It’s always been my dream to visit north Norway and just explore the beautiful greenery

Yes Tromsø is stunning I would recommend visiting there. You’d definitely want to go between June-August though if you’re looking for greenery because the summer is very short there.

How is the Jewish community in Norway? I've heard a lot about the Yiddishist community in Stockholm, Sweden (where Yiddish is recognized on a national level, and Yiddish language education and culture are sponsored by the state), but I don't know anything about the Jewish community in Norway.

There’s a really small and tight-knit community in Oslo (2,000 Jews) I’m not sure about the one in Trondheim (200 Jews). The Oslo community has a beautiful orthodox synagogue that has services every shabbat and on holidays, a kosher store, a mikvah, a cheder program (giving a Jewish education too elementary school kids) and a Jewish kindergarten. There are only one or two people speaking the Yiddish language though (mostly from the Jewish old age home next door) it’s not as wide-spread as in Sweden. As for antisemitism, there hasn’t been any hate-crime so to speak for many years against the Jews of Norway and I felt safe there going to synagogue and being a part of the community.

If you’re interested in learning more you can follow my instagram account @synagoguesofeurope where I give an extensive history of the Jews of Norway and a small tour of the Synagogue. Hope this helps!

Restabfall hehe Germans seem to share the same obsession for Mülltrennung. Some food for thought that might be controversial. In US capitalism, products have replaced true democratic choices. Just think of the myriads of cereals and the number of political parties. Literally, they are keeping people busy in front of these walls of cheap products. Always wondering about the next purchase. Never minding the consequences or challenging the status quo.
