A tish ('table' in Yiddish) is a celebration reminding us that Friday night dinner does not finish with food! Come raise up the joy of Shabbat with a feast of poetry, story, and song in the Limmud hideaway that is the Hearth. Come ready to enjoy entertainment from our guests, and bring something to share - silly, serious, or somewhere in between.

In this session, we will take a virtual tour of the streets of Jerusalem on Friday afternoon and Erev Shabbat, and listen to traditional Shabbat melodies sung in the synagogues of Jews from different ethnic communities. From there, we will go on to the courts of various Hasidic dynasties and listen to the Shabbat melodies they sing.

How does a woman who is proudly feminist reconcile herself to Orthodox Judaism - or is that even a question? Peta shares her spiritual journey, the challenges to her faith and her current struggles within the halakhic world to which she has committed. She will also share how living in Jerusalem feeds both her identities - "dati leumi" and feminist.

Zvi has done this session on the halacha of whisky for so long he seems to have become pickled in it. We have regulars who provide their own favourites, Zvi brings one or two, and Limmud also. Come and learn, and savour this regular Limmud opportunity to enjoy our own single malt club, with friends, and learn more about why Scotch is kosher.

Limmud Festival is truly made by you - and our panels are no different! Come along to join this conversation led by Festival goers who may or may not have presented before! This mystery panel explores what drives us as individuals to define as Jewish, what being Jewish means to us, and whether we'll ever figure out what being Jewish really means!

A watershed moment is approaching: the day when the last survivor passes away; when the last eye witness to that colossal atrocity is no longer around. How will we remember? How will our children and grandchildren? Already there are some (Jeremy Corbyn among them) who want to 'universalise' the memory; to make it less about Jews. What do YOU think?
