10.30am - 12.30pm
Opening: Jews, England and the Future Where are we up to? What are we up to? What issues do we face? With Trudy Gold, Keith Kahn-Harris and Jon Boyd (JPR).
1.30pm - 3.00pm
British Culture and the Jews: Keeping ourselves to ourselves? How far are Jews culturally integrated into British life? What contributions have we made; have we had to bury our Jewishness to make them? Is there a Jewish voice in British culture? With Clive Lawton.

Should we be Afraid? Anti-Semitism; the rise of the right and the left. The phenomena of right-wing and left-wing anti-semitism are well documented, but are they a small irritation, a major challenge, a message from history or a signpost to the future? With Clive Lawton and Mike Whine (CST).
