SUMMARY:Edinburgh Jewish Literary Society - The 43 Group and Their Fight Against Britain's Fascists (1946-50): Daniel Sonabend - 7.30pm
DESCRIPTION:The story of the Jewish ex-servicemen who fought against Oswald Mosley after World War II. In 1946 many Jewish soldiers returned to their homes in England imagining that they had fought and defeated the forces of fascism in Europe. Yet in London they found a revived fascist movement inspired by Sir Oswald Mosley and stirring up agitation against Jews and communists. Many felt that the government\, the police and even the Jewish Board of Deputies were ignoring the threat; so they had to take matters into their own hands\, by any means necessary. \nDaniel Sonabend holds degrees in Politics\, Intellectual History\, and Psychoanalytic Studies from the University of Nottingham\, University of Cambridge\, and Birkbeck College.

SUMMARY:Edinburgh Jewish Literary Society - Jews and Judaism and the environment - 7.30pm
DESCRIPTION:Ulrich Loening and Natan Levy on Jews and Judaism and the environment \nThe Judeo-Christian tradition is often blamed for its anthropocentric view that humans were created to rule over and exploit the rest of God’s creations. Yet\, our future depends on us harmonising our activities with the workings of nature. We will discuss how this can be achieved and what shelter – if any – Jewish text and tradition can offer against this coming storm. There are no technical reasons that might prevent us changing. Our customary habits need to change and can. It is a matter of personal and political willpower\, and of equity and justice over the world. An optimistic image is staring us in the face. Can we realise it? \nemail eljsoc@gmail.com to register to attend. If you are not already a Lit member you can join here.

SUMMARY:Edinburgh Jewish Literary Society - David Horovitz: Whither Israel? Analysing the Elections of 1 November 2022 (ZOOM) 8pm
DESCRIPTION:On 1 November\, Israel is heading back to the polls for the fifth time since 2019. By the time of this scheduled talk\, clear results may not be available if Israel is to enter a protracted period of coalition formation\, as has been in the past.

It now publishes in French\, Arabic\, Persian and Hebrew (Z’man Yisrael) and has an average of 40 million monthly readers. He lectures widely in Israel\, the USA and Europe on Israeli current affairs and has conducted landmark interviews with Barack Obama\, Vladimir Putin\, Volodymyr  Zelensky and\, much to delight of his children\, Paul McCartney. He has published several books on Israel\, including The Jerusalem Report’s 1996 biography of Yitzchak Rabin – Shalom\, Friend- which he edited and co-wrote\, and which won the US National Jewish Book Award for Non-Fiction. \nThe daily and weekend edition of The Times of Israel\, as well as The Jewish Times\, may be dropped into your electronic post by ordering it from www.timesofisrael.com. You can enjoy an ad-free experience by taking out a modest monthly or annual subscription\, which is greatly encouraged.

SUMMARY:Edinburgh Jewish Literary Society - Maria Chamberlain: ‘Don’t Tell Anyone You’re Jewish’ (ZOOM) 8pm
DESCRIPTION:Maria Chamberlain’s book Don’t Tell Anyone You’re Jewish (published by Vallentine Mitchell\, May 2022) is based on her parents’ and grandparents’ experiences in Nazi-occupied Poland and her family’s post-war life in Stalinist Poland and later in the UK. The book\, which is part testimony\, part tribute to her Holocaust survivor parents\, celebrates their courage and resilience\, and brings to life on the page several family members who perished. Much of this history is harrowing and tragic\, but it presents touching and tender portraits of her family members in extraordinary times. Maria ponders on how it was possible for so many seemingly ordinary people (German\, Polish and Ukrainian) to participate in this unspeakable evil. She talks about the after-effects of the Holocaust on her survivor parents\, and how this legacy has shaped her own identity. \nMaria who was born soon after the war in Kraków\, Poland\, emigrated with her parents to the UK in 1958 and settled in Edinburgh\, where she still lives. She has led an academic career as a plant scientist and lecturer of Biology at Edinburgh University.

SUMMARY:Edinburgh Jewish Literary Society - Anshel Pfeffer\, A Postcard from Wartime Ukraine (ZOOM) - 8pm
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to welcome Anshel Pfeffer\, senior correspondent and columnist for Ha’aretz and Israel correspondent for The Economist\, to open our year by giving us thoughts from his many and most recent visits to Ukraine. Born in Manchester and immigrating with his family to Israel at the age of nine\, Anshel’s British passport has allowed Ha’aretz to send him to cover stories\, such as the 2011 Egyptian revolution\, in countries that are reluctant to permit entry to Israelis. Over the past 25 years\, he has covered education\, politics\, security and foreign affairs\, and received the B’nai Brith award for ‘Recognizing Excellence in Diaspora Reportage’ for his column ‘Jerusalem and Babylon’\, a series of articles which covered issues relating to Israel and Jewish identity. His latest book\, Bibi: The Turbulent Life and Times of Benjamin Netanyahu (2018: Hurst Books) won plaudits from The Times (“a sober and erudite profile”)\, The Literary Review (“truly fascinating”)\, and Jonathan Freedland in The New York Review of Books (“a detailed\, revealing and shrewd biography”). \nAnshel observes that “after two reporting trips to Ukraine during the current war and numerous previous visits over the past 15 years\, it is clear that the war has also awakened new feelings of Ukrainian patriotism among the country’s large Jewish community”- a community which historically has suffered greatly from Ukrainian nationalists. In his talk\, Anshel will address this apparent paradox. \nThe electronic English edition of Ha’aretz\, Israel’s foremost Hebrew language newspaper\, may arrive daily in your electronic post by ordering it from www.haaretz.com. For the first year\, subscriptions are at half price ($65).

SUMMARY:Edinburgh Jewish Literary Society - Angels in our own Traditions - Valery Rees - 8pm - hybrid
DESCRIPTION:EJLC – Angels in our own Traditions – Valery Rees\nValery Rees will take this opportunity to look at some of the angels that appear in our own liturgies against a wider background of their origins and their later representations across the Religions of the Book. How did people know what the cheruvim on the cover of the mercy seat were supposed to look like? Was Satan the equivalent of the fallen angel Lucifer of the Christian tradition? Who were the angels who ‘fell’? and who are the angels we invoke in the song Shalom Aleichem? \nEmail ejlsoc@gmail.com with queries\, or Contact the Lit to register \nVenue to be confirmed
