ENGLISH
My Review of the Amy Film about Amy Winehouse was published today in the German Jewish newspaper Juedische Allgemeine. In it I write it pulls you along, even if you did not know her that much, like on a helter skelter without happy end. In my opinion a must see, because of the fact that she was in ramp light of and the laughing stock of the world. The movie reveals hard and challenging details, including about the way we consume media.
Contrary to other reports, I feel that her parents were quite ordinary people, evidently at times helpless and clumsy with both Amy Winehouse personal problems, as well as the later intensity of her stardom.
The film suggests rather thaat those who tried to make the most of her career financially, most of all her second manager Raye Cosbert operated potentially reckless with regard to her integrity and well being.

Die Y-Wort Debatte (Sonntaz) – The debate about that Y-Word
DEUTSCH:
Der Fussballverein Tottenham Hotspurs hat ein Problem. Die Fans bezeichnen sich als Yids, Juden auf Jiddisch. Das trug unannehmliche Konsequenzen mit sich. Wieso das so ist, und warum das zur Kontroverse führte, kann man in meinem “Stadtgespräch” Bericht in der Sonntaz nachlesen.

English:
When I was asked by the Jüdische Allgemeine, the main German Jewish Weekly, to check on Yosl Tiefenbrunn, who is taking an apprentice at Maurice Sedwell‘s in Savile Row it was clear to me from the outset that his was not the only story. That Prof. Andrew Ramroop, O.B.E., came with two suits from Trinidad, with his mind strongly set to become a Savile Row tailor and achieving this against racist prejudice, is a remarkable tale of human endurance, ambition and effort. Ramroop follows a remarkable line of Trinidadians – but a relatively small island in the Caribbean – in relation to the UK, be it Claudia Jones, Eric Williams, or Lord Learie Constantine, and their own respective achievements.
That now he should have an apprentice who is an orthodox Chabad rabbi is certainly no mistake. In fact, Andrew Ramroop told me he recognised that Tiefenbrunn may have difficulties convincing some to take him on, with his beard and special religious needs. Tiefenbrunn’s interest and dedication to be a world-class tailor and introduce some nuances of individuality in Haredi fashion is unusual and astonishing at the same time. But Tiefenbrunn notes that he is not the first Jewish tailor nor that the Orthodox Jewish world lacks tailoring today.
When you hear that Ramroop serves clients like Samuel L Jackson, and once designed for the late Lady Diana, against initial adversity, one wonders to what lengths the Rabbi with the needle will bring it.

English:
My feature today in the Jüdische Allgemeine. Rabbi Gluck has worked tirelessly to overcome the divide between Muslims and Jews and Aras and Jews, and it is because of this that he was awarded with British honours this year. Furthermore Gluck, and moreso his father, took the courageous decision to aid German Jewish communities, disintegrated and lost in faith and direction, after the shoa. Gluck says that the keys to his philosophies of encountering the other are the Noahide Laws. Further he says: “Naturally the basis for my life and work is G-d’s Torah,which was give to us by Moshe Rabeinu(Our teacher Moses) in Sinai. ”
