It exists to promote and defend the religious and civil liberties of British Jewry and to promote its standing. Nearly 300 Deputies represent local communities and organisations in a democratically elected body ZKLFKLVWKHƪUVWSRUWRIFDOOIRUJRYHUQPHQWDQGRWKHUIDLWKJURXSVRQLVVXHV relating to the Jewish community. On issues of importance, such as Holocaust remembrance and education, the Board reaches out through its Deputies and its close relationship with the other organisations to the whole community to consult and to listen, ensuring that we speak with a strong and consistent voice. Most of the community’s major communal organisations have contributed to this document and are listed in Appendix 1, along with details of our consultation process. Many are also submitting their own documents. We particularly urge the Commission to consider, alongside this document, submissions from the main synagogal bodies, the Regional Representative Councils, the Scottish Council of Jewish Communities, and of course, the Charedi community, each of which bring a particular perspective.

  • Belsize Lehrhaus
    Belsize Lehrhaus 9th November 2014 Belsize Square Synagogue, 51 Belsize Square, NW3 4HX Presenters and their sessions Rabbi Stuart Altshuler Rabbi Stuart Altshuler has been the rabbi and spiritual leader of Belsize Square Synagogue since January 2011. In addition to his pulpit experience since his ordination from the Jewish Theological Seminary in 1980, Rabbi Altshuler also has a doctorate in Jewish history (JTS) and has taught as professor in Jewish Studies at Chapman University (Orange, California), Loyola-University of Chicago and Old Dominion University (Norfolk, Virginia). Rabbi Altshuler has written a history of the Soviet Jewry movement in America, entitled, From Exodus to Freedom (Rowman and Littlefield), and his currently working on a book entitled, From Mesopotamia to Messiah Sessions: 10:00 The ethical foundations of the biblical dietary laws (Kashrut) This session will explore the Biblical foundations of Judaism’s dietary laws. The Torah (Bible) gives more instructions regarding the dietary prohibitions and allowances than any other ritual including Shabbat, Holidays, circumcision and more—why is that so? Kashrut is a core tenet of Jewish life—we will find out why that is so. 13:30 Theodicy: A Jewish view on why bad things happen to good people Perhaps the most instructive way to learn about the differences between religions and other non-religious ideologies, is to explore how each religion attempts to resolve the most important religious question regarding the existence of a Just and Loving God contrasted with the realities of our earthly existence including human-made and natural suffering. Judaism, beginning with the book of Job, has its own particular way of dealing with this central religious question of theodicy—that is, justifying God despite the existence of evil.
