Theatre is a highlight, with cover stars Tracy-Ann Oberman and Howard Jacobson

“Remember, Little Bird, in the world to come, you will not be asked: ‘Why were you not George’ or ‘Why were you not Perkin?’, but ‘Why were you not Catherine?’” ‘Be yourself’ is the powerful life lesson that shapes Birdy’s life. If it is delivered by a Jewish character in the film, Dunham has done her job.
In Beverly Hills, Kyle Richards, who converted and is married to Mexican Jewish realtor Mauricio Umansky, closed her flagship Kyle by Alene Too boutique, but doesn’t appear to have su ered as she shows o her new Colorado home in the new season on Hayu.

Her film, Catherine Called Birdy, is set in 1290 and revolves around Lady Catherine, aka Birdy, who finds ingenious ways to see o potential suitors chosen by her financially destitute, greedy father, Sir Rollo (Fleabag’s Andrew Scott). Dunham’s screenplay is adapted from the book by Karen Cushman, a Jewish American author. She researched medieval Jewry who feature in Birdy’s tale and stay at her home while dispelling the myth that Jews had horns and were devil’s workers. Birdy even disguises herself as a Jew and leaves with them, only to encounter an old Jewish women who tells her:

A GLIMPSE OF WHAT YOU CAN LOOK FORWARD TO IN THE WORLD OF ENTERTAINMENT THIS NEW YEAR
Pottering on Daniel Radcli e (inset) plays the rebellious and unconventional ‘Weird Al’ Yankovic in the singer’s own biopic, which – as yet – has no UK release. It’s a leap for the Harry Potter star but, having played a dead body in Swiss Army Man, the magic of the movies seems to have no logical limits for the Jewish star.

Netflix’s Stranger Things sparked a return to the charts for Kate Bush with Running Up That Hill, triggering memories of her Wuthering Heights. Emily Bronte’s novel inspired Kate then and now director Frances O’Connor, who wrote the screenplay for Emily, which opens on 14 October. This is a controversial imagining of reclusive author Emily Brontë’s life, as it suggests she had a relationship with her father’s assistant. We can only surmise as to the truth, but the assistant, William Weightman, is portrayed by Oliver Mansour Jackson-Cohen (below), the actor son of designer Betty Jackson and her Egyptian Jewish husband, David Cohen, whose Orthodox family fled under the Nasser regime in the 1950s.One to watch, Oliver also stars in Prime Video’s Wilderness as an unfaithful husband, but as it isn’t released until 2023, get to know Oliver in Apple TV’s thriller Surface, in which he plays the spouse of a suicidal woman. Not cheery, but Oliver has been praised for his American accent.
Jason Isaacs barely has time to breathe, he is so busy. Still recognised as Lucius Malfoy by Potter fans, his real admirers are more acquainted with his more recent performances in The Death of Stalin and as the bereaved father of a boy killed in a school shooting in the award-worthy Fran Kranz’s Mass. See it on Sky Cinema Ever and catch the ever-moving Jason from 30 September in Mrs Harris Goes To Paris starring Lesley Manville. The big news about Isaacs is that he is about to play Cary Grant in Archie, a new drama about the Hollywood star (Archibald Leach was Grant’s real name). The jury (jewry?) has always been out as to whether Cary was or wasn’t Jewish, as he wasn’t raised by his real mother, Lilian, a Jewish seamstress who worked with his partly-Jewish father, Elias. The actor also donated money to Israel in the name of his “dead Jewish mother”, which is significant, and may be of interest to Jewish Liverpudlian actor Isaacs, who is very significant.

Making the art personal to each customer while informing them about what is en vogue and suits their home, Zoe also favours highly textured artwork that has depth and layers and uses a variety of methods to achieve it (mixing sand into paint, painting on top of glue or using multiple layers of colour that she scratches away to reveal different undercoats). Nature, urban landscapes, couture fashion and street style inspire her, as well as a spectrum of classical and contemporary artists but, while trending colours, metallic highlights and combinations of abstract artworks all play a part in her work, ultimately Zoe wants to give the customer something personal and meaningful to them. zoebeaumontart.co.uk

Billed as the first gay romantic comedy (surely there have been others?) Bros is about a witty, cynical podcaster navigating a relationship with an earnest, handsomeFeaturinglawyer.analmost entirely LGBTQ cast, the film is written by and stars Billy Eichner (left, with Luke Macfarlane), who had a Madonna-themed barmitzvah (clue!). The director, Nicholas Stoller, whose debut was Forgetting Sarah Marshall, is also of the faith and he co-wrote The Muppets with Jason Segel. Sounds like the sort of crowd we’d like to hang with and, as the film also stars Harvey Fierstein,we’re in good and woke company. Bros opens on 28 October.

“I was a nerd in those days. Outsider. Like the kid that played the clarinet in the band, which I did.” After the neighbourhood kids started chanting ‘The Spielbergs are dirty Jews”, Spielberg got his revenge by sneaking out of his room one night to smear peanut butter on their windows.TheFabelmans, which stars Michelle Williams and Paul Dano as Spielberg’s parents, Leah and Arnold, is also his love letter to cinema and looks at Hollywood’s Jewish film-makers, of which he is now the most famous. But the director revealed that he long denied his Judaism because of the antisemitism he suffered. “I often told people my last name was German, not Jewish. I’m sure my grandparents are rolling over in their graves right now, hearing me say that.” The Fabelmans opens in the US in November, but sadly we have to wait until January.

The phrase ‘equity release’ o en gets touted in discussions about borrowing money later in life, but hands up if you actually understand what it means. As the market increasingly embraces later-life lending, awareness of what equity release is becomes much more important. It’s historically had a bad press and been seen as a product of last resort but fortunately, says Maxim Cohen (inset), founder and CEO of UK Adviser, this is starting to change as the market grows and receives more coverage. “What we have certainly seen of late is a rise in the number of 55 to 60-year-olds utilising lifetime mortgages for home improvements, says Maxim. “More needs to be done to promote this new, more positive image among brokers and customers, so they understand the benefits of later-life lending. The growth potential is considerable, thanks to the UK’s ageing population and the rising popularity of the Bank of Mum and Dad or the Bank of Nan and Grandad. It’s certainly the case that lots of jargon is involved, and the market can be fast-moving and complicated. So be sure to choose an equity release adviser who is on top of all this, with the necessary skills to make it easily legible for their clients.” ukadviser.co.uk

Raised in Edgware, where his family had a Greek restaurant, he went on to sell 120 million records worldwide, donated his time and much of his wealth anonymously and was an active LGBT rights campaigner and HIV/AIDS charity fundraiser. Sadly, it was George’s personal life, littered with legal battles and drug use, that made the headlines before he died at the age of 53, in December 2016.

There have been many touching social media posts about the Queen. Some have been photos with relatives meeting her, others of people expressing their emotional response to her death. Actress and singer Gina Murray posted about feeling blessed to have met her and proud that her sister, Mazz Murray, was one of the last people to sing live for Elizabeth II when she performed Mamma Mia! at the Jubilee concert on 4 June. Mazz is still in Mamma Mia! and Gina is about to star in Ben Goddard’s new musical, TRIO, and bring out a solo album, but both accompanied their father, songwriter Mitch, to Buckingham Palace to get his CBE from the then Prince of Wales. It was heartening to see the new monarch, King Charles III, who has had many more close encounters with the public, meeting other Jewish people, including a then eightyear-old Dylan Pena.

Needham House in Little Wymondley, Hertfordshire, is a beautiful boutique hotel. Small is very beautiful – and surprisingly large, as a permanent on-site marquee means that you can hold an event for 350 people and even bring in a kosher caterer.

The team was amazing and all worked together with us and our families to make it truly magical.” needhamhouse.co.uk
If you haven’t heard George Michael on Desert Island Discs, you really should. Recorded in September 2007, it was on this episode that he unexpectedly revealed he was halachically Jewish. His maternal grandmother, who was of the faith, married out and kept her background hidden in fear during the Second World War.

Alex Galbinski speaks to Charlotte Mendelson about her latest book on finding the strength to push back against a familial tyrant
“He’s not meant to be someone you love,” says Mendelson of Ray. “Narcissists don’t really care about the e ect they have on others.”
“And so the story of the novel is about the tipping point – what happens when there are enough reasons to not tolerate it anymore? He’s not hitting her, but the emotional abuse is there and strong.”
“We’re famously happy, aren’t we. Aren’t we? And totally unique,” he says at a celebratory dinner ahead of a private view for his first solo show since the mid-nineties.Theyarecertainly not happy. A successful sculptor in her own right, 54-year-old Lucia has been avoiding answering a call from a gallery owner about an amazing opportunity because she has learnt not to seek too much critical success to avoid incurring Ray’s artistic jealousy. She is being emotionally abused, as are the other members of the family, but apparently no one can see it.
“We all know people who are in marriages or relationships where you think, ‘Why are you still with them?’ and it’s because he has so worn down Lucia’s confidence and courage.
“What fascinates me is how people have secrets and fierce driving emotions,” explains Mendelson, who is a gardening correspondent for The New Yorker. She is also a former book editor who now teaches creative writing “I like writing about families, because they’re fascinating and weird. It’s a very strange idea that you’ve got to all get on because you’re in the [same] house. And families are such a pressure cooker, because everyone has di erent things going on that they have to conceal from the others, even if it’s just, ‘I’m miserable’, ‘I hate my job, but you all depend on me’, or ‘really I want to be a ballet dancer’.
It’s the classic reason as to why Lucia, like any abused person, stays in a bad relationship. “However interesting, intelligent and potentially successful she is, that’s totally irrelevant,” continues Mendelson.
Mendelson
INTERVIEW
Jess has moved from London to Edinburgh to escape Ray. Unfortunately, she has become involved with Martyn, whom she isn’t sure she loves but who hangs o Ray’s every word. Leah is Ray’s “devotedly loyal” fan, who is at his beck and call, while Patrick has e ectively been banished to the garden, browbeaten.
There are, however, glimpses of a di erent future for all of the characters; the reader hopes they will follow their own path and no longer be cowed.
Mendelson, who grew up in Oxford and has two children from her former marriage to the writer Joanna Briscoe, went to a boarding school in Kent for “two miserable years” and then to Oxford University. She says she doesn’t feel English and doesn’t have a “drop of English blood” in her; her paternal grandfather was Polish and her paternal grandmother was “absolutely a Cockney who was born within the sound of Bow bells” whose own parents were Latvian.

“I’m always telling people that, despite my accent, I’m not posh. And people don’t really believe me, but anyone Jewish immediately gets it. If you’re Jewish, you can’t feel posh because you’re always sort of on the edge of things. So I feel English compared to being from another country, but I grew up with foreigners. I feelDespiteJewish-English.”currentlyworking on her sixth book, Mendelson says it never occurred to her that she could be a writer. But she acknowledges she is lucky: “I’ve had an incredibly good education and I grew up with lots of books, so I was always further on that journey than lots of people. It’s a cheesy thing that politicians say, but it is a privilege.”
he patriarch in Charlotte Mendelson’s latest book, The Exhibitionist , is a horrible character. An artist who had fleeting success years ago, Ray Hanrahan is now an odious and controlling narcissist who rules his long-suffering wife, Lucia, adult daughters Leah and Jess, and stepson Patrick, with not so much an iron fist but an acid tongue.

Mendelson, now 49, doesn’t feel she herself had much to hide growing up, but says about her younger self: “I was dramatically nerdy and very anxious about everything, which I now realise was more a kind of temperament and epigenetic trauma than anything, but at the time I thought there was something wrong withHerme.”maternal grandparents were Czech Hungarian and came to the UK in 1939.

“He has successfully made her think she isn’t. But then a combination of things makes her think, ‘hang on…’ In a small way, it’s about the felling of a tyrant.”Mendelson has said she most enjoys writing characters whose passionate and painful inner worlds clash with how they are expected to behave, and the characters in The Exhibitionist, which was longlisted for the Women’s Prize for Fiction, are no exception.
“And then I’m interested in how that happens in the wider world too, so in other communities; or in this instance, it’s just a family, but it’s also the art world.”
“And, of course, it explains why so many Jews, but also so many people of other minorities, have issues with anxiety. Because if half of your grandparents’ family was murdered, you’re not going to be that relaxed!”
“I’m a complete mixture,” says Mendelson, describing herself as a secular Jew who likes the idea of being a member of a synagogue but isn’t sure “if I can quite make the commitment”.

Set in Israel across four decades, Maror is a story of life and death, politics and history, and poses a central question – how do you build a nation? Cohen knows. It takes statesmen and soldiers, farmers and factory workers. But Cohen knows it also takes thieves, prostitutes and policemen. Cohen also knows nationbuilding demands sacrifice. And he knows where those bodies are buried. Lavie Tidhar draws on his own experience of growing up in Israel and on the nation’s turbulent history to tell an authentic story about creating your own identity.

Before the celebrated late-career world tours, before the Grammy awards, before Hallelujah and Famous Blue Raincoat, Cohen wrote poetry and fiction and yearned for literary stardom. The stories in A Ballet of Lepers – which was written between 1956 in Montreal, just as Cohen was publishing his first poetry collection, and 1961, when he’d settled on the Greek island of Hydra – o er insight into his imagination and creative process.

Can your marriage survive if you’re both sleeping with other people?
This new collection of 19 essays – most previously unpublished in English – by Isaac Bashevis Singer brings together topics that were central to his artistic vision. Expanding on themes reflected in his best-known work –including the literary arts, Yiddish and Jewish life, mysticism and philosophy – the book, edited by David Stromberg, illuminates Singer’s singular achievement as the first Yiddish-language author to be awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. Published by Princeton University Press, £20 hardback, available now

Fay believes an open relationship could reignite the spark they’ve lost. But can sex ever just be sex and can their marriage survive non-monogamy – even if they have permission?

From master comedian Mark Schi , a long-time touring partner of Jerry Seinfeld – who writes the foreword to the book – comes a hilarious account of his 50-year career as a stand-up comic, actor and writer. In this honest collection of essays inducing both heart tugs and deep belly laughs, he recounts growing up Jewish in the outer boroughs of New York City and shares how he survived a harrowing childhood, health crises, ageing, marriage, parenting and career highs and lows.
In this ground-breaking new account of the life of Golda Meir (1898–1978), Pnina Lahav re-examines the life of Israel’s fourth and only female prime minister through a feminist lens, focusing on her recurring role as a woman standing alone among men. The Only Woman in the Room explores the tensions between her personal and political identities and is the first book to contend with Meir’s full identity as a woman, Jew, Zionist leader and one of the founders of the state of Israel.

From Jo Bloom, the author of Ridley Road (which was made into a major BBC TV drama), comes a book exploring the idea (and practice) of an open marriage.
A er more than 20 years of marriage, Fay and Steve are happy enough, though life has become routine and lacks excitement.

Brian’s mum Bertie loved being around people. That’s why she used to say that volunteering for Jewish Care was the happiest time of her later Beforelife.Bertie passed away, she never got a chance to amend her Will so she could leave something to Jewish Care. Brian has since told us that he has included Jewish Care in his Will on her behalf; “I don’t want to leave it until it’s too late, like Mum. I’m doing this for her”. With a gift in your Will to Jewish Care, you can make sure that future generations of our community get the care they need, when they need it most.

“Our paths have crossed over the years”, says Gouldman. “I remember the first time I was in Liverpool: we [10CC] were headlining and Queen supported us. One of their road managers brought in their own personal mirror. And we thought, ‘Why haven’t we got our own mirror? We’re the Gouldmanheadliners!’”canbarely recall a time when he was not passionate about music. “I’d been aware of music since I was seven, but it was getting the guitar and the timing of it – we were in the era of Elvis, Bill Haley and His Comets, the skiffle era…”

The ‘gift’ of being able to write songs –and Gouldman has had no formal musical training – didn’t come out of nowhere. His paternal grandmother was “very musical and, in fact, the family had a little band and would get together; someone played piano, someone played violin, someone sang. So there was definitely a musical gene”. As for the lyrics, he may have inherited some of his fondness for wordplay from his father, Hymie Gouldman, known throughout 60s Manchester as a poet and amateurThereplaywright.wasnochance that Graham Gouldman was going to have an academic career. He says he spent most of his time at North Salford Boys’ School “looking out of the window and dreaming about music”. At 17 he left school and went to work in a men’s outfitter’s for two years. “I used to take my guitar to work and write songs in the lunch hour when the shop was closed. I got the sack, eventually – best thing that ever happened to me.”
to have musical adventures. His most recent collaboration is a new song, Floating in Heaven, written with Brian May, Queen’s legendary guitarist.

For Your Love kick-started Gouldman’s songwriting career. He was fortunate that at no point did his artistic parents ever tell him that he needed to go out and get a ‘proper’ job. “They were extremely encouraging and nurturing”, he says. He was on a roll. Between 1965 and 1967 he wrote Heart Full of Soul and Evil Hearted You for the Yardbirds; Look Through Any Window (with Charles

Godley and Creme left the band in 1976 to work on other projects. There was a brief reforming for one album in 1991, but effectively Gouldman is now keeper of the flame, touring with other musicians under the name 10CC and also collaborating with different songwriters.

“Without the studio, we would never have formed 10CC. But we were able to be a house band, working for other musicians who wanted to record at Strawberry. I went back to America for a time and while I was away Kevin, Lol and Eric, calling themselves Hotlegs, released a single called Neanderthal Man – and it was a hit.”

He is admired as a writer, musician and producer by people throughout the industry, not least the legendary Beatles drummer, Ringo Starr. The latter has a rock supergroup called Ringo Starr’s All-Starr Band, every one of whom is a hitmaker in his or her own right. And so there was a lovely inevitability that there was an invitation to Gouldman, from Ringo, to play with the All-Stars, beginning in 2017.
“For a while,” he says, “it looked like I was going to be a jobbing songwriter, and that was absolutely fine with me, I didn’t mind that all.” Every song sold to another band did well, but Gouldman’s own bands couldn’t break into the hit parade. Eventually he was headhunted to work in New York as a writer for hire, a process he foundFinally,draining.inlate 1969, Gouldman persuaded his American bosses that he’d be happier and more productive working in the UK. He, Godley, another Jewish musician long-time friend, Lol Creme, and the former member of the Mindbenders, Eric Stewart, began to work in Stockport, just near south Manchester, in Strawberry Studios.
It produced a delicious Beatlesque ‘fan’ song, Standing Next To Me, by Gouldman, who confesses that he couldn’t quite believe he was on stage with Ringo. One of their tour dates was two nights in Tel Aviv, where Gouldman, extraordinarily, had never played – “the audiences were great. Everyone loves Ringo.” That includes Gouldman, who speaks with great enthusiasm about the warm atmosphere in the All-Starrs, and how well he got on withPerhapsStarr. some of the success of 10CC, Gouldman believes, lay in the fact that “three of us were Jewish and we had a sense of Jewish comedy”. The four guys, each multitalented, wound each other up, laughed and joked, drawing on their long history of friendship. Some of that, at least, is reflected in the songs, using subjects like American prisons (Rubber Bullets) or campus life (The Dean and I) rarely heard in pop music.
“The Yardbirds were a well-known rhythm and blues band, but they wanted to sell records, and so went to outside songwriters. I remember my manager, Harvey Lisberg, came round to my house with a demo tape and played their version. I was blown away. I was a fan of theirs and I’d been to see them”.
When they weren’t working for others, the four would write and record songs among themselves. The usual set-up was Gouldman and Stewart writing together, mirrored by Godley and Creme, but it was fluid. Finally, in 1972, the four had a song called Waterfall (written by Gouldman and Stewart) in which Apple Records, the Beatles’ label, had expressed interest. “We didn’t have a B-side,” but Godley and Creme offered Donna, a sort of doo-wop pastiche, “and we played it to [the pop impresario] Jonathan King”.
He regrets the split with Godley and Creme and still says: “We could have sorted it.” But, just as he was once happy to be a jobbing songwriter, Gouldman continues to make the best of whatever his musical life throws at him, seeing no reason to stop writing and performing “as long as I’m enjoying it”. He spent much of lockdown in his home studio, trying out new ideas and crafting new songs.

Soon musicians – including Neil Sedaka – began turning up at Strawberry, keen to work with Gouldman, Godley, Creme and Stewart, four still young but experienced people, who could turn their hands to anything. “We did everything. We did recordings of songs I’d written in America, we did football records (for Manchester City
King came up from London to see the quartet at Strawberry Studios. “He liked the song. He asked us if we had a name and we said no, because we weren’t a touring band.”Atthis point, allegedly, King said he had had a dream the night before, that he was standing outside the Hammersmith Odeon, on whose facade there was a giant slogan: “10CC, the best band in the world”. They agreed and, in July 1972, the band was born. (The other explanation of the origin of the band’s name is unsuitable for family reading.)
“We were only ever doing the music for ourselves,” says Gouldman. “We weren’t following any trend, and that’s why I think the songs haven’t dated.”
He can say that again: the day after our interview, a 1978 song written by him and Stewart, Dreadlock Holiday, was blasting out through my local Tesco, with shoppers happily dancing in the aisles. It doesn’t hurt, of course, that it became the theme music for Sky Sports’ cricket coverage.
Gouldman was in and out of a number of bands: there was the High Spots, the Crevattes, the Planets and the Whirlwinds. This last band used to rehearse at the north Manchester headquarters of the Jewish Lads’ Brigade (JLB), and effectively became the house band for JLB discos. One of the Whirlwinds’ guitarists was Stephen Jacobson, brother of future novelist Howard.After the Whirlwinds came the Mockingbirds, formed in 1965 – and this time there was a new bandmate, another Manchester Jewish friend, Kevin Godley. Gouldman, still only 19, wrote a new song: For Your Love, and the Mockingbirds recorded it. Nothing happened, until the publisher that Gouldman’s band shared with the Yardbirds gave them the song. With the unlikely addition of a studio harpsichord, it became a huge hit.

In the growing Israeli Druze town of Julis, Magen David Adom UK is building a station that will house an ambulance together with a team of medics.

Although I had some form of Holocaust education all of my life, nothing came close to visiting Auschwitz. In primary school my third-grade teacher, Mrs. Unger, was a survivor. Here and there she shared anecdotes, stories, and experiences she had had in the camps. She did it with the greatest sensitivities to the eight-year-olds that were in her care, but she did it, nonetheless. My high school shared a building with the Simon Wiesenthal Centre. Holocaust remembrance was, for us, an every-day occurrence.
Margalit and I visited Auschwitz last year with March of the Living UK. Our host, Scott Saunders and our own Cassie Ozer planned and directed the entire trip of delegations from many synagogues and organizations. There was even an interfaith bus led by Rabbi Harvey Belovski. Being there and seeing it in front of our eyes was deeply impactful. Among the experience that impacted me most was how close the crematoria were to the gas chambers. All of it so systematic, so morbidly and grotesquely efficient. The staggering and complete devaluing of human life was starkly glaring in the very architecture. Unlike me, Margalit had never been to a Holocaust Museum; Auschwitz was her first. She was angry and I watched her turn the large pages of the immense books holding the names of those who perished to see if she might find a relative of hers from Thessaloniki. We were privileged to have survivors on the trip with us. These survivors, now in their nineties, were young children or teenagers during the war. The survivors who were adults in the camps, whom I used to listen to when I was in primary school, were no longer with us. There are no more living witnesses who were adults during the Holocaust. And sadly, soon there will be no eyewitnesses at

As Elie Weisel said, when you hear the testimony of a witness, you too become a witness. And for that reason, we would like to take an S&P delegation to March of the Living 2023. March of the Living UK’s programme is educational, poignant, and meaningful. It allows the evidence to speak for itself while supporting the difficult experience with sensitive and thoughtful insight. More important than simply seeing it, is to witness it.

rise of antisemitism in the world and with deniers of the Holocaust increasingly emboldened, it is our responsibility in addition to remembering what was done to our people, to witness it and speak of it.

“I started in my mid 20s, so I’ve been at it a very long time. You can’t fundraise for 50 years without being able to go back to the same people year after year, so you can’t be impatient.

“£100million?” I ventured, not wishing to offend with a modest total. It turns out I’d missed out a zero or two. Over half a century, Baron Michael Levy of Mill Hill has raised a boggling £1billion for causes close to his heart. So, let’s begin with the

“At that time, in early 2020, I began our Zoom calls with a prayer for one of my closest friends, Michael Goldmeier, who had Covid. There he is,” Michael says, pointing to another of his framed pictures. “Michael was a dear friend for 50 years and a former chairman of Jewish Care. He was here in my home for Shabbat dinner in early March. One week later he became unwell. One week later he was in hospital and one week after that he passed away. His passing made the communal care campaign even more personal for me.”

To the Board, with its historic relationship with government going back centuries, or the JLC, which has impact and influence in a different way. It’s created a foggy situation which, in a small community like ours, is unhelpful. There needs to be clarity and transparency, so the government knows who it is dealing with.”
not just for Jewish Care but other Jewish charities like Nightingale, which faced similar issues. So, we fundraised for them all. £5million in one-week, shared between the charities. The community rose to the challenge quite brilliantly.

Michael has also faced daunting challenges as president of JFS, Europe’s biggest Jewish comprehensive school, which was recently taken out of special measures following a tragic period in which three pupils took their own lives and more than 6,000 people signed a petition urging the school to prioritise mental health. At its lowest ebb, Ofsted identified “deep-rooted and widespread failings in the school’s safeguarding culture”. The transformation under new headteacher, Dr David Moody, has been swift and successful, with students last month celebrating superb GCSE and A-level results.
Regarding coordination, or even a merger, between the Board of Deputies and Jewish Leadership Council, Michael is surprisingly blunt. “If Jewish Care, Nightingale or the Community Security Trust suddenly disappeared, it would have a devastating impact on the community. Do you honestly think if the Board of Deputies or Jewish Leadership Council vanished it would make such a difference? Look at the Board’s makeup.

Does this joint effort in combating Covid point the way to communal organisations working as one in future? “Well,” he says, an eyebrow raised. “That’s easier said than done. We’re a small community with too many organisations so, yes, we should cut back on duplication and overheads to put more into the provision of services. But, making that a reality, well…” Michael uncharacteristically leaves that sentence hanging in the air.
“JFS has been through a tough time,” Michael reflects. “There were tragic days, wonderful young lives were lost, and this impacted us all deeply. We now have an excellent new headteacher and recent results have been outstanding. It’s taken a lot of time and energy, led by our chair of governors, governing body and me in the background as president, to put the school back on the right footing. I speak to the head teacher every week and from everything I’m hearing the parents are starting to have their belief and confidence in the school restored. JFS has an excitingBeforefuture.”moving away from matters communal, Michael, unprompted, is scathing about the clandestine ownership of the Jewish Chronicl e. In 2020, an anonymous £2.2million bid derailed a community-backed merger with Jewish News at the eleventh hour. Two years later and the owner’s identity remains closely guarded (even the newspaper’s editor claims he is in the dark). The motive for such a cloakand-dagger routine has also raised concerns (the only named shareholder and director is former Downing Street spin doctor Sir Robbie Gibb, who fronted the
We meet the day Liz Truss became prime minister. Was Starmer happy to see the back of Boris Johnson, a consummate election winner and media performer? “Keir has every chance of becoming the next prime minister,” Michael predicts. “That makes him bad news for any Tory leader, be it Johnson or Truss. Keir is ready for an election before 2024, but I doubt that will happen – despite Liz Truss having no mandate.”
Michael also has high regard for what he calls Starmer’s “government in waiting”. He says: “Rachel Reeves (shadow chancellor) has a fantastic financial mind, David Lammy (shadow foreign secretary) and Yvette Cooper (shadow home secretary) are honest and genuine people and I’m close to Wes Streeting (shadow health secretary), who is a first-class guy. We have a very good front bench. They are ready to assume power.”
Indeed. Even staunch Conservatives concede the Opposition is now more electable than at any time since New Labour – an era Michael did so much to engineer.Hefirst

came to national prominence as Tony Blair’s chief fundraiser – cruelly dubbed “Lord Cashpoint” by the tabloids – and later served as his personal envoy to the Middle East. So, all eyes were on him during the darkest days of Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership. How close did he get to quitting the party? Michael pauses. “Very close. Tony told me to stay in the party. He said things would turn around and I needed to hold my ground and see it through. My family said the same. But yes, it was an incredibly difficult time. Nobody was more vociferously critical of Corbyn than me and I paid a price in the party. My life was Michael’sthreatened.”patience was rewarded at the 2019 general election when Corbynism collapsed under the weight of its own delusions. New leader Keir Starmer pledged from day one to make the party a home for Jews once more. Marks out of 10 so far?
On the passing of the Queen, who died three days after we met, Michael later reflects: “She truly understood that there are differences between peoples, but that there is much more that unites us. That sense of harmony, which has served this nation well during some difficult times, most certainly radiated through every interaction with her.”
He continues: “Keir will always have critics in our community; the same critics who don’t dare condemn the Tories. During the Conservative leadership campaign our new prime minister attacked the ‘woke civil service culture that strays into antisemitism’ and called Jews ‘business orientated’. The silence in the community to those words was deafening. Where was the criticism? Only the head of Union of Jewish Students had the gumption to take her to task.”
“I won’t give Keir a score. The key question is –did he set out with genuine sincerity to eradicate antisemitism? I have no doubt that’s precisely what he did. He was determined from the start to deal with the issue. He is a brave and honest man with an absolute moral compass. A man of dignity and principle. He could be making a fortune as a barrister but has given his career to his country. He will make an excellent prime minister.

LIFE jewishnews.co.uk 33 BARD TALK
TAO: My first experience with the play was very similar to Howard’s. We were reading it at school and I found it a really uncomfortable experience, mainly because of the laughter and the sort of baying at [Shylock’s words], ‘my ducats, my daughter’. I’ve never seen a production that sat easily with me, for many reasons. I don’t know whether the laughter, the hatred, or the pity, is worst. I find it a problematic play because, as Howard says,
HJ: That initial discomfort was a teenage boy’s discomfort. I was 14 and we were reading The Merchant of Venice in class, and the teacher said, ‘Jacobson, you’re Shylock.’ Right away, I thought, ‘I wonder why?’ I was not made uncomfortable because I thought it was antisemitic. I thought it was too philosemitic. It was the famous speech – ‘Hath not a Jew eyes?’ I was acting Shylock, and I did not want to hear myself, or him, making that plea for Jews.Ithought, ‘Well, this is not the Shakespeare I’m interested in; this felt
of Venice 1936. I’ve been working with Brigid Larmour, artistic director of the Watford Palace, to cut it down and reframe it, still using the original text, but with other elements added in.
TAO: I’m performing in The Merchant
So when I approached it, I wanted to see how the play would change if you made Shylock a widowed single mother, with a daughter. I was thinking about the toughness of Shylock. I wondered what would happen if you set it in the ’30s, and I based it on my bubbeh, and the tough Jewish women who had come here from Belarus, or the Pale of Settlement, and were so alien in this English world. Back then, a Jewish woman had to be able to strap a cow across her back while ideally her husband was a Talmud scholar. She’d have 14 children, but made her hovel look like a palace on Shabbat. She could survive rapes, beheadings, Cossack attacks [and] her sons being taken into the Russian army. These women were survivors but, to the aristocratic British, these tough balabustas were seen as unfeminine.Inmyexperience of standing up to antisemitism, I found a real intersectionality between misogyny and antisemitism, which also made me think, ‘What happens if you have a female Shylock? What if it is set in 1936, just before the Battle of Cable Street? What happens if you make Portia a sort of more intelligent Nancy Mitford? And what happens if these [Christians] are awful, Oswald Mosley acolytes, like the Bullingdon Boys, gone wrong?’
TAO: What is that?
like a special interest thing. It’s not what Shakespeare normally does. I didn’t like it. It was only when I was asked to write my own take on The Merchant [his 2016 novel, Shylock is My Name] that I remembered I’d not liked the play and had never taught it. But I said, ‘Okay, let me take a look,’ and the minute I did, it was not the play I remembered. It was entirely different. I started to get into its world of self-pitying gentiles, of loathsome, self-delighting, whingeing, moaning and whining, wheedling gentiles, who were also, very quickly, antisemites. I thought, ‘This is good stuff. This is fun.’ And this gives me an opportunity to say that anybody who says the play is antisemitic does not know how to read it! It’s not without its problems – there are always problems in Shakespeare, because he’s complex – but it was clear to me that this was a play about antisemitism as a subject. But it was no more promoting antisemitism than Macbeth promotes the murder of Scottish kids.
LM: Let’s go back to first principles. What did you dislike about the play, for all those years before you started to write?
Tracy-Ann Oberman and Howard Jacobson have always been less than comfortable with The Merchant of Venice. With the actress and writer poised to play the first female Shylock next year, Life Magazine invited her to discuss the play, its problems and its prejudices with the eminent novelist and Shakespeare specialist. They met on a summer evening in a Soho loft

HJ: It is the turquoise, it is Shylock’s turquoise ring. It is my favourite line in the whole play, when Shylock says, ‘It was my turquoise. I had it of Leah when I was a bachelor. I would not have given it for a wilderness of monkeys’ – this is when he learns that his daughter, Jessica, has stolen it, sold it and bought a monkey with the proceeds. My wife, Jenny, knew I loved this line and bought me the ring.

managed to get rid of all of that. She’s tough and she’s horrible, because she has to be tough and she has to be horrible. People had assumed I’ve made her terribly noble and that Shylock is going to be the heroine. On the contrary, it’s made me embrace what makes somebody think– if you want a monster, I’ll give you a monster. So she is really difficult, and tough.
The money-lender’s future Stage directions: Everything is taken from Shylock when he loses the court case because he is unable to take Antonio’s flesh without drawing blood. As a result, he has to forfeit half his wealth to Antonio and the rest to the Venetian state. But there is one more turn of the screw when Antonio insists that Shylock should also convert to Christianity.

The Shylock that Shakespeare gives us is someone who says, ‘I will play up to this version of me. It does me no good to do this. But it gives me a satisfaction, because it allows me to deride you and to sneer at your incapacity to treat me as a human being. And I will prove that more, by being this less-than -human being.’
TAO: Yes. But what I found quite liberating is that, whereas in other productions I’ve seen there’s a nobility to Shylock and a victim-like status, I’ve
TAO: I do think it’s an antisemitic play. Jews hate blood. It is not in our culture. The blood libel is so offensive because we don’t eat meat with blood. So this idea of Shylock taking the flesh and being told, ‘Thou shall not take a single drop of Christian blood’ carries on the blood libel.

LM: What do you think becomes of Shylock? In the play, Shakespeare gives him the line, ‘I am content’. In other words, he accepts the verdict and is ready to become Christian.

TAO: There’s a moment where my Shylock wants to befriend the Christian traders, Antonio and Bassanio. She tries to show them she is more than just this woman who may or may not lend money. It’s almost like she’s saying, ‘Look, I’m intellectual, I read, I understand the Talmud and I’m more than what you see here.’
HJ: [And actually, Shylock says] ‘I’m more than you, because you’ve read nothing, you know nothing.’ He dances rings around Antonio and Bassanio. They don’t know what to do with him. Maybe in making Shylock a woman, you might be able to give this another edge. He flirts, with that stuff about taking the pound of flesh ‘from... the part that pleases me most’.
TAO: And she flirts with Bassanio. But when he brings Antonio [to see Shylock], he’s playing two different games, which is sort of okay with a Jew, but deeply uncomfortable for his aristocratic friends. But it turns for me, in the Leah ring
HJ: I think ‘I am content’ is mystifying. I never want to say Shakespeare got it wrong. I always want to say he got everything right. But I don’t get ‘I am content’. I get that he may have decided Shylock will leave, completely broken by what these heartless swines, who dare to talk of mercy, have done to him. But who gav e them the idea of mercy anyway? They got it from Jesus and Jesus got it from the Jewish religion. I can see a defeated Shylock, but why he would say ‘I am content’ – I don’t know how to explain that. In my book, I wanted something else. My Shylock is not content. My Shylock is alive now, in the present, and boiling with rage; he isn’t capable of contentment. He has nothing but contempt for the Christian world and its treatment of him.
been broken. They’ve tried to destroy her – but Jews have faced worse and they do survive.
SCENE FIVE: The obsession with Jews TAO: I looked into Mosley, and he had big rallies, including one at the Royal Albert Hall. All the aristocracy came and heard Mosley’s ideas about Jews –they bloody loved it. But when he got to Earls Court, he cocked up. Mosley had these trained boxers, called the ‘Biff Boys’, but some Jews had infiltrated and, before Mosley could speak for more than three seconds, they kept putting up their hands to ask questions. Mosley couldn’t contain his anger and gave the nod to the Biff Boys to beat up the Jews. And that’s when the aristocracy said, ‘Gosh, he’s right about the Jews, but we don’t like this violence.’
INTERVIEW
HJ: Well, that’s the moment when the deal ‘the taking of the pound of flesh’ –which was some kind of a joke, and we don’t quite know what kind – suddenly becomes serious. You suddenly know the problems that Shylock has bringing up his daughter as a single father. This is what Shakespeare does, in one line. This man’s past is given to you, the degree of feeling is given to you. That’s why for me, it can’t be an antisemitic play, because antisemites do not see the human being in the person they are rude to.
HJ: But there’s no ghetto in Shakespeare’s Venice. Remember, he knew almost nothing about Jews. There were none in Elizabethan England. The mystery is why the Elizabethans were so interested in Jews and in plays that traduced Jews, such as Marlowe’s The Jew of Malta, when there are no Jews there.

HJ: We do live in the most horrible world I’ve ever lived in. These are horrible, horrible times. And you would wish therefore for very simple things: you’d want Ukraine to win, for the cost of living to come down. I want inflation to be reduced. I want to finish my next novel.
Roots Schmoots was a three-part film I made with my wife Jenny. We had a very nice, non-Jewish cameraman, who went through Israel with us and then through Lithuania listening to it all. At the end when we had our final dinner, he said, ‘It’s been so interesting to learn and to understand the basis of antisemitism.’ And then he said: ‘There’s one question that keeps nagging at me, why are Jews so interested in money?’
EPILOGUE
there was a ghetto in Venice in which Jews had to live, where their rights were inhibited.
TAO: One of the things I hadn’t fully appreciated was how deep antisemitism goes in this country, though the British like to think of themselves as incredibly tolerant. The idea of the Jewish moneylender, of the Jew being obsessed with money, ‘my ducats, my daughter’, was an English construct. The Jews did lots of different things in medieval times, but this idea of them being greedy, shifty,
ACT TWO, SCENE TWO: Ingrained antisemitism
TAO: My Shylock has a history of [being the target of] misogyny, mistrust and hatred. So for her, when she says to Antonio, ‘You call me cut-throat, dog and cur’, it really has a resonance. It really ties into my own experience of misogyny and antisemitism and tropes about Jewish women.

Shylock is My Name by Howard Jacobson, £9.99 from Waterstones
HJ: They didn’t know the difference. The Christians thought circumcision was castration. The blood libel comes partly from the belief that Jewish men needed Christian blood to replenish their
And then to have Shylock, Fagin and the Jew of Malta as the three archetypes in literature – it’s so unpleasant, so shameful. People don’t understand antisemitism. It is absolutely alive and kicking. The only thing is, these days, it has an acceptable form because they call it anti-Zionism.
Discussion chaired and reported by Jenni Frazer
HJ: Doesn’t matter. What makes a great writer is that imaginative leap into what it is to be somebody else. An absolute antisemite cannot make that leap, but if he/she did, they would cease to be an antisemite.
In Lithuania, they also have this wonderful expression: if you put something on inside out, it’s called ‘going Jew’. It’s not even thought about. I know no antisemitism is meant, it’s just an expression. But what’s deeper in our culture than its language? Is the idea that anything that’s the inverse of the natural, and the inverse of the normal, is a Jew? How the hell do you get rid of that?
TAO: And isn’t that because he’s such a great writer? Not because he’s doing it as pro-Jewish?
You could say that, in the play, Shakespeare atones for the antisemitism of his age, because although there’s lots of ugly stuff about Shylock’s Jewishness, I also think Shakespeare, with the imagination of a supreme artist, becomes interested in Shylock as an individual. His natural instinct is to go towards the person whom ordinary mankind despises, because he is not, himself, ordinary mankind. Shakespeare makes him human, and to make a person, who
LM: With Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur approaching, doesThe Merchant of Venice teach us anything about atonement?
LM: What are your hopes for the new year?
is the object of prejudice, human is an extraordinary thing.
HJ: I saw a production recently that wasn’t particularly sympathetic to Shylock. And the audience hissed at him. It was impossible to see what they were hissing at in the production. Quite a young audience, it was spontaneous, almost as if Shylock had come out of pantomime.Butwhatthe play shows is the depth of antisemitism. It’s just there. Shylock says to Antonio, ‘You called me dog before you knew me. Now I will show you my fangs.’ It reminds you of how ingrained antisemitism is in the Christian imagination.
own blood, because they bled all the time. Part of what terrified Christians about Jews was that if Jews circumcised themselves, what would they do to them?
ACT TWO, SCENE ONE: The meaning of the pound of flesh
HJ: Shylock does not atone, but then he hasn’t got anything to atone for. None of the gentile world in The Merchant of Venice is interested in atonement. They [also] don’t think they have anything to atone for. I think it’s an atonement-free play.
HJ: That’s antisemitism on the cheap. In Lithuania, they have a devil museum. I filmed it once. They’re all Jews. To the medieval mind, the Jew was terrifying because he was in cahoots with the devil. He smelled like the devil. Never forget there was a Jewish stench. It was the stench of hell-fire.
TAO: For me, Shakespeare cannot help but be influenced by the antisemitism of the day that he was brought up with, like all Englishmen. But I would flip that and say he is writing a play about a loathsome Jew, but because he’s such a great writer, he gives that character humanity.
The Merchant of Venice 1936 watfordpalacetheatre.co.uk:
HJ: But the minute you give a character humanity, you’ve rescued that character from the prejudice.
HJ: What did occur to me when I was writing this book was that the pound of flesh is actually a version of circumcision. I remember a TV programme I did about Shylock, and interviewing [Shakespeare scholar] James Shapiro. And I said to him, ‘I’ve got this idea. Do you think this is mad?’ Shakespeare isn’t saying Shylock is circumcising Antonio, but somewhere, [perhaps] in what he would have read, he would have come across misunderstandings of circumcision.
TAO: It was ever thus. We are a tiny community, and yet we fill headspace and column inches and social media feeds. People are obsessed. Why are they so obsessed?
LM: I think it might have been castration, rather than circumcision.

Thelma blushes again at the memory, letting slip she was not always someone who could bear the thought of being in the limelight. In fact, as a young child growing up in an Orthodox family in Leeds, Thelma Wigoder, as she was known, was painfully shy and never admitted to wanting to follow in the footsteps of her actress mother Paula. A child performer who matured into a leading lady, Paula was “gorgeous and had a beautiful voice – which I never had,” says Thelma modestly.
a special lunch they were hosting to mark Camilla’s 75th birthday. All the guests were “well-known people, all aged over 70, who have achieved something in their oldSheage”.recalls of that special day suddenly finding herself the centre of attention. “Giles stood up and gave a speech. He said: ‘Just a few weeks ago, I saw a lady give the most phenomenal performance. She made us laugh, she made us cry. She’s 97, she’s here today and her name is Thelma Ruby!’ I was asked to stand up and the audience burst into applause.”
A beaming Thelma, whose fresh complexion belies her age, reveals during our Zoom chat that it may have been too early to close the curtains on her career just yet. And what notable moments there have been in that career. She played Golde opposite Topol’s iconic Tevye in Fiddler on the Roof and she’s trodden the boards with Judi Dench in Cabaret, Michael Hordern in King Lear and Orson Welles in Chimes at Midnight. On screen she’s enjoyed stints in Dad’s Army and Coronation Street and only in recent weeks filmed a mockumentary alongside Kate Winslet.
“Someone recently asked me this. I’ve never smoked, I’ve never been a drinker. I do try and let troubles slide off me and I don’t think I’ve ever lost my temper. Then they asked, ‘Are you Jewish?’ And I said yes! Maybe that’s the secret? It’s all in the genes, you know.”
Whether she’s formally taken a bow from acting or not, Thelma reveals she still finds herself being asked to regale endlessly interesting tales of a life spent in entertainment. Her fans even include the newly titled Queen Consort, Camilla.
Thelma looks back at those early days of her career with as much fondness as her later successes, which include starring alongside Topol in a 1984 production of Fiddler on the Roof. She says of her co-star: “There are a lot of actors and actresses that other people warn you that won’t like, that they’re very difficult. And that’s what some people said about Topol. I can only say we became good friends and I loved working with him.”

to call it, ‘Every Night Something Awful’,” she laughs.
She travelled to hospitals all over the country to bring cheer to convalescing soldiers. She remembers “one whole audience of boys who had been blinded, another audience of boys who had lost limbs”. On VE Day in 1945, Thelma was asked to sing for young pilots who had “been shot down in flames” and suffered serious burns. “Boys with no faces, no noses, no ears,” she tells me. “But what an audience they were. How they cheered!”
Thelma blesses the “good luck I’ve had all my life.” She adds: “To have found such a happy career, to have found even at 45 a wonderful husband and have 21 wonderful years together and to be acting at the age of 97 – and still feel fine!” While she and Peter did not have children, she is close to Peter’s daughter from a previous marriage, and through her enjoys 10 grandchildren and 47 greatgrandchildren.Ishappiness key to a long life, I ask?
She is equally admiring of Judy Dench, who she co-starred alongside in 1968 in Cabaret and remains a close friend. Thelma recalls: “There’s a part where I’m facing the audience and she has her back to the audience listening to me doing a monologue. Eight shows a week nobody

Three months ago, the Leeds-born Jewish actress announced that her one-woman show at The Pheasantry in West London would be her last, but it seems there might be an encore. “I did announce it would be my last, but one of the people there said, ‘If you’re feeling as well as you do now just before your 100th birthday, I think you should take a theatre and say you will do your one-woman show.’ So, I can’t honestly say I’ve retired!”
helma Ruby is both a marvel and a rarity. The veteran actress has not only enjoyed a career touching almost 80 years, featuring an enviable list of co-stars that reads like a Who’s Who, but remarkably she only just announced her retirement from stage and screen at the grand age of 97. Or so we had all thought.

Another personal highlight of her career was meeting Israel’s first female prime minister, Golda Meir. She and her actor husband Peter Frye, who were married from 1970 until his death in 1991, adapted the play Momma Golda about the premier’s life.

She says of visiting Golda Meir at her home: “If there hadn’t been a security man outside, you wouldn’t have known she was special. She lived in a simple bungalow and opened the door herself. She even made the tea! Golda, who was a known chain smoker, said to me: ‘I want you to do me a favour.’ I said of course, what is it Mrs Meir? She said, ‘I saw the original play, Golda, on Broadway and Anne Bancroft stooped. I don’t stoop!’ I told her, ‘I promise you I won’t stoop, but you are giving me another problem - I don’t smoke!’ We had a lovely afternoon.”

of its kind to be released with synchronised sound.
Born in 1901 in Chicago, Illinois, Walter Elias Disney loved to sketch from a young age and would sell his drawings to family and friends. In 1919, he moved to Kansas, seeking work as a newspaper cartoonist, but his brother Roy had bigger ideas for him, pushing him to gain employment at an art studio. It was there that Disney met Ub Iwerks, and the three of them eventually set up on their own. Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, one of their first creations, was followed by the creation of Mickey Mouse and, while Disney had incredible drawing skills that brought to life the animation, it was chief animator Iwerks who made the Mouse mighty. The 1928
Walt supported many Jewish foundations, including the Hebrew Orphan Asylum of the City of New York, so the very idea of him hating Jews becomes almost comedic, providing fodder for TV shows such as Family Guy and Saturday Night Live, o en portraying Walt Disney as a paranoid antisemite. These

Meryl Streep certainly had something to say on the matter in 2014 while presenting the best actress award to Emma Thompson for her role in Saving Mr Banks. But her speech, peppered as it was with accusations of misogyny and bigotry, while applauded in some camps was considered by others to be a distortion of the truth about Disney. So, while Walt did indeed join the antisemitic, anti-communist Motion Picture Alliance for the Preservation of American Ideals, one of his most important messages was that good will always triumph over evil. He was very clear that the aim of joining was to work positively against communism and fascism in film and American culture, alongside many of the Hollywood elite who joined him, including Barbara Stanwyck, John Wayne and future US president Ronald Reagan.
With imitation being the sincerest form of flattery, in 1930s Egypt three young Jewish men – Herschel, Shlomo and David Frenkel – saw and loved what Disney had done with animation and, despite considerable political obstacles, pioneered cartoon animation. With the advent of Israeli independence in 1948, riots erupted against Egyptian Jews, and the Frenkels escaped to France. It was di icult to regain the level of success they’d had and their reels gathered dust. These films are now being restored in France, with their Egyptian homeland starting to recognise the significance of the brothers’ early work in the animated film industry.

Opinions aside, the Disney brand has brought happiness to many, and next year marks the 100th anniversary of The Walt Disney Company and the 50th anniversary of Walt Disney World, so it’s a fitting time to look at the long and illustrious history of Disney’s cartoon studio, parks, cruises, franchises such as Pixar, and everyone’s favourite lockdown purchase – Disney+.
uring his lifetime, Mr Walt Disney was not considered particularly controversial but, a er his death in 1966, the Disney magic began to unravel; he was accused of being sexist, racist and antisemitic, with much of the information quite compelling. While some figures in history are totally irredeemable, Walt Disney’s supposed flaws are probably overlooked because of the joy he brought (and still brings) to billions.

Neal Gabler, author of Walt Disney: The Triumph of the American Imagination, carried out extensive research of the company’s archive and found no evidence of ill behaviour, “unless you count casual antisemitism that virtually every gentile at the time would have had”. Indeed, Gabler went on to comment on the many Jewish employees working there, so much so that Walt himself said the New York o ice had “more Jews than the Book of Leviticus”.

Walt favoured the movie message that good would always triumph over evil, which keeps us watching the films (with or without children), and singing Disney songs. The Jewish Sherman Brothers wrote many of them, including The Bare Necessities, but The Lion King by Elton John and Tim Rice is the most popular, and the 2018 remake from Jewish director Jon Favreau is now Disney’s highest-rated animated movie ever, grossing $1.3bn.

From 1984 to 2004 Michael Eisner (of a luent Jewish New York stock) was the CEO who made Disney a major film studio. He brought in Je rey Katzenberg as chairman and increased film production. It wasn’t all good, as their first computer-generated animated feature was the farkakte Black Cauldron, which cost $40m and bombed at the box o ice. This forced a move for the animation department from Burbank to Glendale, but the postcode downgrade led to the ‘Disney renaissance’ that began with The Little Mermaid, then Beauty and The Beast and Aladdin. Jewish CEOs also made a lot of deals, but the one with Pixar in 1991 delivered Toy Story and, a er that, DIsney’s market value rose from $2bn to $22bn).

As emotional people, we love Disney’s tear-jerking storylines – think Mary Poppins flying away. It was in this 1964 film that Walt cast Jewish actor Ed Wynn as Uncle Albert. Make of that what you will. Even with Jews at the helm, it took until 2016 for Disney to give us a Jewish princess, in the form of Rebecca in Elena of Avalor, a tribute to Sephardic culture that felt good. Just as singing It’s A Small World will do next time you’re on a ride, because the Sherman Brothers wrote the song.
Inspiring Walt Disney: The Animation of French Decorative Arts at The Wallace Collection is a highly innovative take on the magic of Disney. This collaboration with New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art displays shows how French 18th century rococo clocks, tea sets, carriages, furniture and paintings were transformed by 20th century American animation to be used in Disney films.

As our motto says:
ooking for a care home for yourself or a loved one? Then you could do no better than to join us as part of our Springdene family. Unlike other care homes, which are often part of large corporations, we are a family business. And we’re still run by the same family that founded it more than 50 years ago. New residents at Springdene can be sure of a warm reception. All our homes – Spring Grove in Hampstead, Spring Lane in Muswell Hill and Springview in Enfield – are rated as good by the Care Quality

Mariano with his wife sorrow:

Mia Janin, aged 15, took her own life on Friday 12 March 2021 because she was being bullied. In person and online. Her absence fills the house. Sorrow reverberates in every space. Where she once stood, cuddled her beloved toy
Husband and wife went to the same school and university in Buenos Aires, studied architecture, worked together and enjoyed cultural trips to Europe with an ever-curious Mia. Those are the memories to which Mariano clings, but not Marisa, as she died four months after her daughter.

He battles with answers to that question every day, surrounded by files Marisa collated, but there have been no answers, not even at the many continuing inquests. But Mariano, 58, didn’t agree to speak to Life Magazine to simply reiterate the details of his daughter’s final decision. He knows the community was shocked and that he is now recognised by people whose names he doesn’t know. They may have seen him on TV, as there is lots of media interest, and he is working with the NSPCC with other bereaved parents fighting for government changes in the way social media operates and grants (or doesn’t) parental access.

The hopes and dreams parents have for their children were stolen from him forever. Mariano could have spent the years ahead reminiscing about his only child with her mother, Marisa.
M ia Janin was a cheerleader. She also went to Sylvia Young Theatre School at weekends and to Camden with friends. And she loved music. All kinds of music, because she grew up to the sounds of opera, jazz and bossa nova that her South American parents enjoyed. She had her own favourites and memorably danced around the living room to Kate Bush’s Wuthering Heights. An avid reader, Mia was captivated by Emily Bronte’s novel
that inspired the song and she saw two film adaptations. “She preferred the one made in 1939,” says her father, Mariano, and places Mia’s copy of Wuthering Heights on the table.
Given the middle name Vera after her father’s youngest sister who died in the Holocaust, Marisa then honoured Roshi, the brother he lost, by giving Mia the Hebrew name of Rachel.
Har HaZetim. I have learned since that to get a place there is very hard. And one day that’s where...” His voice trails away and he gets up. He is crying. “Excuse me,” he apologises, needlessly, because I am crying too.
Solace eludes Mariano, who doesn’t believe in anything except God. When a friend gave him a copy of Dr Edith Eger’s The Choice: Embrace the Possible, which is described as ‘the key to freedom for those imprisoned within their own minds’, he liked it. He was also intrigued by the eminent psychologist author because she is an Auschwitz survivor, now aged 94, who worked with veterans and victims of physical and mental trauma.
“Last Yom Kippur I spent the whole day at home. I fast, but didn’t feel the need to go to shul. In this house I have Yizkor every day.”
treated by the Jewish community. “I’m not talking about all of the UK or even all of London, but there are people in north-west London who are cliquey and self-entitled and who decide who their children should socialise with and if your postcode fits. This was my family’s experience when we arrived in London, and it continued. That’s why we preferred the acceptance of the Chabad congregation. For them, it doesn’t matter where you come from – you’re a Jew.”
Mariano is still deeply troubled by the lack of support from those who retreated and stuck together and by Mia’s school. “No one phoned me from the school. Not one call. No one was forthcoming about what happened. Just silence.”

Mariano will never be silent. “I have nothing to lose,” he says. “No one took accountability for what happened to Mia and nothing has changed. The same governors were at the school. It had happened before. If bullies get impunity, they don’t learn any lessons.”
Without change, Mariano thinks, there will be more cases like Mia’s. “Something is missing – the transmission of basic Jewish values. The school is governmentfunded, but governed by a religious body. They can manage marriages and burials, but don’t know about educating children in today’s “Children’sworld.lives are so different to when we were young. They are bullied and cyberbullied and they are much less resilient after spending two years being socially isolated through the pandemic.”

“The friend who gave me her book set up a Zoom with her for me. It was meant to be for 20 minutes but we spoke for two hours. She was amazing and told me that when you survive you are alone and see things in a different way because your perspective changes. You realise that life is a finite thing.”
That he is able to converse at all and occasionally smile suggests that Mariano is a survivor, but he is a long way from giving up a victim’s blame. How can he, when among his many happy family photos is the distressing image of two graves on Har HaZetim (The Mount of Olives). Marisa’s name is on one and the grave beside her is marked Mia.
“I’m glad my parents didn’t see what happened to me. When we lose our parents, it’s always painful, but it’s the natural order. We miss them, but we accept it, moving forward as an orphan. When I lost Marisa, I became a widower. Interestingly, there is no word in English, Spanish, Hebrew or possibly any language to define someone who loses a child. It’s just ‘tragedy’.”
“Marisa didn’t want Mia to be buried in Bushey or Edgwarebury cemeteries,” says Mariano. “She wanted to take Mia out of this country to Israel. Everybody said it would be impossible, but we found space for her in the Chabad section of

family from the town of Pápa. He never talked of his experiences to Marisa, whose cousin is the Chief Rabbi in Russia, but she organised the testimony he gave to the Steven Spielberg Foundation and his German reparation payments.”
I meet with Mariano a week after Marisa’s yahrzeit. He will spend another Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur without her and without Mia. Only Lola, who never leaves his side, will be there.

Mariano’s muted anger is etched across his tired face. He has been diagnosed with giant cell arteritis, a serious vascular illness he has under control, but it’s exacerbated by stress. The kind of stress born out of being denied justice. Marisa Janin never went upstairs again after Mia died and her room is how she left it. Her father is not ready to face what needs to be done.
Mariano’s Austrian grandparents sought safety in Argentina, but they and his parents are gone now. He has a sister in Mexico and another in Jerusalem as his support network; cousins around the globe and London friends who refused to leave him alone when Marisa died.
“I don’t know if I will ever get any kind of closure. Friends say I should meet another woman, start another family. This will not give me closure. I will not replace my lovely wife and daughter with another... I don’t need to fall in love again because I knew real love.”
survive. But I also think when you pray, you need to understand the words and pray from your heart. You also need to teach your kids to be respectful. There are 613 mitzvot to follow.”
Mariano had another Zoom with the author, who sent him a copy of her book, The Gift: A Survivor’s Journey to Freedom, including her list that determines the difference between survivors and victims.
And he is so deliciously Jewish, with his “Oy” after each bite or impromptu hunt for rugelach in Zabar’s NYC. The most precious Jewish element is the inclusion of his parents, Helen and Max, on video calls, littered with misheard words and interruptions. “I still think they were the best part of the show,” says Phil.

“It’s the response I get. I was just out driving, heard a honk, and saw a family in the next car waving wildly at me. So I rolled down the window and they told me how much they love the show. I would be crazy to want to give up the beautiful interaction I have with people.” And that’s what he gets wherever he goes, as well as acceptance from his Jewish fans, who look the other way when he salivates over prawns or goes lobster trawling – then eats them.
Phil isn’t religious, but always fasts on Yom Kippur. “I do it because it ties me to my roots, to my parents, their parents and beyond. I feel it in a spiritual way, not a religious way, if that make sense? I see it as good for the soul. And what bigger sacrifice is there for a food fan than fasting?”
That there will be more seasons of Somebody Feed Phil is surely a no-brainer for Netflix, as there is nothing more enjoyable than watching the gregarious fellow who co-wrote Everybody Loves Raymond fly somewhere to nosh. But there’s more to it than that for Phil.

“My mother always claimed not to care, until she was recognised in the street. Then she lit up like a Christmas tree.”Having spent his early years in New York with little money, Phil wanted to take his parents to the restaurants he once saved up to visit. “They thought I was out of my mind spending $100 on a dinner, when I could barely afford rent. So when I could afford to take them to French restaurant Lutèce (now closed), they went just to humour me. My mother complained until she took a bite of the food, then said: ‘This happens to be very good.’”

Given Phil’s taste for ‘haute cuisine’, one might assume (wrongly) that his mother had honed his taste buds; she wasn’t a great cook. However, she did get a four-star rating for her matzo ball soup from Michelinstarred chef Daniel Boulud (episode 6/ season 2). “You’re either brought up with great food and appreciate it or you seek it out. My dad just wanted what he wanted and finished whatever was put in front of him. Give him fluffy scrambled eggs, and he was the happiest man in the world. ‘Are my eggs fluffy?’ is the inscription on his gravestone; on my mother’s, beside his, it says – ‘I’m listening to the opera.’ That’s what they cared about most.”

ne thing’s for sure. Phil Rosenthal will never go hungry. And he won’t ever have to wait for a table, because his face gets him to the front of a restaurant queue. “I will stand in line if I really want something, as not everyone has seen the show,” he concedes. “But the worst words in the world are – ‘Do you know who I am?’ I never want to be that guy.”

Phil could never be ‘that guy’. Channelling boundless charm, he gets bestie hugs from chefs in the world’s best eateries. For five seasons – with a sixth due to air from 18 October – his Netflix hit show, Somebody Feed Phil, has made him the most wanted diner. Whether he’s eating gold egg in Lisbon’s 2 Michelin star Belcanto or kvelling over a herring sandwich at Tel Aviv’s Sherry Herring, as viewers we subliminally enjoy the food too.

others. While ‘renewable’ is a term most used when it comes to the environment, it is also apt here; the organisations funded by Si3, which are chosen carefully by a team of experts in London, are able to use and reuse that funding, changing their environment for the better.
Altogether the organisation has 19 projects in its portfolio, ranging from a bank specifically for Ethiopian origin entrepreneurs and a company that uses gaming to break down barriers between di erent groups in Israel, to a child-run chocolate factory that gives struggling kids a wage and confidence.Thechocolate factory scheme

On the other side of Israel, in the Carmel mountains near Haifa, Druze teacher Maisa Halaby-Elshiekh was pondering how women in her community could find satisfying work outside of the house while still abiding to rules that didn’t allow them to leave their village. Just a few years later, she has close to 100 women working for a hi-tech hub leading teams of coders all over the world – yet still remaining in their village.

“For many of the women it is the first time they have had a salary and the first time they have independence; when you get that it changes your mindset and how you value yourself,” says Maisa. “I hear a lot from the women about how they appreciate themselves – they have powers they didn’t realise.“Ithas an impact on their husbands and even on their children, who are proud to see their mums work and want to learn more themselves about computer science.

This start-up is working on di erent trials to revolutionise the way cancer is treated. A simple blood test – the result of a decade’s research – could soon allow doctors to provide personalised treatment plans to cancer patients, following trials that have focused on patients diagnosed with advanced stages of melanoma or non-small cell lung cancer.

Around 11,000 patients in England across 40 areas of the country took part in an initial trial in the hope that this would both replace more invasive methods of screening and save lives. This groundbreaking invention has since expanded, with the Royal Free London continuing to use each capsule type, which – along with the small bowel – also includes the upper gastrointestinal tract and colon. Around 42,000 people are diagnosed with bowel cancer in the UK each year.
to film tumours in the gut, supporting early detection of Crohn’s disease, bowel cancer, obscure bleeding or anaemia. Using breakthrough technology, such as advanced optics and imaging, a ‘TV studio’ is squeezed into a jelly bean-sized capsule, providing a video recording that can span the entire six metres of the small bowel and seven metres of the digestive tract from the mouth to the rectum.

Food tech is no longer a novelty; it’s a necessity. Food production contributes more than one-third of global greenhouse gas emissions, much of it from dairy farming and meat production. According to the Good Food Institute (GFI) – a non-profit organisation that seeks to promote research and innovation in food technology – a transition away from animal protein “has the potential to deliver 14 to 20 percent of the emissions mitigation the world needs until 2050 to stay below 1.5°C.” The adoption of alternative proteins has the potential to “dramatically slow climate change,” McKinsey alternativeandtech,restaurantretailingredients,meat,systems,safety,packaging,includingseveralFoodtechreports.coversareas,nutrition,foodprocessingculturednovelandhealthwellnessandproteins.

Eli Nir, a senior investment partner at the company, explains: “The planet has a rapidly rising population and there are already acute shortages of fresh water and food. People are starving and we have the solutions to save them. Through innovation, we can replace meat and dairy proteins in short supply with alternatives that don’t harm the environment. We can reduce land, water and fertiliser use while increasing food production.

“It is now a scientific consensus that, if we keep going this way, by 2030 we will eliminate the ability to keep the planet sustainable for the medium term.”
“The data around animal agriculture as a massive contributor to greenhouse gas emissions is staggering,” says Aviv Wolff, Remilk CEO. “Imagine that cows were a country: a recent McKinsey report showed that such a country would be the second largest greenhouse gas emitter in the world, second only to China! Today, foodtech is where Israeli innovation meets the global climate“Remilkchallenge.takes up the gauntlet in the battle against climate change by producing identical dairy protein without using a single cow. The combination of a scalable dairy protein with the sheer impact that precision fermentation has on the carbon footprint is catching the attention of global corporates and policy makers, setting the stage for significant investments in the field and paving the way towards a better tomorrow.”
CEO and co-founder Maya Ashkenazi Otmazgin, says: “Though sustainability is essential, we must ensure that healthy and nutritious food is equally important. In order to fulfil both agendas, we have to use current technologies from the pharmaceutical world to establish relevant methods in the food industry. Only then will we create a difference.”
There is also a trend away from dairy production. Remilk, a developer of animalfree dairy – which has raised $130m so far – secured the second-largest investment raised by an Israeli food tech start-up and the single largest in a cow-free dairy company.
Mermade is on a mission to create seafood from cells, subsequently cutting production costs. This could be a game changer because growth media have made alternative proteins prohibitively expensive. Daniel Einhorn, CEO and co-founder, says: “I know for a fact it would lead to a huge calamity if we didn’t have these [food] technologies. Our future is definitely in the hands of Mermade and other food and climate tech companies.

“Reducing meat consumption is a growing cultural trend in Israel,” says Ari Ben Dror, assistant director at GFI Israel. “The nation has the highest percentage of vegans and vegetarians in the developed world. It’s safe to say Israelis are comparatively well-informed about the environmental harms of meat production. Yet, globally, Israel is number one in per capita poultry consumption and number four in per capita beef consumption. So, clearly, diet change is not the solution to this“GFI’sproblem.number one goal is for governments to put resources into both open access R&D [research and development] in the field of alternative proteins, as well as promote private sector incentives for R&D and manufacturing. This is about producing the exact product people love and want to eat – but from plants and from cell cultivation. The whole climate community is advocating for decarbonising energy, but they are almost all completely asleep in the meat industry, beyond suggesting people should eat less meat.”
The Israeli government recognises foodtech as a huge growth opportunity. In June, it earmarked more than $1m for an Alternative Protein Research Grant Programme with the ministries of agriculture, innovation, science and technology in partnership with GFI Israel,
Israeli cultivated meat companies raised $507m in 2021, led by Future Meat, which raised $347m for a production plant in the US, and Aleph Farms, which raised $105m. Redefine Meat, which counts Marco Pierre White among its fans, netted a further $135m this year to help with its expansion plans.

The combination of these facts provides a tremendous stimulation to the Israeli tech ecosystem to pivot and target the climate tech field. The governmental encouragement will join the already existing passion of Israeli entrepreneurs to generate impact and cultivate solutions for the world’s climate challenge, which will doubtlessly position Israel as a global powerhouse of climatetech.”
Israel’s foodtech sector is intensifying. But so is climate change. It is clear that both private and public sector support is needed at all levels to foster alternative protein growth and innovation, ensuring that Israel becomes a superpower and continues to play a key role in securing its future, and that of the wider world. It is certainly in pole position to do so.

“The result would be a feedback loop in which sustainability strengthens resilience and vice versa. For innovation to support a transition of our food systems back into balance, business strategies and policy agendas need to align more firmly.”
Earlier this year, GFI Israel published a report urging the government to put together a national strategy to support the country’s growing foodtech industry if it hopes to maintain a key role in the sector over the coming years. Part of this strategy would include building an infrastructure to support the local industry, in the form of multidisciplinary research centres, technology transfer programs, research grants and training, and specific innovation hubs for cultivated meat, plant-based proteins, and fermentation tech start-ups. The GFI report suggested about NIS 1.4bn ($450m) will be required over the next 10 years to set out on this path, with the Israeli government supplying about 56 percent of this funding, with the rest drawn
Jonathan Morris, a partner and coleader of the Israel Practice and the Food and Agribusiness Practice at Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner, says: “Israel’s burgeoning foodtech sector has a critical role to play in helping us meet the twin challenges of food security and sustainability. Both the Israel Innovation Authority and the private sector must continue to invest in new foodtech start-ups as they seek to bring innovative products to the market.”

When Kushan is not making foodie magic in Borehamwood, he is catering functions large and small from private dinners and barmitzvahs to weddings and launch parties for Amazon – yes, really. Last month, he catered an enchanted forest-themed dinner to celebrate the new series of Lord of the Rings – The Rings of Power. Rather fitting really, as Kushan is definitely lord of the kitchen. LW

A beautifully refreshing and exceptionally pretty glass poke bowl is the perfect way to start a feast such as this, while a rich Japanese-style fish soup with chunks of salmon and creamy confit garlic combines sunny flavours with autumnal warmth. The blackened cod is here, with grilled bok choi, and a sweet and sour tofu with mixed veg and toasted sesame seeds.

Cacao Bean Café opened in Leeming Road, Borehamwood, earlier this year, with a bi-monthly carousel of tapas menus. The first two were general tapas with some outstanding signature dishes, such as blackened cod and miso aubergine, and then Kushan started to specialise. In July, he opened up the bifold doors to welcome in the sunshine as he launched a Sri Lankan menu focusing on dishes from his home country. This month, as the evenings start to draw in, he is taking us to Japan with a longerthan-usual list of exotic dishes and twists on regularKushanfavourites.hasaunique gift for putting flavours and textures together, so that the humble cauliflower comes to life with a five-spice coating, before being roasted to a succulent finish and crunched up with toasted peanuts.

He has worked in hotels and restaurants, been to catering college, worked for a catering company, set up his own catering company, and now set up his own restaurant – is there any avenue that Kushan Marthelis won’t explore to bring his unique and exceptional cooking to the table?

Bhageecha in Elstree numbers amongWhatthem.was once The Fishery pub and restaurant has been totally revamped and is now modern and spacious, with a floral theme running throughout its Passi Flora bar, Bloom and palm room.
My companion was a friend who doesn’t do spicy and is a slow eater – her losses, my gains. Our waitress pointed out the milder dishes and she tried the kurkure bhindi – crispy fried okra (India’s answer to zucchini fritti), while I went for the pani puri – puffed wheat bubbles filled with potato and served alongside a teapot of tangy water. One takes the puri and fills it with the liquid, eating it in one go. They were very spicy and I had to take all six for the team. A vegetarian dum biriyani was tastier than it sounds, but I didn’t pay attention to my friend’s chicken dish, not being in my ‘no-meat-out’ radar. Neither did I look at the signature dishes, fish mains or appetiser platters. They will have to wait for next time. The desserts sounded amazing. We were full, but I heard myself asking for a kulfi with two spoons.

SOHO VEGGIE
Despite Melissa’s main attraction being meat (massive portions of delicious-looking charcoal-grilled skewers of lamb and chicken), we managed to find plenty to eat. We began with mixed starters of hummus, falafel, cacık (tsatsiki), tarama and patlıcan sosu (delicious peppers and aubergine in a tomato sauce) with never-ending offers of more pita bread.
For mains, we had sea bream and sea bass. Mine was with rice, my husband’s with chips (which he wolfed down before I could get a look in). The fish was extremely fresh and tasty. Had I closed my eyes, I could have imagined I was eating it in a little family-run restaurant on the shores of the Mediterranean.

There’s also a large high-stool counter seating area around the bar, rough hewn walls, industrial lights and plants hanging from the ceiling and it’s very lively. So far, so fun. The cocktail list is short but cute (a lemon and lavender spritz for my daughter); the wine list is fairly extensive with interesting-sounding wines, such as Uovo and Sketta (which is orange and delicious).

We wanted everything on the menu. We had a tahini-based grapefruit ‘ezme’ into which we dipped soft and chewy laffa (other options are challah and pita), then a leek and amba (mango sauce) skewer and a charred oyster mushroom skewer, both of which were superb – one delightfully sweet, the other deeply savoury. Next was plate of fabulous falafel with sumac onions and halloumi baked in fennel honey, which was hands-down the bestThere’sdish.
cauliflower, of course – a large quarter with leaves ‘n’ all, cooked to a crisp and served with tomato and yoghurt to dip it into. Confit potato latkes are unlike any latkes you’ve ever had and vesuvio tomatoes with mango and cumin are sunny and full of flavour – just divine. Naturally, there’s malabi for dessert and, naturally, it has a twist, in the form of a sour cherry purée and crushed peanut butter brittle on the top. We had little coconut and tahini fudge squares too. This was a stunning meal. Did I mention it’s a totally veggie restaurant? There’s absolutely no meat or fish. None. Did I miss them? Absolutely not! LW www.bubala.co.uk

Summers and Helen Graham have opened their second branch of Middle Eastern vegetarian restaurant Bubala, whose original Spitalfields venue I went to last year when restrictionsCovidwerestill in place, meaning we had to Eat Up and Get Out by 10pm. It is sacrilege to rush a meal with this level of innovation, this complexity of flavours, this standard of cooking.TheSoho branch is larger than its sister venue, with an open kitchen at the back.

It’s a gorgeous blush pink and gold haven of prettiness, with a magnificent central tree climbing up to a stunning retractable glass roof (like being on Centre Court!) so it’s like being outside even when you’re inside... just like at TheTheSummerhouse.foodisfabulous and well-priced. We started with fish tacos, duck bao buns, quesadillas and mac and cheese bites –thumbs-up all round. Then beautiful pan-fried lemon sole, lovely and thick. A half rotisserie chicken with so much flavour and so tender, and a burger that presented as two.

Melissa in Canons Park is a great venue for a good Turkish nosh-up. A spacious restaurant with beautiful chandeliers, colourful Byzantine murals and attentive staff makes for an extremely pleasant and relaxed dining experience. Two plasma screens showed reels of exotic holiday destinations and, more than once, my husband’s attention wandered to them from my scintillating conversation.
There were vegetarian options too – everyone is catered for at Melissa. We were stuffed but tempted by the extensive dessert menu, Tony choosing baklava, which came with squirty cream and chocolate sauce and me a Tartufo Scuro – a coffee and egg cream bombe style ice cream.

TURKISH TREAT
It takes a brave man to open a restaurant these days... and a brilliant one to get it right. And brave, brilliant Mitch Tillman of The Summerhouse and The Waterway has got it absolutely right with his latest venture, Oak & Poppy in Hampstead, which opened last month.
London-based teenagers in the eighties basically grew up in Soho and it may have changed almost beyond recognition, but I still love the cacophony of little streets and the vibe that prevails. Soho, to me, is the beating heart of the West End and home to some of the best and most innovative restaurants in our city. Here is where Marc

We finished with a superb pecan pie – phenomenally good buttery pastry, crunchy caramelised pecans and salted caramel ice cream. There’s an easyreading wine list plus some interesting options I’d not seen before. The service is great, the atmosphere is terrific and, at long last, there’s somewhere decent to eat in Hampstead.

Whiskey is distilled beer and is made in a variety of styles throughout the world. Boondocks American Whiskey is a creamy-smooth, sweet, 11-year-old tawny-coloured whiskey. The bouquet is redolent of honey, fennel and rye spice, while the taste is dominated by corn sweetness, with a touch of rye spice and a toffee note on the finish (£49.99).BenEideann Fionain

Israelis are no stranger to tasty food, the latest technology and being ahead of the trend. Therefore, it is no surprise that they created a vegetarian food brand that is kosher, tastes good and is accessible, versatile and easy to use. What’s more, it fits in perfectly with the trend to eat more healthily. And the kids love it, so everyone is a winner.

Eau de vies – un-aged fruit brandies – are made by fermenting crushed fresh fruit and double distilling the resulting fruit wine in a copper pot still. There are only a handful of kosher eau de vies on the market, and one of the very best is Bokobsa Boukha. Made from figs, this clear eau de vie has a rich, oily, mouthfeel, with a light flavour and aroma of dried figs with a hint of butterscotch (£32.99).
Cognac, the famous brandy of southwestern France, is made primarily from Ugni Blanc grapes, which are crushed and fermented, distilled twice in copper pot stills, and aged for two years in French oak barrels.

Louis Royer’s more affordable VSOP Cognac is a smooth, medium-bodied blend of younger brandies, with flavours of caramel, mocha, figs, cinnamon, cardamom and allspice (£59.99).

L’chaim – to life – is the traditional toast, particularly when drinking spirits. Spirits were historically viewed to be life-imbuing and, indeed, many names for common types of liquor – whiskey, eau de vie, aquavit – mean ‘water of life’. As you celebrate the beginning of a New Year of life, toast l’chaim with one of the growing number of kosher spirits now available from Kedem.
Because the Tivall range is vegetarian or vegan, this also means it is parev, enabling us to make tasty dishes that come very close to their nonkosher counterparts. I’m talking about using Tivall veggie beefless ground mince to make a spaghetti bolognese with grated cheese on top, a korma curry using Tivall beef-style pieces or a good old delicious burger with a melted cheese slice. These meals are perfect for all family members, not just the veggie or vegan ones. Yes really, you don’t have to make different food for everyone!
Arak is made from a combination of grape distillate and aniseed.

Tivall was one of the first companies to recognise the growing market for meatfree products and was established in 1985 by Gazi Cohen and members of Kibbutz Lohamei HaGeta’ot. In its relatively short lifetime, it has become one of the world’s leading suppliers and innovators in the vegetarian sector. The kibbutz, home to survivors of the Holocaust and Warsaw Ghetto uprising, is still Tivall’s manufacturing base and continues to improve current products and research and develop new ones.

Simanin. Not a herb or a spice, but something symbolic for your Rosh Hashanah cooking. Many of these 10 foods – carrots, leeks, fish, beets, gourds, pomegranate, dates, heads and black-eyed beans – feature in these recipes
The Yiddish for carrot, ‘mehr’, also means ‘more’, and we hope for many merits and blessings, as we do when we eat the pomegranate seeds. You can use any carrots but if you can find rainbow heritage carrots, these will look fantastic.
This zingy course has refreshing aniseed and citrus flavours, and features three simanim: fish, head and leek. We ask for God’s blessings that we be fruitful and multiply like fish; that we be like the head and not the tail; and that our enemies be cut down. (Leek in Aramaic is ‘karti’, and we make a play on the Hebrew word ‘karat’, meaning ‘cut down’.)
1 leek – thinly sliced

BEING STUCK IN ECONOMIC DOLDRUMS DOESN’T MEAN WE HAVE TO PASS ON PURCHASING NEW CLOTHES, SAYS BRIE BAILEY
We’ve never needed a knit more, so think about sweater dressing. From coats to cardigans, two pieces and twin sets, anything goes if it fashionably keeps out the cold, which Cara and the Sky is so good caraandtheskycomat.

high our heels, the cost of living is biting at them. At a time when a coat of armour, rather than a coat, feels like suitable attire to get through a winter of buckling down the heat hatches, knowing what’s on trend feels trite. But clothes will always be a guilty pleasure and keeping the fashion business in business is part of our civic duty. Chances are you might already own some of autumn/winter 2022’s runway favourites as fashion rotates and style no longer has a sell-by date. In the 2020s, anything goes, which is why you always need another pair of Suzy D joggers. The frippery of fashion makes life fun and we all need some of that right now. So here are some seasonal suggestions worth getting out of bed for.

dresses are all the rage for autumn/ winter, so you will need to get behind the look at a simcha. Making any sort of stylish statement, be it as the hostess or a spectacular guest, is achievable at Debra of Chigwell proprietor whose fashion industry career began in 1976, Debra knows more than most when it comes to providing customers with the dress of their dreams. And, as Debra started out as a showroom model, she knows how to work the look. She also knows that shopping with children in tow can be painful (especially when female o spring need outfits too), so when she opened her store in Chigwell in the early 1980s, she made sure it catered for all ages and sizes. With her eye for buying and designing garments, she also stayed ahead of the game and very quickly gained a reputation that brought TV stars through her doors. Not content with just o ering eveningwear, cocktail dresses and prom gowns, Debra also stocks daywear, and every item of stock is carefully selected, designed or manufactured by her. Customers are looked a er by a team of stylists who are as honest as your closest friend, so you depart with a purchase knowing that it really suits you. The shop is also online, but better still Debra is also the ‘in-house’ milliner, so you won’t leave without Behind You

What better time for new glasses than the New Year? Make Opticians, in Hampstead Garden Suburb, the focus of your attention. Gavzey has more than 1,000 frames and sunglasses from £20 to £600 and is the only place you can get designer brand Moscot in north-west London. Timeless and iconic, the designs come in a wide range of colours and shapes, and Moscot’s bestselling Lemtosh frame is worn by Helena Bonham Carter, Lady Gaga and Cristiano Ronaldo. Prefer something more lightweight? Try a barely-there rimless style from Silhouette or Lindberg.

Dr Irena Eris Neometric Anti-Wrinkle Capsules (£70.00).This works lips and eyes, so it’s a double whammy.

You’ll be delighted by the natural radiance it restores. debenhams.com

I’VE NEVER LIKED SUPERMARKETS, so I definitely didn’t want my own set of barcodes. Just the sound of the cashier’s scanner over my kneidel mix made me bite my lip. My old lips! Crows’ feet I can live with, and a dash of botox fixes my forehead line, but verticals on the upper lip – no thank you. Too young with no grandkids to be a gurning granny, lipstick seeping into visible perioral lines required immediate action. So I called aesthetician Deborah Forsyth, who has been holding back my years since we met.
ANTIOXIDANT ANTIDOTE

A trusted expert in facial rejuvenation, Deb has been smoothing the wrinkles of royalty, A-listers and myself for more than 25 years and bar codes – aka ‘smoker’s mouth’ (yuck) doesn’t faze her. “It’s genetic,” she sighs. “But from the age of 30 to 35, you lose 30 percent of your natural collagen and 10 percent of your natural elastin. By the time you hit 60, you’ll have 10 percent collagen le .” A font of beauty wisdom, she never holds back on cheerless facts, so believe her when she says collagen supplements don’t make collagen. “Buy copper peptides instead. They are the amino acids that strengthen collagen fibres.” She also tells me that barcodes are caused by slackness in the puckering up muscle, shrinking gums, chewing, fluoride in the water (number one cause of low thyroid action ) low fat diets (starve the body of essential oils) and the menopause, which is her speciality.

On with the fix, which required a drizzle of dermal filler being injected into my upper lip to hold it in place. “With age it has lost volume and this will act as a thread to refresh and li it. Like an underwired bra,” she says. “By straightening the vermilion border between the pink of your lip and the skin, lipstick won’t feather.”
Pomegranates are the star fruit of Rosh Hashanah and contain enzymes that brighten and even skin tone. That’s why Bloome ects put them in its Black Tulip Facial Treatment (£90) along with 31 other extracts of which one is Orchid Stem Cells, to plump skin and smooth lines. It’s Dorian Gray in a tub.

With my lips numbed, Deb injected filler into the edges, Cupid’s bow and corners with a fine needle, then massaged it into place. Be assured this is not for plumping, so you won’t turn into a trout, but within minutes the barcodes were swiped and have got fainter every week. A smooth upper up with a more youthful curl is the result and thanks to Deb my lipstick stays on too, as she recommended Fenty Long wear Fluid Lip Colour (£22) by Rihanna.

Better known brands dominate the shelves, so the supreme Epiic hair range( from £26) deserves a shout out. In the age of #BeKind, its organic, vegan ingredients in recycled bottles that are melted down for other salon tool uses is a champion. There’s even a QR code on the bottles to show which ocean it was collected from! Pricey, but a little goes a long way, the products, full of herbs, flowers and aloe vera are light, but give volume and hold with no crunch or sti ness. Seek them out. www.epiichair.co.uk

JUST WRAP IT
Family and friends could give suggestions based on their own experiences which can be unhelpful. Or possibly - subconsciously - they are the problem. Better to talk to someone who is not involved and listens without personal interest.

Why is talking to a professional more helpful than a friend/family member?
How does talking help relieve stress?
When you can’t cope with the issue in question any longer.
How do you know when it’s time to seek help?
When I started as a therapist, 12 years ago, I would never have worked online. Covid changed all that! The platforms available allow me to work as e iciently online as I do face to face, so I can help people anywhere in the country, not just those who are able to get to my o ice in Watford.
A er listening to clients and understanding the issues, I plan a course of therapy I think is suitable. If other issues come to light during subsequent sessions, I change the therapy accordingly.

APPLES ANYONE?
Supplements are a minefield and so many are targeted at menopausal women. Why? Because it’s life-changing and di erent for each woman, but hair loss is common and for the ‘typical’ Jewish women, turns weekly salon appointments into a fixture of dread. Glowa Hair Food (£34.99 for 60 capsules)is a ‘mane’meal that will: balance hormones (Vitamin B6), protect hair follicles and prevent loss/shedding (L-Lysine & B12) replace organic sulphur to enhance growth(MSM) and maintain a healthy scalp(Zinc & Vitamin C). Your hair will never be hungry again.

It has helped to bring clarity to something that has bothered me for a long time, and allowed me feel more calm and positive.”

cent. Patients may seek mesh removal, which is a difficult procedure to perform, and almost impossible after a laparo scopic repair. Data from the Shouldice Clinic has highlighted mesh degradation, nerve growth into the mesh and erosion of anatomical structures as contributing factors.There are, of course, complications of each technique to consider. Compared with no-mesh repair, the list of mesh complications is longer, with many being potentially serious (although rare).
Learning a non-mesh technique takes longer, requiring at least 200 cases and possibly up to 1,000. The surgery takes longer and often a unilateral laparoscop ic hernia repair ends up being bilateral owing to the findings of a second small, asymptomatic hernia.
In other words, you can choose your ‘facts’ to fit your opinion. With that in mind, let’s see if we can unravel some of the myths and legends of hernia repair.
![](https://assets.isu.pub/document-structure/220921100119-06698f87974ea9f6b68571021d9e7108/v1/ea9dc45efb1616a1b61f3f70a1c16466.jpeg)
But, because the current generation of surgeons may only have learnt mesh techniques, the expertise to perform nonmesh anatomical repairs is being lost in the same way that no one alive now can reproduce a Stradivarius violin. Having said that, it should be remembered that most hernia repairs, by whatever technique, are uneventful, and perhaps it comes down to the experience and care of the surgeon after all.
es. Edward Earle Shouldice (1890-1965) developed his technique (a modified Bassini repair) during the 1940s. Using specialist surgeons, and still relying on the anatomical Shouldice repair, they report a recurrence rate of less than one percent. This was the basic technique by which nearly all inguinal hernias were repaired until the mid-1990s.
It claimed to offer lower discomfort and a lower recurrence rate, neither of which have been substantiated. Finally, it was supposed to be easy to teach, cheap and could be performed under local anaesthetic.Withtherise of laparoscopic surgery, the plethora of possible techniques was complete. And here lies the controversy: a mesh or no-mesh hernia repair? How to decide?!Anylaparoscopic (mesh) repair is vulnerable to concerns regarding chronic pain. Depending on the study, the inci dence of persistent pain after a mesh repair varies from 3 percent to 78 per
Myths and Legends of Hernia Repair in the 21st Century

But I begin with some words of caution. While we rely on peer-reviewed articles for information, things may not always be what they seem. Let me introduce you to the Newton-Bendavid First Law of statis tics. Isaac Newton needs no explanation (I hope!). Robert Bendavid was most recently head of Canada’s Shouldice Hernia Clinic. It was my pleasure to know and to share platforms with him.
It is fair to say that there is still some discussion about the best way to repair an inguinal hernia. Different techniques flaunt their apparent superiority, with the popular perception that laparoscopic repair is dominant.
With so much invested in laparoscopic equipment by large medical technology companies, is this all just marketing? Despite this, it is interesting that the proportion of primary hernias repaired laparoscopically in the UK remains around 15 percent, similar to other Euro pean countries (Sweden 12 percent, the Netherlands 16 percent).
With the emergence of general an aesthesia, Edoardo Bassini (1844-1924), an Italian surgeon, described a tech nique that relied on restoring the normal anatomy of the inguinal canal. Between 1883 and 1889, he reported a series of 262 operations with seven recurrences (2.7Thepercent).establishment of the Shouldice Clinic brought hernia repair to the mass
In 1987, Irving Lichtenstein (19202000) published his series of 6,321 patients in whom he used a polypropyl ene mesh and claimed a recurrence rate of 0.7 percent. He labelled his technique ‘tensionless’ and, by the mid-1990s, it had become the most common technique in theMeshUK.
repair was said to be easier to perform as no detailed anatomical knowledge was required. Some surgeons, including myself, had learnt the tradition al Shouldice repair, before trying the Li chtenstein method; subsequently others have only learnt this technique.
LIFE jewishnews.co.uk 87
He died in 2019. The ‘Law’ states: “For every statistic quoted in the surgical liter ature, there will be an equal and opposite statistic reported in the same literature.”
Surgeons announced that “there is a mesh-free alternative for patients with groin hernias, which some surgeons have called for the NHS to teach its staff, so patients can have a choice”. And so, we have come full circle.

Let me tell you my story.
Being 54 years young, I’m in the height of my menopause, and was feeling like I had been run over by a steam train! With the HRT weight gain and mood swings I felt that I had no control over my body. I started to wear my LadyCare magnet at the beginning of this year. Within a few weeks, I noticed a decrease in my hot flushes, smoother sleep patterns and many of my symptoms started to disappear. In my third month, by balancing my Autonomic Nervous System (ANS),

ANASTASIA MOVED TO ISRAEL from Russia with her two children over 10 years ago. Forced to flee an abusive relationship with her two young girls, she found refuge in a WIZO shelter in Hadera. When it was time for her to leave the shelter, the WIZO Safety Net programme provided complete support, counselling, financial services and every possible assistance to begin a new life. The WIZO charity shop ‘bigudit’ was a resource for clothing and secondhand items to furnish her new home. “I was struck by the incredible amount of caring and support I received,” said Anastasia. Wanting to give back, she began volunteering at the shop, and when the manager retired, she o ered the paid position to Anastasia. Today, Anastasia leads a team of over 20 volunteers, designs store displays, signs o on the final selection of clothing, plans vintage bazaars and other special events, and promotes the store in the community.

A er attempting to take his own life, John realised he needed professional help to get better. He says: “Jami gave me hope. Hope for life, hope for the future and hope that I’ll be around for much longer.”John’s first interaction with Jami, the mental health service for the Jewish community, was at an event at its Head Room Café in Golders Green. Here he met people going through similar experiences to him and it convinced him that the charity’s other services could help him too. John’s weekly one-to-one sessions with two Jami support workers, who were there to listen and set goals to help him move forwards, gradually enabled him to go from rock bottom to feeling on top of the world. He says: “With Jami’s support, I began to make positive choices. Now I do a job I love and spend quality time with my wife and family. I’m happy. And that’s thanks to Jami.” jamiuk.org

BECOMING AN OCTOGENARIAN is something to celebrate and as it enters its ninth decade the Association of Jewish Refugees (AJR) has done just that by planting 80 oak trees in locations significant to Jewish refugees. Each tree acts as a platform for telling the story of Britain’s Jewish refugees. The majority of were planted along with a time capsule containing key facts about the Jewish refugee community and sharing the life story of one or more AJR members. 80 Trees for 80 Years project manager Jo Briggs says: “It’s been incredibly special to involve local communities with this initiative.” All tree locations are included in the new UK Holocaust Map, developed by the AJR in partnership with the UK government. This digital resource ukholocaustmap.org.uk helps communities to learn about their local connections to the worst crime ever committed.Thesocial care of the refugees who fled Nazi persecution and the survivors who came to the UK a er the Holocaust is the focus of the AJR.

JOHN’S WORLD WAS TURNED UPSIDE DOWN a few years ago. Having once been the life and soul of the party, he became quiet, withdrawn and increasingly more isolated. “I stopped socialising and then I felt lonely and had a lot of negative thoughts,” he says. “I thought no one cared about me and everyone hated me. It was torturous living through each day.”

Improving life for people with complex nursing needs is at the core of what Loveday does. As London’s only private members’ club catering for seniors at every stage of the ageing journey, it combines individualised care with the very best in world-class hospitality. Would we really expect anything less from founder Laurence Geller CBE, chairman of the Alzheimer’s Society’s National Dementia Appeal? Geller has spent his life working in the world of hospitality, notably at one time owning Four Seasons and Ritz Carlton hotel groups, but watching both of his parents suffer with the effects of dementia spurred him to change direction. Working alongside his son, Guy, who has experience of running care homes, he established Loveday in 2015.TheAbbey Road home is the third one to open after Kensington and Chelsea. Its location in St John’s Wood means that it is in the hub of Jewish north London. All dietary requirements can be catered for and activities will be geared around the various Jewish holidays. At Loveday homes, there are no set visiting times and pets are even allowed in to visit. As a former chef, Laurence’s philosophy is that if you eat better you live longer. Three-course meals worthy of a Michelin star, with wines to match, are served every night, plus there are themed evenings, lots of variety at lunch, and food and drink is available all day. An open kitchen gives the chef and the residents the opportunity to interact.
There is a lounge on each floor so residents don’t need to stay in their rooms or receive visitors in them. The dining area opens on to a beautiful and safe sensory garden with lots of seating, a water feature and potting shed. It’s not all about the comfort and the aesthetics, though. Loveday pioneers many research projects and employs advanced technology to prevent falls, reduce sleep disturbance and improve care. “Loveday provides care without compare,” says Laurence. “It’s about being the best we can be.” lovedayandco.com

There are 13.9 million disabled people in the UK, yet only a staggering seven percent of homes in England are accessible. More than half of those requiring an adaptation do not have the facilities they need. As a result, many people with disabilities are living in unsuitable housing and, not surprisingly, 38 percent of people who have a long-term physical condition also experience severe mental health
“We arrange for a visit and take prospective residents to view care homes that would suit their needs or, if the person isn’t able to visit themselves, we’ll invite their family to visit,” says Liz. “They’ll get a feel for the people and the place and find out more about life in the care home. They’ll meet the home’s manager and staff and gain an understanding of the care they’ll receive, who will be caring for them and the variety of activities available for them, depending on their interests, to promote wellbeing, stimulating both body and mind.”

“ This open communication helps staff get to know a resident and their families and, in turn, can result in caring interactions and the forming of relationships.”
An Independent Living Advisory Service takes the expertise into people’s own homes for those who are not looking to make a move. The service both advises and funds the installation of vital aids and adaptations that can help transform someone’s home into a healthy home that supports their needs.

Israel today is resilient and prosperous; however, many Israelis sadly do not share in its prosperity. Without our intervention, the gaps in Israel’s society, between those that have and those that do not, are only going to widen.

UJIA invests in support for young Israelis living in the social and geographical peripheries, where there are fewer high-quality educational and developmental opportunities, resulting in reduced life-chances. Additionally, through our initiatives, Israelis from minorities and disadvantaged communities are able to find quality employment opportunities, which in turn provides sustainability to their families, local communities and wider Israeli society.

Photographers are rarely smothered in kisses by their subjects but, for Emma Slade, it’s a perk of the job. Her subjects are dogs and the a ectionate ones “prefer to cuddle or kiss me rather than pose”, explains Emma, who once had a sensible job in a bank.
Paws in Action Dog
“I love it. I love meeting new dogs who have their own personalities, as do their owners. It can be sad sometimes as I’ve photographed a few dogs nearing the end of life, but that old adage about working with animals is not true for me, whether they are well-trained or puppies who aren’t. I’m not a patient person at all, but when I’m photographing dogs, I seem to have all the patience in the world.”

There are also owners who get quite stressed and embarrassed if their dog isn’t doing what they want.”
Pet owners have been taking their dogs to Waggingtons’ charming Mill Hill residence for day care since they could... well, walk, or were at least 10 weeks old. The puppy socialisation groups teach them how to interact with peers and elders, be confident and walk correctly on a lead. Fully licensed and insured, owner Tracie has 25 years’ experience and, as a dog behavioural therapist, is hands-on every day. And each day at Waggingtons is meticulously planned.

Oy. It’s happening. No, not the Judge playing Cher’s Believefor the umpteenth time, but Rosh Hashanah. It could be worse. Passover is when the family laughingly tries to provoke me into searching for the afikomen. I do it to amuse and for the lamb shank a er the seder, but there are limits to what I can do with apples and honey.

When you’re the personal property of a legal eagle, remaining immaculate is essential – and honey puts me in a sticky predicament. I know it’s a favourite ingredient of the ‘zen’ bakers, who make those trendy organic dog biscuits but, in its natural form, it’s sticky on the paws.
JN pet owners know this is true, having watched their own dogs bolting to the door to greet Tracie and her team, meet up with pals and snu le through the toy box. Owners also get their dog back clean. The same constant supervision takes place when dogs board, some for longer stays, and are showered with a ection. If their owners don’t book them into Waggingtons, they’ll get on the dog and bone themselves. 8906 4905 07869

“For 16 years it was long hours and extreme stress,” says the pet snapper, who didn’t get a dog until January 2019, when Schlappohr, her cockapoo, was bought on a whim. “He changed my outlook and I realised there was more to life than earning a good wage,” says Emma, who quit her job with no next plan. “I had no idea what I would do, but as I obviously love dogs and enjoyed photography as a hobby, I combined them and became a dog photographer!”

Stella belonged to Brian and Eileen Cohen in Los Angeles but, even with her passing, ties were not broken with the genial Laws. “The first time we sat for Brian and Eileen, they went to Israel for three weeks.

“His ongoing contribution to Colletts as brand ambassador and mentor to professionals across our organisation brings incredible value to Global Travel Collection, Intervova and all our clients.

Yet, so often, today’s journeys are managed by bots and algorithms. We’re told that machines can build the perfect trip for us without ever really getting to know us. Colletts Travel is a company that understands the power of booking with a human instead of a robot. Modern travel sites might say they know everything about you. But bots can’t sit in your front room over a cup of tea and hear about what made your honeymoon special. They can’t take note of everything you didn’t like about travelling to your family reunion five years ago. And they don’t know your youngest is about to start university in the autumn, so you want to mark it with the perfect trip together.

A ernoons by the pool are my thing on holiday and there are a few to choose from. I settled for the one nearest the sea front to capture the breeze. Working out in the gym is my husband’s idea of relaxation and he was in the very best place for that. This is a mindblowing space with the latest TechnoGym equipment (curved running machines!) and a spin studio, a boxing studio plus lots of other areas with equipment that looked scary to me but my husband was cooing over. There are classes and one-to-one training sessions from professional athletes. Have you ever seen a living wall in a gym before?! I was told this li s the mood, and makes us train better. If you prefer the real outdoors, there is a new jungle gym in the grounds.
If you do want to take your kids there is a Mini Club for 0-4s, Teen Spirit for 12-18s and the new La Casita for 5- 12-year-olds. This has been transformed from one of the resort’s spacious upscale villas, giving them their own home for a great programme of experiences plus a games room, indoor cinema and swimming pool. There’s even the option to go horseriding.

There are more than 15 restaurants at Puente Romano, most of which are around La Plaza, a large central open-air lounge/bar area which comes alive as the sun goes down. Very much a place to meet, drink, and people-watch, the music gets louder as the night gets darker, until it’s full-on party vibes. It’s fabulous. Among the restaurants is Lena, chef Dani Garcia’s steak house which has been voted most beautiful restaurant in the world, Serafina for fantastic Italian food and Nobu, which needs no introduction.

In 2018, the Archdiocese of Palermo donated a building to the Jewish community to build a synagogue in Vicolo Meschita, the old Jewish quarter. Archbishop Corrado Lorefice was honoured with the Wallenberg Medal for having enabled the rebirth of the Jewish community of Palermo with this donation, as well as for his promotion of interreligious dialogue.

Very few returned but in 1987 a mikveh was discovered in Syracuse and this sparked renewed interest in the island’s Jewish heritage. Rabbi Stefano Di Mauro, who was born in Sicily but emigrated to the US, discovered as his mother was dying that his family was Jewish. He converted and returned to the island in 2007 to re-establish Jewish life. He is the first orthodox rabbi in the region for more than 500 years.
associations began to organise festivities, research and conferences in the capital, Palermo. The mayor replaced the street signs with ones featuring the names of the streets in Hebrew and Arabic letters as well as Latin, to pay homage to the island’s multicultural past. Since 2013 Palermo has hosted a public menorah lighting in the Palazzo Steri, the former headquarters of the Inquisition, where many Jews were detained, tortured and killed. The walls are still covered by the prisoners’ gra iti — among which are many Jewish names and some Hebrew inscriptions.

have never seen so many restaurants in one town as I did in Taormina. They are on the streets, along the alleys, on the steps and in hidden courtyards. The pasta dishes they serve are caressed with sauces and ingredients we don’t see in other parts of Italy - tagliolini with red mullet ragout, wild fennel, raisins and pine nuts was notable and so too was linguini with pistachio and lemon. But it was the Sicilian-style carbonara that brought me the most joy – diced tuna tartare instead of guanciale means that it’s not forbidden for we Jews.

When in Rome, sorry Taormina, a visit to the opera is a must and we enjoyed a medley of arias.

The same can be said for dinner down at Villa Sant’ Andrea, where there is also the opportunity to have a table set up right by the sea for the ultimate romantic date. The tasting menu takes you through a roster of Sicily’s typical dishes, many of which are fish or vegetarian. The appropriately-named Otto Geleng restaurant is a 16-seater Michelin star o ering, while the Pool Grill restaurant is informal for lunch or you can order dishes to your thick-cushioned deckbed.

Visitors can see and swim with dolphins in Eilat

The Eilat sunshine is ready and waiting this winter. There’s never been a more exciting time to visit and the options are there for one and all to enjoy; there’s truly something for every traveller.
Coral Beach is a famed nature reserve, national park and conservation area and makes access to the reefs easy. On-site facilities – beach service, sun loungers, showers and a shop – make it easy to spend a day there. There are shallow wading pools in which children can paddle and even bridges and lookouts over the reef that provide visitors the opportunity to discover the rich and amazing diversity of the sea, without ever getting their feet wet, if that is their desire.
ilat has well and truly reopened for business. Listed as one of TripAdvisor’s Top 10 World Destinations on the rise in its 2017 Travellers’ Choice Awards, the Red Sea resort city has well and truly risen. That it has luxurious hotels, clubs, restaurants and stunning beaches is known, notably by those who love the place. And anyone who has been diving, snorkelling or surfing there will vouch for it being one of the most beautiful sites in the world for such pursuits
The city itself leaves nothing to be desired. Nightlife and restaurants – which offer the food that has for a long time given Israel a reputation as a culinary world leader –are there to be enjoyed, while tax-free malls, along with Bazaar Eilat, will satisfy the most ardent shopper.
Lior Mucznik, chairman of the Eilat Hotels Association and general manager of Fattal’s Herods Premium Collection brand, was keen to emphasise this upgrade and expansion Eilat is experiencing. With the addition of new brands also comes fabulous refurbishments, as with the beloved Leonardo and the unique U Splash Resort, which underwent a full renovation 18 months ago.
Of course, it’s easy to simply sit on the pristine sand, under the shade of a palm or two, sipping a cocktail, perhaps getting up for a refreshing swim now and then in
Astral, the group with the three-star to five-star market covered, is focusing on a much-awaited, new low-cost hotel and it’s a game-changer. “With low-cost flights to Israel now available, low-cost accommodation is a natural next step,” Asher Gabay, CEO of Astral Hotels tells
me. Being built from scratch in the Lagoon Marina, just five minutes from the beach and set to open in 2024, this new lifestyle hotel will have 456 rooms costing no more than 300 shekels (just over £75) per night, per couple, on a room-only basis. There will be interconnecting rooms for families too. Add-ons, such as pool access or parking, will cost extra but will be reasonable, and there will be a milky restaurant on site.
CARON BLUESTONE DISCOVERS THE EILAT WE’VE BEEN MISSING. REBUILT, REINVIGORATED AND FULL OF WINTER SUNSHINE, IT’S READY TO WELCOME YOU BACK
The open-arm welcome to a once-familiar place where you can take a ride on a glass-bottomed boat, or drive your own, is now much more enticing because Eilat is booming – and with flair. Eli Lankri, the energetic mayor of Eilat, says: “We are currently in a tremendous development process of new luxury hotels alongside low-budget hotels, a new and spectacular promenade, tourist attractions and infrastructure.”

The main hotel chains – Isrotel, Astral, Fattal and Dan – are all well-represented, and many with more than just one option, but one of the most interesting, scheduled to open in 2023, is the Dan’s new glamping complex on the beach.
It is under the water that I find added appeal.
With 10,000 fish, dolphin reef, corals and sponges, it’s a multicoloured adventure in the deep, but those who prefer to stay dry can experience this at the awe-inspiring Oceanarium.
You may also recall the guaranteed sunshine –nine hours a day to be exact, 330 days of the year – but it’s a useful nudge with our utility bills rising, as natural heat has never been more appealing.
The Gulf of Eilat is unique in that it is protected by mountains. The stability in the weather that this brings makes the coral reefs unique and teeming with endemic species. On Almog beach, you’ll also find Coral World, an underwater observatory that extends 100 metres from the shoreline, combined with an awe- inspiring Oceanarium and myriad entertaining activities from turtle and stingray pools to virtual reality cinema experiences.
Winter is also the time for desert hiking in Timna Park. Whereas summer brings sweltering temperatures, it’s in the cooler months that the desert comes into its own. Kibbutzim such as Yotvata, Ketura and Elifaz each offer fascinating insights into their unique situations. At Hai Bar nature reserve, you can view rams, white antelope and ostriches in their natural habitat; in Ketura, the world’s first solar-powered field that is cleaned by robots! For the artists, a trip to Neot Semadar Arts Centre and Winery, with its fascinating workshops, is a must and, for budding ecologists, Kibbutz Lotan has turned the desert into a flourishing green paradise, complete with a children’s playground.

the pleasant waters that lap the beach. I, however, need a bit more activity.
Guy Adiran, CEO of Dan Eilat, explained that its latest opening would be a focus on affordable luxury. A place to attract a younger, vibrant and sociable crowd –families and singles alike. Fans of Broitman Bakery will be able to get their daily fix, with a new tie-up between the brands. So, contrary to popular belief, Israel is becoming more affordable.
There is huge investment in, and development of, the coastline and the city, all to the benefit of us tourists. Meanwhile, Isrotel is enriching the uber-luxury end of the market – its newest addition will feature a floating pool on the roof – and there’s a Hotel W expected in 2024.

JCoSS has not, as some feared, created oversupply of school places or undermined Jewish education or community; rather, it has expanded the market, especially among those who might not otherwise choose a Jewish school. In creating a new ‘brand’ of Jewish schooling, recognised and trusted both for inclusion and for outcomes, we have also sought to widen and warm the embrace of the community.
This year’s apples-and-honey combination, as I mark my final Rosh Hashanah at JCoSS, was already likely to be a poignant mix of sharp and sweet, as I review the harvest of a 33-year teaching career so far, and contemplate something new and uncertain when I leave the school in December. Then, into this heady mixture, came news of the death of Her Majesty the Queen.
Thirdly, the model bids us to identify honestly the emotions brought up by the prospect of leaving. The flip side of love, as we know, is grief; whatever the relief, satisfaction, fear, gratitude, regret and insecurity, there is plenty of straightforward sadness, too, in leaving a place that I love. As with the death of Diana, Princess of Wales, the Queen’s death looks likely to be an affordance for many other griefs and an intensifier of them. It is certainly proving so for me.
interesting in that it is a kosher substance even though the bee that makes it is non-kosher. The rabbis disagree (who knew?!) about how to explain this, but as this gentile and priest contemplates stepping down from JCoSS, it seems an eloquent and rich symbol.
Second, we need to celebrate what has been accomplished, however small. In the case of JCoSS, there is plenty to look back on with satisfaction, especially given the apprehension of some in the community before we opened in 2010. JCoSS has taken its place alongside the other schools, adding much-needed capacity and bringing to the mix a new model that works for many.
I am trying to draw upon it already as I contemplate change on a rather smaller scale. A planned departure from 13 years leading a school barely registers alongside what the Queen’s death means to the nation and the world. But a change of monarch and prime minister in the same week is certainly an intense backdrop as I enter this final term, and the conflicting feelings are familiar.
Jewish communal discussions are sometimes beset by self-recrimination and anguish that things are not as they should be, or not as they were – and it has always been a source of comfort to me to see others wrestling just as desperately as the Church of England with the place of religion and identity in the modern age
As well as resonating better with the harvest of the natural world it is, of course, ideal in Judaism – where it chimes with the religious rhythms of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. It’s almost enough to make one think that Hashem planned the school year to start at this time (admittedly, four broken teaching weeks in the first half of term is possible counter-evidence...).
Even before the death of Her Majesty, this nation was facing change on a huge scale. Losing its archetypal bedrock makes that more challenging, in ways we may not even realise yet. The contribution of Judaism to the nation’s spiritual life is incalculable, and a precious gift that I will forever cherish.
L’shana tova tikateivu v’teichateimu!
’s imminent departure from JCoSS means these will be his last High Holy Days as the school’s headteacher. The reality of this, the changes we face, and the prospect of a new year provide the threads of his poetic epilogue for Life Magazine
Others can decide whether JCoSS has made more Jews or made better Jews. What I can say is that – through countless conversations with colleagues, community leaders, students and parents – leading it has made me a better Christian and a better priest.

THE LAST WORD
I am already struck by having to inhabit, simultaneously, several different emotional biospheres: the ongoing stimulation and challenge of running a school; the need to plan practically for handover and departure; the excitement and apprehension of future projects; and the sheer uncertainty of what lies ahead – as much ‘who will I be?’ as ‘what will I do?’
The time since has been a complex swirl of emotions. At the proclamation of the new King less than two days later, flags were raised from half-mast to full-mast and then back again to half-mast. It was an apt visualisation of the national mood, trying to hold alongside each other grief and sorrow on the one hand as we look back, and excitement and joy on the other as we look forward.
T hose who work in schools, whether as staff or as students, are lucky that our annual opportunity for new starts and resolutions comes as the school year begins in September. It’s so much better than January: rather than trying to reinvent ourselves in the cold darkness of winter we get to do it in the warmth of late summer – after a six-week break.
Alongside these is a process of anticipatory grief as I prepare to take my leave from what has been a source of joy, friendship, pride and identity for me over 13 years. An excellent session run by the Pears Foundation introduced a helpful four-stage model (‘Endings for Beginnings’, proposed by Lizzie Bentley Bowers and Alison Lucas), which is proving a very helpful tool for navigating the journey.
To begin the new well, they suggest, we need to end the old well. That means, first, that we name the ending, which in my case was something helped by the need to give a full year’s notice, and an announcement schedule and script planned months ahead.
The honey that so characterises Rosh Hashanah is
For all the theological and communal complexity in that aim, the application statistics say there is kosher honey in it. To have witnessed and helped to lead the journey from 143 students when we opened to nearly 1,400 today is a source of huge pride, and to be welcomed in doing so from beyond the community has been an experience of real sweetness.
But as these High Holy Days begin, with all their opportunities for reflection, renewal and repentance, and all the grief they stir up, I stand in unfailing admiration of what the Jewish community is and does, both in its learning and in its life, both in how it changes and in how it remains the same.

Last, there is a need to devise some sort of ritual (whether with small or big ‘r’) to mark the end, and we are working creatively on that one. The ‘Endings for Beginnings’ model is a secular approach but, for anyone used to the religious dynamics of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, or their counterparts in other traditions, its spiritual resonances are not hard to find in this landscape of reflection, preparation, celebration and change.
“The Queen is dead; long live the King” encapsulates this jarring combination, but mourning loss while affirming the continuity of life is precisely what is embodied in the Jewish response to those bereaved: ‘I wish you long life’. To the uninitiated (reader, that was me just a few years ago…) it may sound bracing, even callous, but it expresses a deep wisdom upon which the nation needs to draw in the weeks and months ahead.
