Join us (virtually) in the tropical climes of southeast Asia to celebrate our new issue, in which we explore Jewish Singapore. Discover the mahallah (Jewish quarter), where Baghdadi merchants settled in the 19th century; hear how the present-day community has become a thriving hub for Jewish life in southeast Asia; learn about the exotic flavours that influence Jewish cooking in the region; and much more. Guest speakers feature Jay Prosser, author and lecturer at the University of Leeds; artist and art therapist Chloë Manasseh; and Adam Neale, president of the United Hebrew Congregation in Singapore.
