community was miniscule.
Sweden was cold and lonely... but with a deep, yiddishe soul.
lots of holy light in a place of heavy darkness.
it was definitely a life-changing experience...
and makes me appreciate what I have here in "normal" jewish communities.

Yeah, I imagined the community was small! are there many shomer mitzvos? I think not?

There were at the time... but now it is just the Chabad Shluchim.
(people left)

There is a very STRONG reform movement.
99.9% assimilation rate...
I was present at the FIRST ORTHODOX, Chassidic wedding in Gothenberg history...
pretty amazing experience.

By the way- all of the above places I visited by age 21.

My dream is to go to Australia... Italy and Switzerland.
And to visit my beloved friends in California. 8)
