Torah & Science... friends or enemies? Rabbi Dr Raphael Zarum
While the Torah is clear that every plant and animal species was individually designed “according to its kind”, Darwin’s theory of evolution states the multitude of species we see today all evolved from just a few original forms. Which is right? And if humans evolved too then how could we have been created “in God’s image?”
ABOUT Rabbi Dr Raphael Zarum:
Rabbi Zarum is Dean of LSJS and holds the Rabbi Sacks Chair in Modern Jewish Thought at the school. He is a rabbinic leader, lecturer and author with a passion for teaching traditional Jewish texts and innovative educational programming for young and old. He gained a PhD in Theoretical Physics from King’s College London, leading to the publication of a number of papers on Quantum Chaos Theory.

1391 anti-Jewish Riots that lead to the the 1492 Expulsion
One hundred years before the Expulsion from Spain, the 1391 anti Jewish riots were the most widespread and today least known outbreaks of violence against Jews in medieval Europe. Jews had lived in Spain for over 1,000 years, predating the fall of the temple, a period regarded as one in which they enjoyedgreatestz freedom and success. So how did this violence become the precursor to the Spanish Inquisition and the Expulsion of 1492? Michael Schraere was recorded at Limmud Festival 2019. This episode was made possible with funding from National Lottery community Fund.

Keeping Bradford's doors open to its Jewish Heritage
Although he was born in Berlin, Rudi Leavor is a Yorkshireman at heart and that’s where we’re going today. Rudi is the 93-year-old custodian and president of Bradford Reform Synagogue, which has been in the news quite a bit in recent years, partly because of the Muslim leader who sits on the shul's board. I met Rudi in the synagogue to find out more about the shul and Bradford's Jewish history.
Two other Bradfordians, Hanneke Dye and Stefan Simmonds... spoke to Nigel Grizzard about shul life, growing up in the Bradford community, and the Hostel that was home to child refugees from the Kinder Transport.
We have more information about the Bradford community on the JSCN website just go to jscn.org.uk/small-communities/bradford-reform-synagogue/ there you will find a number of videos which talk a lot more about the history of Bradford and its Jewish community, including a complete film about the hostel which housed those Kindertransport children.

Windermere & The Boys
There is a kindly gentleman who sits not far away from me in Synagogue. He’s called Sam. He always asks about me and my wife, and I always make sure to wish him Shabbat Shalom. He rarely speaks about himself but I know, from other people, that Sam has survived three or maybe four concentration camps. And people were also keen to tell me “Hey you know he’s one of the ‘Windermere Boys’, don’t you?”
“The Boys”, was a group of 300 boys and girls who ended up in Prague and had been airlifted out as refugees at the end of the war. They were taken to Windermere to recover, and from there they would go on to build new lives.
But recently I found out how the history of that time and the physical evidence of their existence had almost been eradicated for ever.
Trevor Avery had an interest in the war time history of Windermere, but initially for a completely different reason, until the chance encounter piqued his interest. Now for over 10 years he has made it his mission to uncover that history and tell the story of The Windermere Boys to the world.

Why is 'Eyes Wide Shut' Kubrick's Most Jewish Film?
Stanley Kubrick, born of Jewish parents and brought up in New York, famously directed films like 2001 a Space Odyssey, Dr Strangelove, The Shining, and A Clockwork Orange. His final film Eyes Wide Shut is based on a Jewish novella, but seemingly excludes nearly all Jewish references. Take a seat with me in the audience at Manchester Limmud 2019 as Professor Nathan Abrams intrigues us to see why it’s Kubrick’s most Jewish film.

Mystical world of The Zohar
700 years ago a Spanish Jewish mystic named Moshe DeLeon began writing down a collection of teachings and tales that have never been seen or heard of before. Its influence has been profound, both in the Jewish and non-Jewish world, and is still felt in the teachings of our great educators today.
Sefer ha-Zohar, the Zohar (The Book of Radiance), has amazed and overwhelmed readers for seven centuries. It is the major text of Kabbalah, the Jewish mystical tradition. Its language is a peculiar brand of Aramaic, with Spanish undertones, that breaks the rules of grammar and even invents words.
Join me in the audience as Jonathan Davies presents a very accessible introduction to the history of this book, how the latest and most accessible translation came into being, along with insights into the Zohar's key themes, revelations and symbolism.

A Yiddish Summer
I'd like to introduce Fiona Frank, one of the founders of the Lancaster & Lakes Jewish community.
Recently she's been taking time to travel around Europe, taking in different Events and cultural experiences... and recording a personal podcast as she travelled.
I wanted to bring you one particular one, recorded when Fiona visited Weimar in the former East Germany.
Weimar was home to the Bauhaus movement founded by Kandinsky, Paul Klee and Walter Gropius
Before that it was known as the birthplace of Weimar Classicism, a literary humanistic movement of the writers Goethe and Schiller.
But there was also a darker side to Weimar... the city had a Nazi government 2 years before Hitler came to power, and Buchenwald concentration camp is 11 km down the road.
But in today's modern Europe, Weimar is trying to put itself back on the positive cultural map. Yiddish Summer Workshops and Festival was established in 1999. Fiona met with its founder and Director Alan Bern

Lyn Julius: Uprooted - 3000 years of Jewish Civilisation that ended overnight
850,000 Jews were expelled almost overnight from the Arab lands of the Middle East and North Africa after living there for 3000 years.
It is something that has seemingly been overlooked in Jewish history until Lyn Julius and her organisation 'Harif' highlighted it.
I met with Lyn Julius to find out the reasons why it occurred, why it has almost been ignored until now, and whether it can now play a role in advancing a peace solution in the Middle East.

Sal co-wrote the film with his wife Nina, and it features a stellar cast of leading actors.
Sal and Nina have gone on to create "The Accidental Talmudist" a Facebook channel that reaches over a million people to bring them Jewish learning.
