This year’s Community Source magazine is of particular significance as JCA celebrates its 50th year. This is a collective celebration. It marks the time of our volunteers, the dollars of our donors and the leadership and vision of all involved who have helped shape our community over the past 50 years – a community that we are privileged to live in. This moment also gives us pause to think about our community’s future. A future that ensures a vibrant, secure and inclusive community in which our children, grandchildren and great grandchildren will thrive – a community that leaves no Jewish person in isolation and celebrates the combined diversity of our people, our culture and our heritage. 2017 is a chance for each of us to get involved, to give in whatever way we can, and help us write the next chapter. This year’s Source magazine mirrors our community. It is a collaborative effort of individuals who have come together to tell a story that best represents who we are, what we do and all we hope for in our future. We would like to acknowledge the JCA team, our member organisations, our hard working volunteers across the many committees and project groups, all of whom have contributed to the creation of this magazine. Most importantly, we thank the contributions of each donor and volunteer whose generosity supports the activities of JCA and our member organisations and helps sustain our community.

Ranging from philosemitic fantasies through to longstanding anti-Jewish caricatures, understanding how Jews have been ‘imagined’ across time and place can shed new light on both historic and contemporary views of Jews and Judaism. This conference seeks to focus on these imaginings and asks how they have shaped views about Jews within and beyond the Jewish world, over time and in the present. Further, it asks how the creation of these ‘Jewish imaginaries’ has influenced how Jews think about themselves and their own societies. Where have these ideas about Jews, their origins, culture and influence crossed over into Jewish thought and writing and what has been its effect? We look forward to two days of thought-provoking presentations and discussions focussed on these vital and enduring questions.
