New Jewish Thought
CUCR is supporting New Jewish Thought, a group of British Jews from across the communal spectrum, who have come together to pursue the following vision:
- to foster dialogue and respectful connection between Jews with different opinions, from different streams of Jewishness, from different backgrounds.
- to highlight issues that are not extensively discussed within the Jewish community.
For more information, see the website of New Jewish Thought, including a review of Les Back’s The Art of Listening.
In creating the website and launch event, we have been supported by Goldsmiths' Business Development Office and the London Centre for Arts and Cultural Enterprise (LCACE).
For more information, e-mail Ben Gidley, b.gidley (@gold.ac.uk) or Keith Kahn-Harris, kkahnharris@blueyonder.co.uk.
