  • The Jews of China: Harbin (part three)

    The Jews of China: Harbin (part three)
    2026/02/25
    If Beijing was the beginning of the journey, Harbin is where memory takes hold.

    In the third episode of our China series, we arrive in Harbin—the unlikely northern city that became home to one of the most vibrant Jewish communities of the 20th Century. In the 1920s and 1930s, more than 30,000 Jews lived here, creating a full and flourishing Jewish world far from Europe: synagogues and bakeries, hospitals and soup kitchens, schools, businesses, and cultural life.

    But the story of Harbin’s Jews is not only about survival or community—it is also about transformation. These Russian- and Eastern European-born Jews were among the driving forces that helped turn Harbin from a remote outpost into an industrial and commercial powerhouse, shaping the city’s modern identity.

    In this episode, we walk in their footsteps. We visit the physical remnants of Jewish Harbin: a former synagogue, the old commercial center, a historic hotel, and the Jewish cemetery. Each site is layered with absence and presence, silence and echoes.

    The journey becomes deeply personal as seven Israelis—children of Harbin Jews—return to the city their parents once called home. For some, it is a first visit. For all, it is an emotional reckoning. There are tears. There is laughter. And there is the powerful realization that Harbin is not just a chapter in Jewish history—it is a hometown.

    This is a story of belonging in unexpected places.
    Of loss, legacy, and return.
    Of where our parents walked—and where their footsteps still linger.

    David was the guest of the the China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation and the Chinese Enterprises Association in Israel.

  • Medieval magic & farmyard feasts: discovering rural Bavaria

    Medieval magic & farmyard feasts: discovering rural Bavaria
    2026/02/09
    Bavaria is more than just Oktoberfest. In this episode, we leave the big cities behind and head deep into rural Bavaria, where alpine beer huts perch on mountain slopes and medieval towns hide centuries of stories behind their cobblestone streets. It’s a land where tradition meets hospitality, and every corner seems to hold a surprise.Along the way, we roll up our sleeves on an organic farm, meeting the pigs, sheep, and chickens that call it home. We learn the old-fashioned art of making butter, twist our own brezels, and, of course, sample Bavaria’s world-famous brews. Join us for a journey that blends history, flavor, and a touch of Alpine magic.

    This time:
    * From breakdown to breathtaking: hiking the Alps
    * Tongue-twisters and tasty wheels
    * The beer capital you’ve never heard of
    * Landsberg am Lech: where history hugs the river
    * Behind bars, Hitler picked up his pen
    * How to get there, what's kosher and FAQs galore
    * Meet the pigs living the good life
    * Baaad move: the great sheep escape
    * From cream to gold: churning our own butter
    * Learning the twisty art of brezels (and maybe a challah)

    Mark and David were guests of the German National Tourist Board.
