Room 5
We have probably all heard about the Hassidic movement and know something about it. As someone who grew up in the Hassidic Satmar sect, I knew only one version of the story. After leaving the ultra-orthodox world I rethought the text, the stories, etc., and now think that Hassidism just might not be 100% aligned with the founders intentions.

Only 60 years separates the arrival of Ashkenazi Jews from the Pale of Settlement and the Windrush Generation on UK shores. This session will explore a comparative history of the Black and Jewish communities in Britain. I will contrast how Antisemitism and Anti-Black manifest today, debating whether there is a moral duty for Jews to support BLM?
Room 1
A. B. Yehoshua is one of Israel's most acclaimed writers, and most thoughtful voices on the challenge of finding Israeli-Palestinian peace. His new novel – The Tunnel – is the lyrical story of a retired road-planner navigating the first barbs of dementia. We'll talk about all of that, and about his hopes and concerns for Israel's future.
Room 11
Rembrandt van Rijn (1606-1669) is considered by many to be the greatest painter of all time. This lecture will seek to explain why he painted so many Old Testament subjects as well as some Jewish sitters, focusing in particular on two of his best-known paintings, 'Belshazzar's Feast' and 'The Jewish Bride'

Room 3
An opportunity to hear the leading ambassadors of Jewish and Israeli humanitarian NGOs answer big questions: What is the impact of COVID-19 on vulnerable populations in the developing world? How has the recent anti-racism movement affected the work of the sector? How can we, as socially responsible Jews, make a positive outward impact at this time?

Room 13
The opportunity to hear first-hand testimony from Holocaust survivors is a privilege that we are among the last to experience. This fact has made the ways that we memorialise the Holocaust, for example the proposed memorial by the Palaces of Westminster, even more crucial. We hear from two politicians at the forefront of this debate.
