Room 8
When the New Israel Fund's global CEO Daniel Sokatch first conceived of his book, he considered calling it 'Israel: WTF'. Join Daniel for a discussion on the new political landscape in America and Israel, American Jewry and Christian evangelicals' curious relationship with Israel, and his introductory book, which he ultimately named: 'Can We Talk About Israel?'
Room 3
Who translated the Talmud into German and how was it digitized for Sefaria? The story of Lazarus Goldschmidt and the Talmud translation that he worked on for 39 years.
Room 2
We have come to talk about antisemitism as mutating through history like a virus. But what if this is closer to the truth than we realise? Could biological models of viral mutation actually describe the interactions between Europe and America, which imported, exported, refined and defined cultures of hate, destruction and genocide for 500 years?

Room 7
Limmud volunteers put on events taking you one step further on your Jewish journey.

Find out about Limmud’s mentoring offer, share your own insights and see if you might be able to help event volunteers take one step further.
Room 1
Four months on from the fall of Kabul, we look at the situation facing Afghan refugees in the UK. The Government has committed to taking 20,000 refugees over five years. Many have already come but there is currently little detail. What more should be done and what can we as a community do to ensure that they do indeed get a warm welcome?
Room 6
This fun and interactive session will take a look at seven aspects of Jewish history, religion and culture that didn't quite make it on to the Cheder (Hebrew Sunday school) curriculum.
Room 4
Wearing two, sometimes contradictory, hats of rabbi and clinical psychologist is a privilege and a challenge. In this session, Samuel invites you to share his journey (so far) of navigating these different worlds, ways of being and combined wisdom of timeless Torah and contemporary psychology. We look at the tensions and intersections of rabbi and doctor.
