I am living in Australia and am making a trip to the States in July. My parents are buried in the Jewish cemetery in Santa Rosa, near San Francisco, and I want to go and visit their graves. I think the address of the cemetery in Santa Rosa is Franklyn Street, but need your help to confirm this information that I have. 

Their names are [Mother] (1987) and [Father] (2002).

I would really appreciate your help in this matter as I was not at their funerals and this visit for me is the closure that I need.

I look forward to hearing from you and any available photos would be great.

Please can my husband and I see the synagogues at the Chinese Bazaar in Kalkutta.  We are here on holiday from the UK and made it to Synagogue  Street on foot from here but no one knew where you were! We really tried and looked down every little alley way but had to give up.

We are staying at the Oberoi Grand Hotel however tomorrow, on Friday, we are going on a boat trip for a week down the Hoogley river.  We will be back at this hotel next Friday lunchtime  28th March but will leave first thing on 29th.  So, if it is possible, can someone show us on or both of the Synagogues pm on 28th?

Thank you so much

P.s.  There is some wifi on the boat but it is intermittent so, if you leave a message it might take a while to reply.  You can try my mobile which will cost a bit - but here it is - you could text if you want to leave a message 07870 ??????.

We visiting the Grand Choral Synagogue while in St. Petersburg a few weeks ago

as part of a Jewish Heritage Tour from our ship the Mariana/Oceania cruise line.

I bought some small.. colorful dreidels at the gift shop IN the synagogue and was

wondering if I could purchase a few more and have them shipped to me in New Jersey, USA?

I would be happy to pay for them in advance by credit card. Would this be possible?

Would you like a picture of the dreidels? I could forward them to you. I assume your gift shop

(which we didn't have time to visit) is the same/similar as the one in the shul. 

Please let me know.

Thank you very much,
