Penguin (restaurant)
Penguin (Hebrew: פינגווין; German: Pinguin) was the oldest restaurant in Nahariya and one of Israel's oldest surviving restaurants. It was located on the Ga'aton Boulevard, opposite the Ga'aton River. The cuisine was Israeli with German influences. Its signature dish was the Schnitzel#Israel, chicken schnitzel. The restaurant was continuously family owned and operated. History Penguin was founded as a 1940 kiosk by Ernst Oppenheimer, who arrived in 1936 from Offenbach am Main, Germany and initially tried to make a living by farming. It was named after Penguin Books. Penguin developed into a restaurant and bar that was popular with the German immigrants of Nahariya and, until 1948, with the British Mandate soldiers. In the 2010s the restaurant was managed by Amir Oppenheimer, a great-grandson of the founder. The restaurant closed on 26 December 2022. Its area, by now precious real-estate, will be redeveloped.

The history of the Jews in Germany goes back at least to the year 321, and continued through the Early Middle Ages (5th to 10th centuries CE) and High Middle Ages (''circa'' 1000–1299 CE) when Jewish immigrants founded the Ashkenazi Jewish community. The community survived under Charlemagne, but suffered during the Crusades. Accusations of well poisoning during the Black Death (1346–53) led to mass slaughter of German Jews and they fled in large numbers to Poland. The Jewish communities of the cities of Mainz, Speyer and Worms became the center of Jewish life during medieval times. "This was a golden age as area bishops protected the Jews resulting in increased trade and prosperity." The First Crusade began an era of persecution of Jews in Germany. Entire communities, like those of Trier, Worms, Mainz and Cologne, were slaughtered. The Hussite Wars became the signal for renewed persecution of Jews.
