Our beautiful Sephardi Synagogue building has also been lovingly restored. In this presentation members of the museum team will share stories from the museum’s collection, give you a sneak peak of what to expect when the new museum opens and ask for your help in shaping the museum’s new activities.

Room 4
Join Dr Jackie in her solo presentation, where she will discuss an experiment on herself, when she wore a blood sugar monitor for nearly a fortnight even though she isn’t diabetic. Which was worse, the bagel or the slice of kuchen? Why did it matter and what are her recommendations now on how best to eat for weight control and your immunity to Coronavirus and other future viruses?
Room 2
The midrash was the workshop of the sages in which they sought to uncover the most profound meanings of the Torah. We will analyse an ancient midrashic text that inspects a range of biblical verses to uncover a surprising relationship between G-d’s existence and the obedience of the Jewish people.
Room 8
Government and mainstream communal bodies frequently engage with “community leaders” as intermediaries to Charedi people - but these gatekeepers are often those who most benefit from the status quo. Yehudis will examine class and power within Charedi communities to illuminate the hidden position of those silenced and harmed by structural failures.
