Zionism: a Jewish Communal Response
Zionism: a Jewish Communal Response is new pamphlet written by leading Rabbis and academics, seeking to address a growing concern amongst the UK Jewish community that Christians are too ready to dismiss Zionism as �a political movement� of �only incidental importance� to Judaism, rather than a central facet of Jewish identity. Authors are: Rabbi Dr Tony Bayfield, a FODIP Patron, Rabbi Jonathan Wittenberg, the Senior Rabbi of the Assembly of Masorti Synagogues, Rabbi Danny Rich, the Chief Executive of Liberal Judaism and Dan Rickman, an Orthodox Jew and leading academic. The document was written for the Board of Deputies of British Jews and contains a foreword by the President, Vivian Wineman. Read the pamphlet here |

The Missing Pages campaign by the Exploring Islam Foundation
This campaign demonstrates that Islam does not tolerate anti- Semitism, and that geo-politics needs to be separated from a common shared theological heritage and values. The campaign voices unity with the Holocaust Memorial Day. Norman H. Gershman's book, "Muslims who saved Jews during WWII� is currently available. For more information on the campaign, please visit: www.missingpages.co.uk Norman H. Gershman is an American Jewish photographer and Founder of the Eye Contact Foundation, which promotes understanding and tolerance through portrait photography. Norman travelled to Albania to photograph Muslim families who rescued Jews in WWII. His six year odyssey pays tribute to those who fulfilled �Besa� � a code of honour in Albania that instructs them to protect others from danger at all costs. |
