Another Jewish year draws to a close tonight. In his latest op-ed for @jewishnews.bsky.social, Dr Jonathan Boyd dives into JPR's research to see if it was a good one, and finds the reality is much more complex, nuanced, and interesting. Shana Tova u'Metuka from JPR! www.jpr.org.uk/insights/fiv...

Five things we learned about Jewish life in 5786
As another Jewish year draws to a close, it is tempting to ask whether 5786 was a good year or a bad one for British Jews. It was, after all, a year that began with the deadly attack outside the Heato...

I wrote this review on the recent Primus concert at the Brixton 02 Academy. TL;DR: It was good. It was REALLY good. www.linkedin.com/pulse/primus...
linkedin.com
Primus lit up the stage with a setlist filled with fan favourites. Then, they did it again.
The fans had high expectations for the return of the alternative funk-metal Californian rock band. Primus called, then raised.

You can't win a fight without intel. If we wish to combat antisemitism. we need more intel. We need it to be academically robust. We need it to be sustainable. We need to connect it to policymaking. NERON is the first step, and it just took its first step.

Years ago, a griffon vulture was detained in Saudi Arabia on suspicion of being an Israeli spy. I turned that into an international story that set the bird free - a reminder of what comms can do in complex environments: make people stop, care, and act. (Watch the video, it’s hilarious)

Purim is here. A festival of masks, paradoxes and noisy joy, marking the story of how Persian Jews thwarted the evil Haman’s plot to annihilate them. A tale that takes a real form in current events. Compared with other key festivals, Purim is among the least widely observed by British Jews...
