Room 12
Kurt Marx, now 96, fled Cologne in 1939 on the Kindertransport and never thought he'd reconnect with Germany. His granddaughter, Johanna Marx, will discuss with him and German political scientist, Larissa Schmitz, the story of their friendship and educational collaboration after Larissa's investigation of the Stolpersteine outside her front door.
Room 13
'Get men talking' is a project inspired by the lives of three friends who realised during the pandemic that men need help to learn how to talk to each other. Our aim is to give men the confidence, tools and techniques to have vulnerable conversations. Our new programme will not only help improve how men talk to each other, but also how they listen.
Room 11
Festival just isn't Festival without, at some point, discovering that the quiet corner of the bar you were sitting in has morphed into a full-throated singalong session. Bring your voices, musical instruments and old summer camp song-books, and join in with this experimental online singalong as we stretch Hopin's technology to its musical limits!
Room 16
Close reading and careful analysis reveal independent and contradicting voices in the story of conquering the Ai in the Book of Joshua. In the session, we will attempt to understand these opposing perspectives, teasing out the 'correct' narrative and our own conclusion. This reflection may lead to surprising implications for modern Jewish conflicts.
Room 17
The second session is a discussion and Q&A with the audience on issues raised by the film, with Lyn Julius as interviewer and moderator.
Room 15
Telling someone off can be satisfying or scary. If you do it too rarely or too much, this session is for you. Judaism says tochecha/rebuke is a mitzvah. Mussar tells us why, how and when to let someone know they have crossed the line. If you need to tell someone off or you need to refrain from it, let these ancient ethical texts help.

Room 14
Tikva traverses more than a decade of poetry, from childhood homes and broken families, through mental illness, grief and love. Kayla’s poetry explores the unexpected places we make our homes, the meaning of family, history and where we come from, and how to find hope in a world that so often feels hopeless.
Room 18
Time to take a breath and enjoy stories from a professional teller, for adults, teens and kids of all ages. Talmudic debates, demons in ruins, ladders to heaven... our tradition is full of tales about prayer, and tales that become prayer. You can just listen, join in or learn to craft your own tefillah to go; chances to move and create!
