Artist. Junkie. Victim. "A typical North London Jewish girl". Gay icon? We will delve into the music and mythology of this (in)famous Jewish singer, looking at her childhood, career and enduring position within pop culture. Is Amy our generation's version of the talented, troubled Jewish women who hold a special place in queer hearts?

Hasten the arrival of Moshiach by occupying yourself with questions of Torah. We will also play 'Who Said it: Taylor Swift or Hitler?' which the Talmud famously mentions as one of R Gamliel's favourite drinking games, and, time permitting, some other yeshivish games to enhance our minds and spirits.

A session exploring the roots and journey of Jewish comedy. Why it is so identifiable? And what is the importance of a seemingly innocuous gesture; the shrug? No one will be picked on as this is not a stand up comedy session but you will be invited to share a favourite Jewish joke. Feel free to prepare one in advance!

The UK Rap scene has been making huge strides into the mainstream, something which very few people predicted. In this session, come and learn about what UK rap is, how it is becoming mainstream and why it should matter to Jewish people living in the UK. How can we, as British Jews, contribute to a culture that is becoming 'the' culture?
