Akin Ajayi presents a 40-year personal history of conclusion-jumping, outside and inside Israel. Including: the role of the eye patch in statesmanship, pepperoni pizzas and Kashrut, Ben Gurion International, the neo-conservative Rothschilds of 18th Century Europe - how strongly a non-Jew should feel about his son having a brit milah. There may be a couple of serious points here and there. But he promises nothing.

The session will seek to explain what its presenter, who has reported from inside the Gaza Strip for 16 years, sees as an avoidable - and still unfolding - tragedy. But it will also suggest that Gaza has the capacity to recover its millennia-old destiny as a coastal civilisation that could yet become a beacon of hope for the Middle East.

AI has immense potential for saving humanity as well as us Jews! But perhaps we’re distracted by the shine rather than the disturbing, malevolent capabilities. How do we use Judaism to discern the truth about the possible uncontrollable power of AI?

The only element of the desert Tabernacle unclear to Moses was the Menorah, the form of which - the rabbis tell us - God projected in light against the side of Mount Sinai so that Moses could better understand its configuration. Discover the relationship between light, learning, and Jewish visual culture in this special Chanukah session.

Our tradition hints at God existing in 5 dimensions. What in 7th heaven could this mean? Come & explore the revolutionary non-existent fields of Quantum Kaballah and Chaos Theology. No maths needed (though ability to count to 10 an advantage). Actually there’s a serious theological point and we’ll do our best to find it. First, noughts and crosses!

What is modern Jewish literature is an everlasting question and a source of numerous debates. Cohen, in most of his interviews, claimed that his music is universal and not Jewish and he left it for us to discover the Jewish side of his art. Join me on the journey of discovering Jewish themes in Cohen’s songs.

We all know the story of the plucky Jewish rebels overwhelming the mighty Greek army, but the truth is so much more challenging. Though Judaism survived the influx of Greek culture into Israel, it was forever changed by it. We will look at the ideological clash of Athens and Jerusalem. How can traditional Jewish faith survive Western secularity?
