The Shalom Festival concept progressed this year from simple cooperation amongst Israeli artists of different backgrounds to genuine examples of 'coexistence'. Why did this happen? Is 'coexistence' the gilded path to a bright future or a fifth column? Is it real or fake? How might the SF concept progress next year? We want to hear your views!

East Jerusalem is a sprawling portion of Israel’s capital, incorporating Jewish and Arab neighbourhoods. Captured in 1967, its annexation has not been recognised by foreign states. Jewish construction in the area is treated by many non-Israelis as no different to settlement expansion in the West Bank. Is this reasonable?

The Gospels proclaim that Jesus fulfills Jewish messianic expectations: virginal conception, Bethlehem birth, anointed beloved son, sign of Jonah, suffering servant, Passover offering, enthroned in heaven…. how were these connections made, and how did other Jews, then and through the centuries, respond?

Moses’s breaking of the Tablets is usually understood to be a result of his uncontrollable anger toward the people for building a golden calf. Yet, another interpretative tradition holds it up as an ideal. Discover why the rabbinic imagination understands Moses's actions as reflecting the very meaning of Torah and Jewish life.

The history of the secret Jews in Portugal, told through the lens of one family's struggles and eventual escape. I'll be recounting the story of the Nunes Ribeiros, asking what this teaches us about the wider experiences of Jews under the Inquisition, and examining the historiographical difficulties of sources relating to this era.

To daven is not to tell God one's thought, but to vocalize an address, as messenger committed to the ancestral script, driven not instrumentally but by love. Grasping one's voice as experienced identically by God, one empathically and intimately discovers God's consciousness, thus fulfilling the thematic Rabbinic demand: Know before Whom you stand.
