Limmudniks/Israel

Further to my post about the South London Limmud on 13 July (for which there are still places) and my post on Sudanese refugees in Israel, I noted that there is also a JCORE/JCC event next week on asylum-seekers in Israel, featuring Ellen Goldberg of the New Israel Fund (NIF), one of the Limmud speakers. (Typically, it is in NW3.) Also related, here's another speaker, JCORE's Edie Friedman, in conversation with multiculturalism-backlash tsar Trevor Phillips in the Jewish Quarterly (ignore the title, where the JQ subeditor appears to have married them off...) And here's the NIF on racism in Israeli football. And here's NIF's blog.

I also googled another speaker, Bryan Reuben, and found him to have interesting views on many of the topics addressed at this blog. See, e.g., here, here, here, here.

Anyway, have a good weekend, and maybe see you next weekend at Limmud.
