Does Brexit force us to choose an (exclusive) identity? That's what the PM, in her October 2016 conference speech, seemed to imply, and in so doing strengthened my Jewish identity. The session challenges David Goodhart's somewheres v anywheres as a subtler reincarnation of 'rootless cosmopolitanism'.

The Haredi world is often depicted as a mass culture of conformism and anti-individualism. By exploring the writings of Rabbi Shlomo Wolbe, one of the 20th century’s most influential Musar masters, we will arrive at a more complex conclusion on the place of individualism in Judaism.

Daniel will examine the halachic references to treatment for mental illness and learning disability and consider how the rabbis conceived modern concepts such as coerced treatment and capacity. He will also look at the duties Jews have to look after their bodies and minds and the duties doctors have to treat the sick.

Jewish history's darkest chapter has been covered in music, art, drama, songwriting, literature and film-but not videogames...mostly. The session considers the few games that have taken the controversial step of including Holocaust elements. We dare to ask if videogames can ever be an appropriate tool for depicting the Shoah-and if so, how?
Orange 15
A look at nationalism in the age of Trump and Brexit and Le Pen — using modern Americanism and Zionism to argue that nationalism is a neutral tool, liberal nationalism is a force for good, and we shouldn’t allow extremists to hijack the important movement we need to push back against postmodernism.
