Education Hub new term – Liberal Jewish Values


2 November 2022 – 8 Heshvan 5783

Education Hub (2)

Liberal Judaism’s Education Hub is back for a brand new term from Wednesday 9 November – with a series of sessions examining Liberal Jewish Values.

Led by Liberal Judaism’s rabbis, and taking place via Zoom on Wednesday nights at 7.30pm, all sessions are designed to stand alone so you can attend as many evenings as you’d like.

This term’s line-up of sessions is:

Wednesday 9 November: Rabbi Charley Baginsky – Post-Holocaust thinking and its influence on Liberal Jewish values
Possibly the greatest challenge to Jewish theology in the 20th century has been the Shoah. Come and explore the different theological approaches that emerged in the decades following this tragic moment in our history.

Wednesday 16 November: Rabbi Dr Judith Rosen-Berry and Rabbi Dr Michael Shire – Ethical Monotheism and Liberal Jews: The God Life or the Good Life? 

Wednesday 23 November: Rabbi Alexandra Wright – The influence of the prophets on contemporary Liberal Jewish values

Wednesday 30 November: Rabbi Dr Charles Middleburgh – How the Psalms inspire Liberal Jewish values

Wednesday 7 December: Rabbi Neil Janes – Rabbinic Literature its relevance to Liberal Jewish Values today

Wednesday 14 December: Rabbi Gabriel Kanter-Webber – Liberal Jewish values and social engagement

This year, Liberal Judaism’s Education Hub Series has been celebrating 120 years of our movement.

The first sessions celebrated the people who have inspired us, from Lily Montagu and Rabbi Leo Baeck to Rabbi John Rayner and Rosita Rosenberg.

A second term examined how we practise – both in prayer and through the Liberal Jewish values of equality, inclusion and activism – while the third looked at Liberal Jewish Thought.

You can watch all previous sessions on Liberal Judaism’s YouTube channel, here.

We are proud to make Education Hub classes available for free, to ensure that everyone has access. However, if you are able to, please consider making a donation to Liberal Judaism.
