Singapore // A haven in the tropics
For our summer issue join us in the tropical climes of Singapore, where we uncover the special Jewish community who's made this island their home. Explore the mahallah (Jewish quarter), where Baghdadi spice merchants settled in the 19th century, hear the little-known stories of those interned during World War II, and discover the rich layers of culture – and food – that make up this distinctive society. In other features, we shine a light on the future for French Jews at this politically critical time; look at how Jewish and Israeli artists are faring in the polarised climate post-7 October; delve into the controversy over Roald Dahl's antisemitism as a new play on the author opens in London; and enjoy a rollercoaster ride through the work of radical feminist American artist Judy Chicago. Plus three months of Jewish arts listings across the UK, Europe and Israel.
