Hot off their successful Edinburgh Fringe run, newlywed musical comedy duo Couplet tells the hilarious true story of the queer Jewish wedding that almost didn’t happen. “There’s nothing they can’t sing and laugh their way through!” (New York Times). “Compulsively watchable!” (Jewish Chronicle). “Amazing, heartwarming stuff.” (Starburst)

In this session, prompted by 'Fiddler on the Roof' on tour and in light of the recent Cambridge production of the real Fiddler on the Roof, Sholem Aleichem's Stempenyu, I'd like to share some of my research into the movement of Eastern European Jewish culture to the west since the October Revolution.

This year I have been sorting the papers and photographs of both sides of our family, going back to the early 1900s. What can we learn from them? How do we address the new 'kashrut' of sorting and when do we just have to be brave and use the bin? I will share some things that we have kept and what we have let go. This will be an informal session.

Maimonides is most famously known for defining the essential beliefs of Judaism in 13 principles. With the foundation of Israel, are these principles still relevant? Perhaps they need updating? We will look at 13 new principles and think together about the significance and place of Judaism in the diaspora and in Israel.
