Room 2
The hunt for a ketubah (marriage contract) and the discovery of an invitation set in motion a story starting in Sebastopol and Aleppo, via Chicago and Cairo, to St Annes-on-Sea. It includes the founding of both the Cheetham Hill Spanish & Portuguese Synagogue and Arnside Road Synagogue in Southport. A true story behind the saying, 'Next year in Manchester'.
Room 1
Browsing more than 4000 years in an hour, from Biblical times, choral music in the 19th century and the 20th century 'Golden Age' of cantorial art, to the latest tendencies.
Room 4
As the world’s eyes turn to Taiwan, come hear the story of its small Jewish community. It is a community that has been around since the 1950s and has been flourishing lately, being on an island that has been mostly an oasis of normality during the pandemic.
Room 3
Everyone loves the Song of Songs but what is it? Is it a secular love song between a man and a woman, or an allegory of the relationship between God and Israel… or perhaps something else entirely is going on? In the first part of this three-part series, we will ask what Solomon has to do with the great Biblical love poem.
Room 5
Since the founding of the Reform movement in Israel it seems that, alongside its meteoric growth, it continues to encounter 'Reform-phobia'. We will shed light on the unique role of the Reform movement in Israel and its impact on the entire sphere of Jewish renewal in the country, while reviewing the opportunities and challenges it faces.
