I'd like to introduce Fiona Frank, one of the founders of the Lancaster & Lakes Jewish community.
Recently she's been taking time to travel around Europe, taking in different Events and cultural experiences... and recording a personal podcast as she travelled.
I wanted to bring you one particular one, recorded when Fiona visited Weimar in the former East Germany.
Weimar was home to the Bauhaus movement founded by Kandinsky, Paul Klee and Walter Gropius
Before that it was known as the birthplace of Weimar Classicism, a literary humanistic movement of the writers Goethe and Schiller.
But there was also a darker side to Weimar... the city had a Nazi government 2 years before Hitler came to power, and Buchenwald concentration camp is 11 km down the road.
But in today's modern Europe, Weimar is trying to put itself back on the positive cultural map. Yiddish Summer Workshops and Festival was established in 1999. Fiona met with its founder and Director Alan Bern
