Issue 6

In this issue of Perspectives, the magazine of Aish UK, we are travelling the world. Having been scattered across all four corners of the earth for more than two millennia, the Jewish people would certainly be a worthy case study for being the world’s global people. Even remote communities have maintained strong networks before the advent of the internet and have, amazingly, retained a strong sense of identity, despite the threat of global homogeneity.

Check out the Jewish education section which, as always, aims to discuss topics that are relevant, informative and purposeful. Will we soon be able to eat a ‘Kosher Cheeseburger’? How does the Torah understand the world’s ‘Refugee Crisis’? What is the ‘Festival of Trees’ all about? Food expert and Director of Ta’am, Ilana Epstein, takes us on a journey to her home town of New York to discover the flavours of the New York deli. Check out our new ‘Community’ section featuring one outstanding individual from the community and one organisation doing a fantastic job getting people back into work. For kids, have a look at our new comic strip and Tu B’shvat themed colouring pages!
