The last session in this term of Liberal Judaism’s Education Hub takes place this Wednesday (15 June). It will see Rabbi Richard Jacobi ask how we can toughen up our Liberal principles in today’s changed world.

Taking place via Zoom on Wednesday nights at 7.30pm, all Education Hub sessions are designed to stand alone, so you can attend as many evenings as you’d like.

Wednesday 15 June: Rabbi Richard Jacobi – Say goodbye to ‘woolly Liberalism’.
Wider events within the UK and around the world have revealed in the starkest terms why we and our world can no longer afford woolly Liberalism. But how do we toughen up our principles? 

The previous sessions in this term were:

Wednesday 18 May: Rabbi Lea Mühlstein and Rabbi Elli Tikvah Sarah – Why Liberal Jews pray.  Watch here.

Wednesday 25 May: Rabbi Dr Judith Rosen-Berry and Rabbi Charley Baginsky – What’s new? Progressive thought and Liberal Judaism.

Wednesday 1 June: Rabbi Monique Mayer and Rabbi Aaron Goldstein – The emerging role of Musar in contemporary Liberal Judaism. Watch here.

Wednesday 8 June: Rabbi Michael Shire – Encountering Liberal Judaism and a new Hasidism. Watch here.

The first sessions took place in January and February looking at the people who have inspired us, from Lily Montagu and Rabbi Leo Baeck to Rabbi John Rayner and Rosita Rosenberg. The second term, which ran in March and April, examined how we practise – both in prayer and through the Liberal Jewish values of equality, inclusion and activism.
