Peter Mason, the national secretary to the Jewish Labour Movement, will speak at the Liberal Judaism Biennial Conference.
 
Peter will take part in one of the conference’s keynote events, a hard-hitting panel discussion on the very current issue of Anti-Semitism & Anti-Zionism.
 
He will be joined by Board of Deputies chief executive, and former Labour MP, Gillian Merron and Liberal Judaism’s deputy chair Lucian J Hudson. The panel will be chaired by The Guardian’s Jessica Elgot.
 
Rabbi Charley Baginsky, chair of the Biennial organising committee, said: “We are delighted to have Peter join a very strong line-up representing all sides of the argument on such an important topic.
 
“The key to any good Biennial Conference is to get participants thinking and debating – and this panel will just do that.”
 
Peter is a Labour Party Councillor in Hanwell & West Ealing. He is active in the Jewish community, principally through his role in the Jewish Labour Movement, which campaigns to support the Labour Party in both the UK and Israel.
 
Gillian was Member of Parliament for Lincoln from 1997 to 2010, including serving in a number of Ministerial positions. She also worked in support of the Holocaust Education Trust and Labour Friends of Israel.
 
Lucian is a strategy and communications specialist, currently serving as the director of communications for The Open University. He was formerly the director of communications in three UK government departments, as well as spending 17 years as an executive producer and television journalist with the BBC and ITV.
