Room 14
Stephen will talk about the Camino to COP, a multi-faith, 500-mile, eight-week pilgrimage from London to Glasgow that he recently completed with people of different faiths and none. We were highlighting the need for urgent action on climate change and for climate justice, and spoke in many places. This session will include a video and time for questions.
Room 12
Jewish Lives Interrupted is a study commissioned by the Pears and Wohl Foundations to obtain qualitative and quantitative feedback from teens in Jewish schools about their experiences of school and home during the pandemic. Come and hear the outcomes and implications of the data we collected from almost 1400 young people.
Room 13
This talk is yet another exploration of the connection between psychoanalysis and Judaism. In it, I suggest that a powerful aspect of this connection is that difficult relationships are at the heart of both systems.
Room 11
Comments by shulgoers in their own words: Ovid, Pepys, George Washington, Yossele Rosenblatt, Pope John Paul II, Liszt and Schoenberg. From the slums of Rio to the shtetls of Ukraine, Nazi Germany, London's East End, the Lower East Side and the Temple in Jerusalem. Here is the Jewish experience — tragic, comic and inspiring by turns.
Room 15
In this session, we will ask how we can interpret the words ‘Song of Songs’. We will also look at some of its love poetry and ask: is there more going on that first meets the eye? We will consider textual similarities in other Biblical works and consider how the author of the Song of Songs blended in older themes for a very different end.
Room 17
In October the charismatic former governor of Katanga for the first time visited Auschwitz, where the Nazis murdered many of his relatives from his Greek-Jewish father's side. It was an emotional moment and a chance to study a remarkable leader who seeks to transform his promising but tortured country so it may realise more of its great potential.
Room 16
Intriguing and entertaining tales by Brown, Kaizer, and Lisky show the East-End community struggling with political, religious and cultural concerns: anti-fascist activism; choosing a chazan; Moses in London, and generational face-offs. Expect vibrancy and humour. Vivi will explain context and read translations from her new book London Yiddishtown.
