"Attacks on #synagogues are treated as part of a broader problem, but all too often, attacks on #Jewish-owned, #kosher, and #Israeli #restaurants are treated as isolated incidents.

Unlike synagogues, #schools, and #communitycenters, Jewish or Israeli-related restaurants and #cafes have no protection. They are no less visible targets, representing #Jewry in broader society, but lack the armed guards or police protection that have become ubiquitous across #Europe and #NorthAmerica. Private citizens are left to bear the cost, having their dreams crushed by constant #protests and #vandalism."

The image depicts a black-and-white scene with six men outside what seems to be an entrance, possibly of a communal or cultural building. The doorway has decorative elements such as carved figures above it. In front of the door stands one man in casual attire and another partially visible behind him wearing dark clothing.

To the right side of the frame, three men sit on wooden benches against a wall adorned with circular decorations at the top. They are dressed formally or semi-formally; two wear hats indicative of traditional Māori headwear known as "korowai," while one is in a suit and tie. The man farthest to the right wears glasses.

Behind them, a banner hangs on what appears to be a window frame with symbols such as crescent moons, crosses, plus signs, and letters spelling out "+WI." This suggests an affiliation or celebration related to Ringatu, which has cultural significance in New Zealand's Māori community. The setting is outdoors during daylight.

The photograph captures the essence of camaraderie among these individuals amidst a moment seemingly connected with their cultural heritage.

The image depicts a young man dancing with enthusiasm. He is wearing a sleeveless vest over a long-sleeve shirt, and jeans. His hair is styled in an afro-like fashion that adds to his energetic demeanor as he waves one hand while the other appears relaxed by his side. The photo is taken at night outside of what seems to be a public event or gathering, indicated by several individuals walking behind him dressed casually with neutral expressions on their faces and focused forward. There are no discernible colors due to the black-and-white quality of the photograph but it captures clear contrasts between light sources like overhead lamps and shadows cast upon the subjects' bodies. The photo has an authentic feel capturing a candid moment from what could possibly be a cultural event given its setting at Maori Community Centre as mentioned in your additional information source link ( https://images.loener.nl/AnsWestra/full/6690/6690f49c3c8dcd5ca3a70780.jpg ).

The image captures a historical scene featuring individuals in what appears to be traditional attire, engaged in some form of cultural or ceremonial activity. The setting is marked by intricate wooden carvings with Maori tribal motifs on the wall behind them, indicating that this event may have taken place at Turangawaewae marae, located in Ngaruawahia.

In the foreground, two women stand prominently; one wears a dark dress and holds what seems to be a microphone or horn-like instrument close to her mouth. The other woman is dressed similarly but with an apron and has raised both hands while looking upwards as if she's singing or chanting passionately.

Behind them are several more individuals who seem amused by the scene, including a man in clerical garb holding what looks like a walking stick, adding another layer of cultural diversity to this gathering. The attire varies from traditional Maori clothing to Western-style suits and dresses, suggesting an inclusive environment where different traditions coalesce for an event.

The black-and-white nature of the photo hints at it being taken many decades ago, reflecting on how such events were documented during that period. Overall, the image provides a glimpse into historical cultural practices with elements of Maori tradition prominently displayed against this marae backdrop in 1964.

The image is a black and white photograph capturing the lively atmosphere of a dance event. In the center, there's a man who appears to be leading the dancing with his arms raised in a welcoming gesture. He seems to be enjoying himself, with a wide smile on his face. Surrounding him are other people engaged in various dance moves; some appear to be clapping their hands while others may be following along with the man at the center. The setting appears to be an indoor space, possibly a gymnasium or community hall, given the concrete floor and industrial ceiling visible in the background. The image conveys a sense of joyful communal activity, showcasing the spirit of dance as a shared experience among participants.
