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.

It's Jewish Heritage Month. It's Victory in Europe Day. Perfect time to nerd out and get your mind blown by the true stories of JEWISH CIRCUS PEOPLE IN NAZI GERMANY. Stav Meishar has been researching these stories for the past 7 years and has collected incredible stories from the families themselves. In this talk we will discuss the lives of Jewish circus artists during Nazi regime, their legacies and their fates, as well as the process of transforming real stories into stage work. The talk will be woven with excerpts from Stav's theater-circus show "The Escape Act: A Holocaust Memoir".
