- Rountable discussion with 'Think Jewish'
In my role as a Government advisor on faith issues and the Labour Party’s Vice-Chair for faith groups, I recently held a roundtable discussion with Think Jewish London, a cross-communal think tank.

The group which was set up by London Jewish Forum last year is made up of academics, policy thinkers, community, interfaith and human rights activists including leading Reform, Orthodox and Haredi thinkers. We were joined by special advisors who have a responsibility for faith issues, along with members from the Jewish Labour Movement and...
