In 2019, Liberal Judaism launched a series of dialogue events called ‘Liberal Judaism’s Hot Potatoes’. The events covered a number of the hotly debated issues within the Jewish community while aiming to create a ‘safe space’ where there is debate without judgement!
Next event – Should the Diaspora be our new Zion?

LJ’s Hot Potatoes are returning in person! Hot Potatoes is a series of panel events covering a number of hotly debated issues within the Jewish community while aiming to create a ‘safe space’ where there is debate without judgement! In the past, we’ve covered Labour & Antisemitism, citizenship, faith schools, lockdowns and more.
After a few years online, we are relaunching in person at 7:15pm on 22nd March at a North London venue debating the question; ‘Should the Diaspora be our new Zion?’ Join Rabbi Lea Muehlstein, Rabbi Leah Jordan, Dr Yair Wallach & Dr Keith Kahn-Harris as they ask whether we should be seeking our inspiration, and injecting our energy and resource solely into revitalising and strengthening diasporic communities. Chaired by Rabbi Rebecca Birk.
