Here some impressions from our concert that took place last weekend with an audience of more than 240 people – the hall was filled to capacity.
We have been thrilled about the enormous interest!
Leon Schwarzbaum (20 Feb 1921 – 14 Mar 2022)
Mr Schwarzbaum, whom we had the honour to call “Henry”, was the only family member to survive the concentration camps Auschwitz and Buchenwald as well as the death march.
We mourn a wonderful Mensch, an important historical figure of Germany’s history, a member of our congregation who constantly supported us and who lent a Torah to our community.
In an interview with Volker Schlöndorff he had answered as one of the last contemporary witnesses a huge number of questions that were collected and sent to him by students of schools in Hesse on Henry’s request. The resulting documentary movie is a very impressive conversation. Henry’s commitment to peace is of huge importance.
In addition to all that, Henry was an incredibly interesting and humorous conversation partner, a musician who could sing all the songs in his mother tongue Yiddish, an art connoisseur and inspiring narrator, a real gentleman, an admirable Mensch who stayed young until his final days.
We are fortunate and grateful to have known Henry and we will forever lovingly remember him.
We invite you to our next event in cooperation with Limmud:
Друзья, даже в самые страшные времена наш еврейский народ хранил традиции. Через тысячелетия пронесли их наши предки и передали нам. Духовные маяки нашего народа всегда освещали нам путь! Одним из таких маяков является Пурим.
Поэтому проект „Перспектива“ Прогрессивной Еврейской Общины Михельсберг г. Висбаден решил при поддержке Лиммуд ФСУ не нарушать наших традиций и сейчас, в ужасно тяжёлое время.
Именно сейчас есть смысл в том, чтобы собраться, почувствовать нашу общность, поддеpжать друг друга, обсудить насущное, вспомнить о том, что помогло нашим предкам в тяжёлые моменты их жизни. Именно в дни Пурима стоит поговорить о праведниках и злодеях, о спасении и попытаться понять, что это сейчас значит
для нас.
Мы приглашаем Вас и Ваших друзей на лекцию-беседу замечательного автора , философа и лектора Константина Консона на тему „Духовные маяки еврейского народа: Пурим“, которая состоится практически у Вас дом а, у Вашего компьютера или телефона 15.03.2022 в 20.00 по Берлинскому времени.
После лекции мы приглашаем Вас послушать короткий, но захватывающий рассказ профессора доктора Германа Немировского „Пурим“.
Будем очень рады встретиться с Вами онлайн.

For many days now we are living through an awful time. The war waged by the Russian Army against Ukraine has shaken us to the core.
In our thoughts, we are with the people that are in Ukraine, that are fighting for their country or that had to leave their homeland.
Many members and friends of our congregation are worrying about the loved ones in Ukraine, who have lost their homes, are without heating and hot water, who are sleeping in their basement or in subway stations, who lack food, medication and everything else needed for their livelihood. They are worried for their children and at the same time bravely defending their country Ukraine. Many women and children are seeking refuge.
Some of our members are providing shelter for their relatives from Ukraine. Others are sending support to Ukraine like medication, money and other supplies urgently in need.
We help where we can.
But we are also proud of our relatives and friends in Russia who are risking everything to protest against the war. We support them as well, financially and with important information that otherwise is kept secret and banned in Russia.
Since many of our members have originally come from Ukraine, Belarus and Russia, we are able to offer various kinds of help to all refugees from Ukraine, e.g.
Additionally, we can offer transport from the Polish border.
