Posted onOctober 12, 2022November 6, 202212 Comments

After going on an excellent Jewish guided walking tour of the Marais district in the morning, I was ready for some Jewish entertainment in the evening. Fortunately, the historic Théâtre de l’Œuvre, in the 9th arrondissement, was showing a musical called Le Chat du Rabbin (The Rabbi’s Cat). Several years Read More …

Posted onOctober 2, 2022November 27, 202216 Comments

Some time ago, on a whim, I typed “7 rue des Rosiers Paris” into Google Maps, just to see the building where I had lived for two months in 1962 and for a month and a half in 1966. I was surprised to find a listing at this address for Read More …

This house in the Marais district of Paris is where I lived for two months in the autumn of 1962, and again for a month and a half in the autumn of 1966. I learned of this place from a handwritten notice that was taped to a light post nearby. Read More …

The Rabbi of Bacharach

Posted onMay 17, 2022October 2, 20224 Comments

“On the lower reaches of the Rhine, where the banks of the great river start to lose their smiling countenance, where hills and cliffs with their audacious ruined castles rise defiantly exuding a wilder and sterner dignity, there lies, like an eerie legend from a bygone era, the gloomy and Read More …

Jewish ritual bath from the year 1260

Posted onMay 15, 2022October 2, 202216 Comments

Friedberg is one of the few places in Germany where there is a well-preserved Mikwe (or Mikveh), meaning a Jewish ritual bath from the Middle Ages. The Mikwe in Friedberg was built starting in the year 1260. It is like a large square well, five and a half meters wide Read More …

History of railroads in Germany

Posted onMay 11, 2022October 13, 20229 Comments

Main Valley Tour: Marktheidenfeld to Wertheim

Posted onApril 4, 2022October 2, 20225 Comments

This street, which is called Mainkai, runs directly along the left bank of the Main River in the town of Marktheidenfeld. On this street there are several small hotels, pensions and restaurants.

The lost generation of opera composers

Posted onJanuary 11, 2022October 2, 20224 Comments

In June 2010 in the Zürich opera house I had a super box seat with some lovely people for a performance of the opera Der ferne Klang (The distant sound) by Franz Schreker (1878-1934). This is Schreker’s second opera. It had its world premiere in Frankfurt in 1912, but had Read More …
