LIBERAL JUDAISM'S HOT POTATOES

Liberal Judaism is proud to announce the launch of a new series of dialogue events entitled ‘Liberal Judaism’s Hot Potatoes’.

The panel chaired by BBC reporter Callum May, will include human rights barrister Adam Wagner, former Labour councillor Adam Langleben, Young Labour chair Miriam Mirwitch, former chair of the Jewish Labour Movement Ella Rose and journalist Michael Segalov.

Tickets are very limited, so booking in advance is essential.

Time: 6.30pm
