Two articles relating to Belgium and England caught my eye this evening. The first was regarding a Jewish Hagaddah which was smuggled out of Belgium, that was found in a garage in England.
The second is about Britain's Peter Higgs and Francois Englert of Belgium winning the Nobel prize for physics.
An 18th Century Jewish manuscript found in a garage during a house clearance is expected to fetch a six-figure sum.

Tel Aviv University Professor Francois Englert won the 2013 Nobel Prize in physics on Tuesday, along with his research partner Peter Higgs for predicting the existence of the Higgs boson particle that explains how elementary matter attained the mass to form stars and planets.
Englert, a Belgian Jew, 80-year-old Holocaust survivor and husband to an Israeli woman, is a professor emeritus at the Free University of Brussels and has had strong research ties with TAU for the past thirty years.
