Room 7
Kabbalistic sources teach us that when we sleep at night we have the ability to roam the spiritual realms, accessing a truly divine messaging system. This workshop will share revolutionary material from Jewish sources about how to use our dreams to generate insight and healing for ourselves and for the world at large. Be ready to be amazed...

Room 4
Vice-president of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, David Mendoza-Wolfson, will host an ''in conversation'' with Hillel, including a brief presentation on the history of bias at the United Nations (focusing largely on Israel), followed by a Q&A with the audience focusing on more recent events.
Room 5
We will study the troubling story of Jephtha's daughter and some contemporary literary responses, and ask about the afterlife of the mourning ritual described in the narrative. We will brainstorm women's traditions, customs and rituals that might find their way into (or back into) Jewish life and practice today.

Room 3
Who are we becoming? Survey after survey shows the modern Jewish community to be made up both of Jews and of their loved ones from many faith traditions. In this session, we’ll take a break from the statistics and focus instead on narrative, delving into the stories of Jews from interfaith families.
Room 6
V & A London: “ David Shilling continues to amaze with his inventiveness" He bakes chollas, revolutionised hats, broadcast live on Moscow TV, had work shown in the Louvre Museum Paris , works with government agencies and now offers a world first: a chance to buy your own Space Craft. Is six days work a week enough? What do you think ?
Room 2
A review of the increased incidence of ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease in Jews in relation to geographical distribution, Ashkenazim versus Sephardim, and data emerging from the Human Genome Project and the influence of Jewish migrations.
Room 8
The foundations of post-war Jewish life in the UK are shifting beneath our feet. Come to discuss and question how demographic change and ideas of identity, choice and affiliation are affecting communities now, and how established organisations such as the United Synagogue can prepare for whatever's next.
Room 1
Na'amod is a rapidly growing movement of British Jews seeking to end our community’s support for the Occupation and mobilise it in the fight for freedom, equality and justice for Palestinians and Israelis. We will explain who we are, why opposing the Occupation matters, our recent campaigns, and how you can get involved alongside 250+ Na’amodniks.
Room 9
Drawing on Tikkun Olam we have seen Jews take action on climate change in record numbers. Now is the time to evaluate how the Jewish community interacts with a rapidly changing political and social landscape. Few are better placed to do this than Carla Denyer, co-leader of the Green Party and Liberal Judaism Chief Executive Rabbi Charley Baginsky.
