In any season — even the dead of winter — people are in the pool, enjoy- ing the clear blue water and the view of the mountains in the distance. Many in the pool simply relax, floating in the water. Others do water exercises. Those who swim take it slow- ly; it's hard to swim vigorous- ly in water which is 96.8 degrees Farenheit. This is a pool of hot thermal spring water that comes straight from one of the 19 thermal springs in the area. It's this pure water, with the richest mineral content of any water in Switzerland, that has drawn visitors here ever since the Romans began bathing in Baden's thermal springs almost 2,000 years ago. Today, this tranquil town in the mountains of northern Switzerland, just 25 minutes by train from Zurich, is Switzerland's most well known spa resort. Attractions include both indoor and out- door thermal pools, six spa hotels with a whole array of facilities from saunas to solariums, and picture- postcard scenery; for the town is located in the foothills of the Jura mountains. Switzerland's premier spa, where the Romans once bathed in style, has a definite Jewish flavor. It's a favorite vacation spot for many Israeli Jews, particularly those who speak German. Baden is in the heart of the German- speaking area of this multi- lingual country. There are also Jews who come to Baden every summer for a special ritual reunion. They are German-born and managed to escape the Nazi regime just in time. They were among the Jews who were sheltered in Switzerland during the war; and some stayed right at the Verenahof Hotel while waiting to move to permanent homes. Even though they've scat- tered since then — to the U.S., European cities and Israel — they return regularly to renew their friendships in this tranquil Swiss spa resort. Besides the chance to meet Jews from diverse places, Baden offers several special attractions for Jewish visitors, including a gallery that carries unusual Judaica items, a local synagogue, and an active Jewish community with a proud and unusual history. Just a few minutes' walk from the spa hotels is Gallery M, which has a wide and varied collection of paintings, sculpture and jewelry — almost all of it by Jewish artists. On display are many works by Israeli sculptor Frank Meisler. The sculptures, finished in precious metals, include menorot, ketubot holders, candlesticks and sculpted pieces with biblical motifs, such as Noah's Ark and King David. In Switzerland, this gallery is the exclusive representative for Mr. Meisler, who lives and works in Old Jaffa. "I started with a few pieces, but then it just grew," says Miriam Bollag, gallery owner, who now has over 100 Meisler pieces. She arranged for three exhibitions of his work, two in Zurich, one in Geneva, and is planning one in Baden this year. Besides the Meisler collec- tion, the gallery also carries sterling silver jewelry by Yaacov Heller and Ben David, both from Israel, and pain- tings by Avri Segali and Alex- ander Aizanstadt. Many visitors she says, are
