In this talk, I will discuss my journey of navigating life with a late neurodiversity diagnosis, sharing the challenges and triumphs along the way against the backdrop of hidden gems in the Torah. I will talk about the conflict between "neurosparkly," the empowering way my friends encourage me to embrace my individuality, and "neurospicy," the label others use when they misunderstand or feel threatened by my differences.

Talking is great, but action is better. Texts are fine, embodiment is best. Rabbi Zac will demonstrate the power of a psychedelic experience without the need of any kind of plant medicine or otherwise. Come prepare, take part, and integrate with a breathwork ceremony in the context of a Jewish framework. (Bring a pillow and blanket)

In the late 1970s, Israeli-American poet Reuven Ben-Yosef wrote “Letters to America", a collection addressed to his family. The poems are searing, gorgeous… and in Hebrew, which his family didn't speak. We’ll go into Ben-Yosef’s life and writing, challenges in translation, and the potential of poems or letters with audiences who cannot be reached.

Jews are not always considered an athletic people, but the story of Jews in Football is one often left untold. In 7 of Europe's 10 biggest cities, there is a club that is called 'Jewish'. This session will explore how and why 3 of these clubs gained their Jewish affiliation and how some wrote it out of their history while others embraced it.

Religious education in mainstream schools is the most important opportunity to teach children about Judaism in the UK, pre-empting antisemitism. A recent move to “problematise” religion, inserting a “critical” approach into primary and secondary level "Worldviews" RE syllabuses should worry every Limmudnik, of every stripe. How should we respond?

Born in the 1940s to a survivor, I grew up with a strong Jewish identity and an awareness of the recurring dangers of hatred. This shaped my understanding of abusive systems, influencing my path to becoming a doctor and psychiatrist. The lessons I've learned can offer valuable insights for navigating today's challenges.

The Jewish Community responded in amazing ways to the Pandemic and the Recovery from the Pandemic. The challenges and responses to Community Security, Resilience and Cohesion have been as immense following October 7th. Antisemitism in places not seen before and at levels not expected. What had already been done and what are the next steps? And what impact does changes of Government here or abroad have?

October 7 was two things. One was the deadliest attack on Jews in 80 years, sparking Israel’s longest and hardest war. The other was a spontaneous wave of mutual aid and solidarity. Our focus has been mostly on the first, but it’s the second that matters more. This session is about that—why and how it happened and what it means.
