JR Haggadah // Stepping from shade into sunshine

We have a special treat for you in this issue! We invited poets, artists and photographers to interpret the Passover story in an original way, the beautiful results of which you can see in our Long Read. We also journey to Hong Kong to uncover the territory's rich Jewish history and meet some Jewish residents living and working there today. Inevitably, we also turn our attention to Ukraine, reflecting on the exciting literature and art produced there before the war. Elsewhere, Louise Ellman speaks to the writer of new play Red Ellen, about the radical MP who supported Jewish refugees in World War II; we discover a pioneering initiative bringing together musicians and residents of a Jewish Care home; plus much more.
