I am delighted to be able to announce the events that are planned to recognise this momentous year. There is something for everyone, some ticketed some free, so please do get involved. Buy tickets and come along and support the community and the City as we embark on the 250th Anniversary of Judaism in this great City. It has been a pleasure to direct and coordinate the work of so many different people in order to put this programme together and you can see it now on page 7. We are all delighted to be working with the Brighton Fringe (and you must buy tickets through them from today). We also thank the Historical Society for their incredible research work. The opening day on Sunday, May 8th is centred on Middle Street Synagogue whilst the unveiling of the Blue Plaque on July 14th, will be carried out by the Lord Lieutenant. See you during this important year for us all.

PhDr. Jiřina Šedinová, CSc. Prohlašuji, že jsem tuto diplomovou práci vypracovala samostatně a výhradně s použitím citovaných zdrojů. Vysoká škola: Univerzita Karlova Fakulta: Filozofická fakulta Akademický rok: 2009 / 2010 V Praze dne 1. 9. 2010 2 PODĚKOVÁNÍ Chtěla bych velmi poděkovat především vedoucí diplomové práce, Doc. PhDr. Jiřině Šedinové, CSc. Dále bych chtěla vyjádřit svůj dík i PhDr. Jaroslavu Strnadovi, PhD. z Orientálního ústavu Akademie věd ČR, Ing. Mgr. Lubomíru Ondračkovi z Ústavu Filozofie a religionistiky FFUK a rovněž indologu Mgr. Ondřeji Himmerovi za konzultaci a pomoc při přepisu indických slov. Za pomoc v Indii děkuji Solomonu Sopherovi, předsedovi bombajské židovské obce, a Hayabu Baruchovi, správci synagogy Magen David, za konzultaci a za povolení navštívit a fotit objekty patřící obci, ředitelce Masina Hospital za povolení vstupu a focení, a nakonec spisovatelce Sheile Mafatlal za rozhovor. V Číně děkuji Wang Fa-liangovi ze Shanghai Jewish Refugees´ Museum. 3 ANOTACE Diplomová práce se zabývá nejvlivnější rodinou ze skupiny Bagdádských Židů přišlých do Bombaje ve čtvrtině 19. století, rodinou Sassoonů. Cílem práce je mapovat její působení ve městě – uvnitř židovské komunity, mezi britskými kolonizátory i ve většinové společnosti; a především její celkový vliv na rozvoj samotného města, jakož i jeho obchodu a průmyslu. Práce se soustředí také na proměnu identity a postupnou sekularizaci komunity, i na její vztah k dalším menšinám.

  • Mayor's Report August 2019
    34th Mayor’s Report to the Assembly Mayor’s Question Time – 12th September 2019 This is my Thirty-Fourth Mayor’s Report to the Assembly, fulfilling my duty under Section 45 of the Greater London Authority Act 1999. It covers the period from 5th July – 29th August 2019. Executive Summary Cycleway 4 construction to start ahead of schedule On 27 August, I announced that the next section of Cycleway 4 will start ahead of schedule. Once complete, Cycleway 4 will add 10km of segregated cycle route to London’s network – enabling thousands more people to enjoy the benefits of this major new route between Tower Bridge and Greenwich sooner. New pedestrian crossings are set to make the area much easier for people walking to get around. Notting Hill Carnival On Sunday 25 August, I spent the afternoon enjoying the music, magnificent parade costumes and sunshine at Notting Hill Carnival. Currently in its 53rd year, it is a celebration of Caribbean culture, that attracted an estimated 1 million people across the weekend. The event would not have been the success it was without the hard work of Notting Hill Carnival Ltd, the public and the voluntary agencies involved, and I thank them for their dedication. New figures show year of stability for London’s pubs On 24 August, new City Hall research shows the number of pubs in London remained stable between 2017 and 2018 after falling by more than a quarter since 2001 London pubs have been a key part of our capital’s heritage for generations, helping to unite Londoners and acting as a vital hub in the community.

In recent years, I have been developing large-scale installation-based work for exhibitions, resulting from various residencies. Since 2011, I have been curating international exhibitions of contemporary ceramics at The Ceramic House, my home and a living showcase of my work.

    WESTBROOK PARTNERS Dear Residents, Neighbours and Friends, 15 March 2018 Dolphin Square: The Next 100 Years Frequently Asked Questions and Our Responses As you may be aware, we have submitted a Planning Application to Westminster City Council setting out how we plan to invest in Dolphin Square to rejuvenate it and to secure its future for The Next 100 Years. This application followed a series of meetings with residents, neighbours and other local stakeholders about our Proposals, together with two public exhibitions, in a process which started back in April 2017. Many of you attended our meetings and exhibitions and we are grateful to everyone who has taken part in our consultation, provided feedback and kept in touch. We very much appreciate the contributions to date which will help to shape the future of Dolphin Square. We want to get in touch again to make sure that the residents and neighbours of Dolphin Square are clear about our Proposals and to reaffi rm our reassurances to you. We would like to reiterate that all tenants will have the opportunity to remain as residents of Dolphin Square during construction and after completion of the works, if they wish to, but it is likely that they will need to move fl ats for a period of time during the works (see page 8 for further details). If we are successful with our Planning Application, then we do not expect to start moving residents before 2020. Our current view is that the works will take approximately 5 years to complete. Once we have an approval from the Council, which we expect in the third quarter of this year, we will be able to develop detailed construction management and sequencing plans and talk to you about how the project will affect you individually.
