Hi Jonathan,
I`ve been thinking of you several times. Glad to see you haven`t changed. During the past weeks and months I`ve occasionally added my nonsense to Haaretz talkback, but there were only few people I had the will and desire to convince them about it as much as I liked to do in your case.
Indeed, I remember the Jewish community in Francfort is heavily protected. Some years ago, during a university course in language education in Marburg, I was interested in observing a Hebrew course in the Jewish elementary school in Francfort and the secretary of the VHS gave me the phone number of a teacher that after a while I even managed to reach by phone. But it was such an adventure to already get past the doorman and I felt so external and "naked" (since you mention that fig leaf) that I didn`t finally dare asking what I was actually interested in and gave it up altogether. The feeling of being a visitor and a stranger might be reciprocal to some extent, depending of different things |
