Essen un Zingen. Jewish songs about food from the Pale of Settlement to the East End and East Side and beyond. Listen to some of the best tunes sung by such greats as Bruce Adler and Alan Sherman, mixed in with an explanation for each as to their place in Yiddishkeit. Listen and enjoy, before they disappear forever from the Jewish world.

Room 5
Brought to you by Festival chair, Ben Combe. Race through a series of puzzles and challenges to solve a mystery in our Limmud-themed escape room. No prior knowledge or experience needed - just bring your detective hats, magnifying glasses and deductive minds.
Room 6
An evening of Comedy hosted by the one and only Rachel Creeger.
Room 4
Our homes are responsible for 20% of the UK’s carbon emissions. How can we reduce this? We will consider going one step further on our journey to decarbonise our homes: heating and insulation; the materials and appliances we use; how to breathe in an air tight building - and the difference between our ASHPs, MVHRs and EnerPHits and PIRs etc.
Room 3
What is the purpose of Jews in the world? In this session, we will explore the long history of the idea of Jewish purpose, drawing on the arguments presented in Adam's recent book, 'What Are Jews For? History, Peoplehood and Purpose' (2020). We will focus our discussion on four brief texts: from Exodus, Isaiah, Claude Montefiore and Franz Rosenzweig.

Room 2
This session will introduce 'What Would Love Do Now?', a poem by Julie Barnes, which has been developed into a song cycle and video in collaboration with Judith Silver and Cliff Braverman. Poignant and universal, this piece addresses the end of life, gently prompting us to explore what our wishes and hopes might be for this most precious time.
