Ready for the future and we are confident

Dear members and guests of our community

A year with many major challenges is coming to an end - if one thing is certain for 2025: New ones will follow!

On behalf of the Migwan Board and employees, I wish you and your loved ones all the best for the coming festive and end-of-year period and for the whole of the New Year 2025!

As the Migwan community, we have once again demonstrated this in our 20th anniversary year: Together, we always manage to take the next steps that are important for our re-development in a targeted manner. Many thanks to all those who have contributed to this with their commitment as active members, employees, the Rabbinate and on committees. As the Board, it is important to us to create a good environment for everyone's goals, concerns and energy.

Today, Migwan is an important and complementary element of Jewish life in Basel and the region. The anniversary celebrations also gave us the opportunity to raise public awareness. We associate this with our responsibility to make a contribution to peace in society. The anniversary celebrations also gave us the opportunity to raise public awareness of the organization.

In order to emphasize this commitment, we have launched the application process to obtain “minor recognition” in accordance with the requirements of the Basel-Stadt cantonal constitution, as mandated by the Migwan Assembly. The application procedure and the political decision-making process will take some time. We will use this time to further strengthen our socio-political anchoring and perception.
