Thoughts from our editor

New beginnings: the excitement of starting something new mixes with the sadness of leaving something cherished behind. When the first flowers sprout from the ground - the first lavender crocuses, yellow daffodils, bright red tulips - our bare winter days are transformed into a blaze of colour. And yet something remains of what we will no longer have, so that we feel caught between two worlds.

Spring is always a puzzling time for me: one minute we dare to show our bare arms to the sun, the next day the old down jacket reappears!

With spring comes Passover, my favourite holiday. I remember the family seder dinners I had as a child and now enjoy the big communal seder dinners we have at Migwan.

I hope to see many of you at our community seder on the second evening of Passover, 23 April.

Other highlights are: On 12 and 13 April, our second candidate for our rabbinate, Moshe Barnett, will be joining us to lead the services.

On Sunday 21 April, our member Anna Längström will present "The unique Jewish history of Sulzburg".

On Saturday 27 April at 18:00 there will be a Mincha per Zoom led by our third candidate for our Rabbinate, Avigail Ben Dor Niv.

So there are exciting times ahead and I hope you can join us for the celebrations and services.

Kind regards,
