Issue 21

Welcome to the 21st edition of Perspectives Magazine, embracing the act of reflection as we enter the High Holy Day season. Amidst the chaos, we offer a glimpse of hope through the personal and collective experiences of the Jewish people over the past year, highlighting important stories that emphasize unbelievable resilience, courage and unity.

This edition features an exclusive cover interview with Eylon Levy, who provides critical insight into shaping Israel’s narrative during these turbulent times. We also honour those affected by this ongoing conflict in our special One Year On section by reflecting on the many faces of this battle including the soldiers on the ground risking everything, the families left behind and Jewish individuals and communities worldwide facing a surge in violent antisemitism. As we prepare for the year ahead, we invite you to immerse yourself in our High Holy Day content, with articles (and a beautiful guide) designed to be your companion from Rosh Hashanah, through Sukkot and finally, many powerful ideas to help us as we prepare to dance on Simchat Torah again. As ever, enjoy our features on food, wellness and culture—connecting us all through shared traditions and new stories.
