Jewish Views podcast: Labour’s new code, ‘A Lizard’s Tale’ and ‘Shine For Shani’
Guests this week include Rabbi David Mason, Actor Marlon Solomon, Juliet Berman, Alan Bernstein, Justin Cohen, Fran Wolfisz and Rabbi Ben Kurzer
This week, we hear from Rabbi David Mason about why he was one of nearly seventy signatories on a letter sent to the NEC, over the Labour party adopting a new code to tackle antisemitism.
Actor Marlon Solomon tells us how he is using his one man show ‘Conspiracy Theory: A Lizard’s Tale’ to expel some of the myths about Judaism.
We find out about the heartbreaking story of Shani Berman who died aged five of a heart defect, from her mother Juliet Berman and why she tells us why she’s asking the community to ‘Shine for Shani’.
Alan Bernstein of the Felshtin Society tells us why his organisation will be asking “Who Will Light A Candle” for 200,000 Jews killed during the pogroms 100 years ago.
News Editor Justin Cohen & Features Editor Francine Wolfisz review the Jewish News.
Our Rabbinic Thought for the Week comes from Rabbi Ben Kurzer of Edgware United Synagogue.
