Alastair will be sharing the outline and some selected highlights of a work in preparation, on some of the various attempts through history to build places of Jewish safety and autonomy, from the mountains of North America to the wilds of the former Soviet Union. This is a taster for a longer course that you can offer through your community adult education programme or Day Limmud. In the meantime, come take a short break from reality as we search for Jewish Utopias.
