    Israel's Democracy. And crumpets.

    Israel's Democracy. And crumpets.

    When faced with a difficult conversation, what better way to deflect than to talk about what you had for breakfast? In this final conversation in the current series, the rabbis discuss why it is so hard to talk about Israel and its complex democracy. And they take up the challenge of doing so, at a time when Israelis all over the world are protesting in the streets in defiance of the new ultra-right wing coalition that threatens the beating heart of their democracy.

    Liturgy and Jazz - Creating a new Prayerbook with Rabbi Mark Goldsmith

    Creating liturgy is a long process but like any creative art, it draws inspiration from a great many sources. In the context of Judaism, many minds and hearts play their parts too and in this episode Rabbi Mark Goldsmith crosses the threshold to join the Rabbiters in a very special conversation about the creation of a new prayer book for the High Holy Days. Out in 2024, the new MRJ Machzor promises beauty, tradition and of course, meaningful change.

    The power of connection with Louise Kermode

    The power of connection with Louise Kermode

    People who live in communities tend to live longer and Jewish community can be a protective factor but it's not always the case. Western cultures often value personal independence over communal interdependence and yet more people than ever are self-reporting the need for support with their mental health. Louise Kermode from Jewish mental health charity Jami joins the show to talk connection, empowerment and how we can create the right conditions for people to thrive ahead of this Mental Health Shabbat.

    The Jewish Communities of Ethiopia with Rabbi Sybil Sheridan

    The Jewish Communities of Ethiopia with Rabbi Sybil Sheridan

    Jewish communities in Ethiopia, descended from the Tribe of Dan, migrated south during the Biblical period. Today, they remain devout communities many of whom wish to move to Israel. Many are entrepreneurs and university-educated but faced with poverty and complexities with Israeli immigration laws, they are being supported by charitable organisations such as Meketa, run by Rabbi Sybil Sheridan who joins Rabbiting On! to discuss her work. Following Maimonidean principles of empowerment and the teaching of Kol yisrael arevim zeh bazeh - the idea that all Jews are responsible for one another,  you can support the work of Meketa by visiting  www.meketa.org.uk
