LABOUR & ANTISEMITISM PANEL

 

Thursday 21 February
 

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

The aim of the series is to cover some of the most hotly debated issues within the Jewish community, while aiming to create a safe space where all views are heard and there is more debate than judgement.

The first event will be a panel discussion which will look at the current problems of antisemitism within the Labour Party. 

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 MUST BE BOUGHT IN ADVANCE
Tickets will not be available on the door

Time: 6:30pm

JOIN THE #SWABSQUAD

 

10 - 15 February

 
The Sue Harris Trust, together with Anthony Nolan, have organised Jewish Swab Week from 10th-15th February.

Jewish Swab Week is a great opportunity to add yourself to the register – you just need to be aged 16-30, and in good health. It takes literally a few minutes to be swabbed, and if you are a match, you would be giving someone is potentially decades of life. How many chances do you get to do that?
