How do we understand and live with complex relationships such as love and hate, coexistence and conflict?
How do ‘domestic’ relationships such as marriage endure, and how do we come to terms with deeply felt social antagonisms such as antisemitism and racism?
On Marriage sees Feeling Jewish author Devorah Baum exploring why we marry and how this ancient, highly contested practice has remained relevant to so many. In Antisemitism and Racism: Ethical Challenges for Psychoanalysis professor Stephen Frosh delves into the discipline’s uncomfortable relationship with race, despite its Jewish origins. Devorah and Stephen explore these challenging questions in a fascinating, wide-ranging discussion.

An event from Jewish Book Week 2024
