Jewish life is not only an important part of our historical heritage. Today, it is also a vital part of many communities and institutions throughout Bavaria! At the same time however, we have to realize that anti-Semitism with different backgrounds and in many forms threatens this Jewish life and thus our community. The commitment for Jewish life and against anti-Semitism is the core of my mission.
On my website you will find information about my office and my tasks, about events and our public relations. You are welcome to contact my office with your concerns and suggestions.
