Strangers in a Strange Land

Strangers in a Strange Land – exile, refuge and settlement: Jews and non-Jews.

Sidney Fenton Education Foundation is delighted to sponsor this free series of study sessions led by Angela Gluck

The last in this series of 4 sessions will take a wide-ranging look at the essence of the Jewish story of exile, refuge and settlement —which is written all over our history. It will explore the wisdom of Jewish tradition about what it means to be a wanderer and the strong moral value of those who are settled supporting those who are unsettled.

With its relevance to contemporary events, the series will be illustrated with historical and contemporary material from Jewish and many other sources. They will include first-person testimony, poetry, film and traditional texts.

Advance booking is required and participants are encouraged to RSVP as soon as possible – see below. While participants are encouraged to attend all 4 sessions, each session will be of interest in its own right.
