When we got a dog in 2015, the experience turned my life back-to-front. In this session we will discuss the ways in which life-changes get in the way of traditional Jewish practice. Where do we draw the line? What compromises feel right? We’ll each consider how we find or lose our balance. We’ll work mostly in pairs or small groups.

Only in Odessa could Hibbat Zion, the pre-Zionist movement started in the 1880s, flourish. Odessa was a different community to all others in Russia. Its writers and thinkers left their mark on the entire Jewish people. What was so special about Odessa? Why only there could modern Jewish literature and thought flourish, influencing the wider Jewish world?
