Black-Jewish Solidarity: challenges and opportunities against the tide of hate

Lara Monroe  Tema Smith  Nadine Batchelor-Hunt  Mia Hasenson-Gross 

Room 10

Why is it important for Jewish communities and communities of colour to stand together against anti-black racism and antisemitism, while celebrating and supporting one another? And how do we overcome those – most recently grime artist Wiley – seeking to drive a wedge between us? Jews of colour from the US and UK discuss these most timely questions.

Living in Ukraine: where future and past collide

Melinda Simmons 

Room 4

Ukraine has fought for centuries for its right to determine its own future, and has a determination to succeed on its own terms after repeated repressive regimes. I will talk about the country that Ukraine's citizens want it to be, and my experience of living and working in Ukraine as a Jew.

Peter Beinart in conversation with Jonathan Freedland

Peter Beinart  Jonathan Freedland 

Room 2

Peter Beinart's recent article 'Yavne' sent shockwaves through the Jewish world with its call on liberal Zionists to abandon the two-state solution in favour of equality in Israel-Palestine. Join Jonathan Freedland for an in-depth dialogue with Peter, discussing his stance and the ways in which Israel, the diaspora, and Zionism are changing today.

Raise Your Voice - Raise Your Spirit!

Zöe Jacobs  Mich Sampson  Judith Silver 

Room 6

Singing is scientifically renowned to support a sense of wellbeing and optimism! Join Zoe, Mich, and Judith as they share songs with a message of gratitude, positivity, and comfort – especially in these challenging times. We hope you'll join us for a chance to raise our voices together (zoom-style) and raise our spirits with the power of music.

The Satanic Verses: evil in the Talmud

Daniel Boyarin 

Room 8

In this session we will study together (in translation) some aggadic passages from the Talmud (Shabbat 89a) that teach us much about Babylonian Jewish ideas about Satan and Evil. It's not what you might think!

A Facilitation Intensive Intensive

Leah Jones 

Room 14

Leah learned to facilitate at a 5-day retreat and will share as much as she can with you about leading powerful events (both online and off) in just one session. Learning goals include how to prepare to set an agenda, remixing facilitation modalities for new environments, and the importance of breaks.
