Look at my amazing new colleagues! We survived the first week, with all kinds of emotional experiences: the ordination pictured below, our first tears in class, welcoming a Czech Memorial scroll to the college, learning how to blow shofar, learning our first few lines of Talmud

Ooh, another rabbi who used to be a cell biologist!

As we begin to organise large-scale multi-country workshops across Africa I'm starting to see how using English as the primary mode of communications in most conferences & scientific meetings results to huge inequality. I now read emails in languages other than English language.

Look at this amazing dvar Torah by one of my classmates! I am so incredibly lucky that I get to study with people like Jennifer.

This is going to be a really great event, the speakers are truly awesome and it's a really important topic for anyone interested in LBGTQ+ anything in the context of Progressive Judaism.

In case you missed it... you can now watch the Lionel Blue Memorial Lecture 'What is the legacy of Queer Rabbis?' here: youtube.com/watch?v=N_vqx2… More information about the event on our website: lbc.ac.uk/rabbi-lionel-b…

I love this course, it's one of my favourite things I worked on in my previous job. It covers an astonishing amount of ground for an online course, including lots of really detailed case studies. Can't recommend it enough.

Not only is this article clear and well-referenced, it manages to make a case for active travel without any reference to moral panic about obeeeeeesity. Well done that doc!

I have opinions about record-keeping! lbc.ac.uk/parashat-pkude…

A fellow student is running this LJ online Seder and it's going to be absolutely brilliant. Very much recommended

Ooh, fascinating study! I did a little bit of work with Uwe Matthias Richter which included interviewing autistic students about #TeamBasedLearning but it was very preliminary, and we were looking at a wide range of disabilities and neurodiversities. doi.org/10.29038/eejpl…

I was involved in the very early design stages of this course, before I quit genomic education to train as a rabbi. There are really good people on board, and it's a great complement to other variant interpretation courses by virtue of being global and diverse. Recommended!

I'm not exactly a leader of anything, but I was proud to be part of the background crowd at this solidarity event.

My thoughts about this time of year:

We are offering all members of Liberal and Reform communities the chance to take part in a year-long cycle of chavruta (learning in pairs) study. Participants can sign up as a pair, or an individual and we will match them with a study partner. Details: liberaljudaism.org/2024/10/join-o…

I have always loved that Kettle's Yard do this!

Nearly 2 out of 3 people say they (or someone they care for) have had a problem with NHS admin in the past year. But what impact do these experiences have on the public's perceptions of the NHS? We explored this in our February long read: kingsfund.org.uk/insight-and-an…
