Roots or Routes: What We Took From Brighton with JSCN
At the end of May we were invited to Brighton to speak on a panel for the Jewish Small Communities Network as part of Jewish Culture Month at BNJC. The event, "Roots or Routes," brought together community builders from across the country to wrestle with a single question: do we put down roots where we are, or look to the route that comes next?
Speaking out on rising antisemitism in the South West

We're in the Plymouth Herald!
We're delighted to share that Klezmer by the Sea has been featured in the Plymouth Herald. The piece celebrates our partnership with Theatre Royal Plymouth and the wider story behind this summer's event — part of the UK's inaugural Jewish Culture Month.
