My name is Barbara Steiner. I’m a therapist.
Where did the idea for your portrait’s staging and setting come from?
We didn’t have an idea. It was just a hot summer day.
How do you experience Jewish life in Berlin?
I experience Jewish life in Berlin as religiously varied, multicultural, increasingly modern. But I sometimes also miss the old Berlin Jewish community from 20 years ago, back when I moved to Berlin.
Describe your life in Berlin in three adjectives.
Traditional and at the same time eclectic, sometimes stressful.
What would your wish be for the future of Jewish life in Berlin?
More courage to express diversity. It ought to get even louder, maybe also more defiant.
