JW3: Remona Aly In Conversation with Shoshana Boyd-Gelfand

Two extraordinary leaders, writers and activists, Remona Aly and Shoshana Boyd Gelfand, talk about the issues of the moment and what it means to observe religious traditions under lockdown - Jewish or Muslim. What's it like to celebrate Ramadan and Shavuot without a physical community? Can fasting and feasting be meaningful in isolation?

Remona is a journalist, broadcaster and commentator with a focus on faith, lifestyle and identity. She writes for The Guardian and other media outlets on anything from The Great British Bake Off to burkinis; fashion to interfaith football and Ramadan to rock music. As a commentator on TV and radio, she has appeared on Sky News, ITV and the BBC.

Rabbi Shoshana Boyd Gelfand is Director of JHub, a London-based initiative launched by Pears Foundation that offers space, resources training and development for social change organisations to work, meet and learn.

This is a free event. However, if you would like to make a contribution to support JW3 during this difficult time (which we'd be extremely grateful for!), there is an option to do this when you book.

JW3 & Limmud Present 'It Says What?!?'

JW3 and Limmud partner to bring you unexpected and poignant Jewish wisdom online.

In this 30-minute bite-size series, educators from across the community will share some of their favourite pieces of Jewish wisdom. 

This week we'll be talking to Laynie Soloman, a passionate teacher of Jewish text, thought and ritual who believes deeply in the power of Talmud study as a healing and liberatory communal spiritual practice. They serve as a faculty member and Director of National Learning at SVARA: A Traditionally Radical Yeshiva, where they direct SVARA's Teaching Kollel, which is lifting up a new generation of queer & trans bet midrash facilitators.

Laynie is completing a Dual M.A. in Talmud/Rabbinic Literature & Jewish Education at the Jewish Theological Seminary and holds a B.A. in Religious Studies from Goucher College. They love facilitating experiences of Jewish learning that uplift the piously irreverent, queer, and subversive spirit of rabbinic text and theology, and they have taught and lectured on these topics in various community spaces, campuses, and in academic settings.  When not in shul or learning Talmud, you can find Laynie reading about liberation theology, collecting comic books, and singing nigunim.

Previous guests in this series include JW3 Scholar-in Residence Clive Lawton, Teacher at Yeshivat Eretz Hatzvi Rabbi Alex Israel, Director of National Learning Initiatives at the Hadar Institute Rabbi Avi Strausberg, LSJS Teaching Fellow Lindsey Taylor-Guthartz, Rabbi Jeremy Borovich, and senior scholar for the JDC Rabbi Michael Paley.

Anat Hoffman: Resilience and Resistance – Keeping the Struggle Alive

9.30-10.30pm Israeli time

What does it take to fight for Tikkun Olam for 30 years? How to find patience for a marathon in a world that is running sprints? It takes resilience to make Israel (or any other homeland) live up to our values and goals.

What is resilience? You can get some too.

Anat Hoffman was born and lives in Jerusalem. She was selected as ‘Person of the Year’ by Haaretz in 2013 and chosen as one of the 50 most influential Jews by the Jerusalem Post in 2014.

Anat serves as the Executive Director of the Israel Religious Action Center (IRAC) which places her at the forefront of the effort to advance religious pluralism in Israel. Anat has led Women in the Wall for over three decades in their struggle towards gender equality at the Western Wall. She also served on Jerusalem’s city council for 14 years, heading the opposition.
