Some clarity on my sentiments…

I just wanted to write a follow-up peice to my blog post about an independent Crimean Republic. I am very upset about what the Russian Army has done in Eastern Europe and ideally they would leave – and give Crimea back to Ukraine along with everything else. Yet, the reason I suggested this compromise is that America is no longer sending a significant amount of funding to the Ukrainian Military.

This cut in funding from the United States, combined with China’s military support, significantly changes the equation for peace in Eastern Europe, in my opinion. I pray Zelenskyy and Putin can come to terms that each can accept.

A great deal of blood and treasure has been spent on both sides, and the toll only continues to grow. We need to be doing more to stabilize all the conflicts raging around the Globe. The World needs to come together to end war and focus on cleaning up the environment. I am pleased I have been learning more about servicing hybrid and electric vehicles. It would be so nice to come together and clean up the The Great Pacific Garbage Patch instead of killing each other.

The Old B’nai Jeshurun Temple

I have been visiting historic places around the New York City area and found an old gem in Newark, NJ – the original B’NAI JESHURUN Temple. The congregation has since moved, yet this temple was built in 1848. I decided to do some drawings and watercolors of it as a subject. I have also started signing my artwork as “magiczyn” instead of “magick”, due to my namesake and grandfather coming to Brooklyn from Warsaw at 2 years old in 1928.
