מגרמניה הנאצית לירושלים: בגיל 102 וולטר בינגהם רוקד בשמחת תורה

הערכה

Walter Bingham, a 102 year old man who fled Nazi Germany, danced on Simchat Torah in Jerusalem this year with a child roughly a century younger. His personal memory of celebrating the holiday in hiding under Nazi rule gives a concrete, lived dimension to a story that usually stays abstract. The image of him standing under a tallit with dozens of children connects a single human timeline to a much longer communal one, without needing to spell it out.
