Looking forward to delivering the Rabbi Harry Jacobi memorial lecture this afternoon, alongside Jane Clements Fodip. Harry not only devoted himself to Liberal Judaism but also to Jewish-Christian relations. Rabbi Richard Jacobi Council of Christians and Jews Woolf Institute

Interfaith relations are vital to both our community and the wider Jewish and faith worlds. These are now more important than ever.

Thank you for these important and thoughtful insights on the importance of listening and building relationships in these challenging times.

Thanks for the opportunity to speak about work discrimination in Refugees in the UK although being skilled people. Let's advocate for a more compassionate UK . Can't thank enough for those advocating The VOICES Network 🧡 Edward Kessler Refugee Council 🧡

After 3 years preparation, final proofs of ‘A Documentary History of Jewish-Christian Relations’ have arrived. Co-edited with my friend Neil Wenborn, this is the first comprehensive history of relations over 2000 years. Published ⁦Cambridge University Press - Religion⁩ in Sept. ⁦Council of Christians and Jews⁩

Much of the £4.3bn (billion?!) can be saved if ⁦Commission on the Integration of Refugees⁩ recommendations are implemented. Although holding divergent positions we achieved consensus. Our findings lead to better lives for refugees, asylum seekers AND the UK ⁦Sabir Zazai 🧡⁩ bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…

This is a brilliant listen.

Highly recommend for TeamRE. For those of us who teach OCR A-level, very suitable for the religious pluralism and society topic.

2/2 And here is the Israeli perspective. Both Robi and Laila are remarkably brave.

1/2 In a discussion with ALASTAIR CAMPBELL and Rory Stewart we discussed the importance of interfaith dialogue. Here is the first of two examples of the courage it takes to engage in dialogue and why it is key to conflict resolution - from a Palestinian perspective.

ALASTAIR CAMPBELL Let's hope the work that Edward Kessler and people like him do is properly funded by the next government. So many benefits from a multi cultural society. We should celebrate it not undermine it. However this desperate government will weaponise anything I am afraid.

This is a brilliant The Rest Is Politics episode. Such an important topic. Dialogue and relationships are key

Agreed. Dialogue is also key for teaching and learning.

Yes. You’re right David.

New episode The Rest Is Politics LEADING - Edward Kessler has worked all his life on interfaith dialogue so as the Israel Gaza war drags on, a good time to hear his views on this conflict past, present and hopefully a better future alastaircampbell.org/2024/04/68-isr…

This is an important report. Scotland leads the way in its policy on refugees and asylum seekers. Unlike England, it has a national strategy and a policy of 'integration from day one', which helps not only the integration of refugees but local communities as well.
