Speakers: Gerald Jacobs, Julia Neuberger, Hephzibah Anderson

Compared to their neighbours in North, East and West London, the Jewish communities on the other side of the river tend to be less discussed. Countering that we have Gerald Jacobs, literary editor of the Jewish Chronicle, and Julia Neuberger, Britain’s second-ever female rabbi. Jacob’s latest novel Pomeranski takes us to 1950s Brixton and beyond, featuring gangsters, boxers, jazz and the rag trade. Baroness Neuberger was rabbi of the South London Liberal Synagogue for over a decade and stood as the SDP candidate for Tooting in the 1983 general election. They will be in conversation with author and Mail on Sunday fiction editor Hephzibah Anderson.
