apresenta plumagem pardo-olivácea, com barriga e lado superior estriados de negro e pardacento-claro; sendo difícil de ser identificada, salvo, quando está próxima ao macho.
Canto: Seu canto é agradável e melodioso. É um dos sons mais típicos dos brejos e banhados brasileiros; consiste em assobios que lembram o da graúna, seguidos de um trinado muito intenso, característico da espécie.
Subespécies
Possui duas subespécies conhecidas:
C. r. ruficapillus - É a subespécie descrita acima. Sul da Bolívia, Sudeste e Sul do Brasil, Uruguai, Paraguai e Argentina.
C. r. frontalis - Ocorre no Nordeste e centro do Brasil, Amapá, Pará e Guiana Francesa. Extremamente semelhante à anterior, mas pode-se distinguir por ter marcações mais fracas e, especialmente na fronte, um tom de castanho mais brilhante.
Alimentação
Alimenta-se basicamente de frutas, sementes, grãos e pequenos artrópodes (besouros, aranhas, grilos, gafanhotos, lagartas e larvas). Aprecia arroz com casca.
Reprodução
Seu ninho, em forma de tigela, é geralmente construído entre as folhas de taboas. Os ovos, cerca de três, são levemente azulados com pequenas manchas escuras.
Hábitos
Vive nas paisagens úmidas, banhados e brejos, em bandos numerosos.
São aves fortemente associadas a água. Pode se tornar pragas agrícolas, especialmente em lavouras de arroz alagado.

Nail sizes left to right
1. 2 inches
2. 3 1/4 inches
3. The nail set is 5 inches long.
4. The spike is 6 inches long
Additional tools that are very useful are:
1. A quilter's fiberglass tape with both inch and cm scales;
2. a set of dividers with sharp metal points;
3. A calculator with trig functions -- on your smartphone?
4. A black 'Sharpie' permanent marker with a fine point;
5. An 8 inch spike for making extra large holes;
Additional supplies:
1. Well insulated gloves;
2. Long handled pliers, preferably with an offset;
3. A fire proof quenching pail or pot;
4. Starter -- either 91% isopropyl alcohol or wood fire starting gel -- not fire pit fuel;
5. small jar or can for preparing starter;
6. Funnel and small sieve for making alcohol soaked wood pellet starter;
7. Electronic kitchen scale that will measure in grams and will calculate a tare.
8. A can opener that leaves no sharp edges.
Optional supplies:
A. Marshmallows;
B. Small hot dogs or sausages.
To start the pyrolysis, I use a One Match Gelled Fire Starter. Not too much. I drizzle some around the outer edges and criss cross the center. Starts with one match.
For larger iCans, such as those made from 3lbs Costco coffee cans, I use wood pellets soaked for two minutes in 91% isopropyl alcohol. I carefully drain ALL of the alcohol off the pellets before I sprinkle them on top of the wood pellets I use as a consistent test feed stock. You do not want alcohol starter to leak down into the feed stock as that will cause the pyrolysis zone to be uneven. The goal is to create a flat, shallow, and even pyrolysis zone that works its way down from the TOP, as in top lit, to the bottom.
As you progress in your work with iCans, you will see they offer a modular approach to a range of problems. I have one set of modules for grilling and frying. Another for boiling water, and another for converting a Weber grill into a Char-B-Que that harvests charcoal rather than burn it. I have not bought a lick of charcoal in several years.
