To mark the launch of Dr Keith Kahn-Harris's new book Everyday Jews, come and join the author and friends for an evening of silliness with a serious message.
At a heavy and significant time for the Jewish people, Dr Kahn-Harris and guests will remind us that Jewish life can also be trivial and parochial. There will be interesting talks on boring Jewish things, there will be affectionate celebrations of Jewish communal incompetence, there will be Palwin cocktails, and an Adon Olam karaoke session.
Guests will also receive a copy of Everyday Jews, included in the ticket price!
Dr Keith Kahn-Harris is a sociologist and writer. He is a Senior Research Fellow at the Institute for Jewish Policy Research and a Senior Lecturer at Leo Baeck College. Everyday Jews is Keith's ninth book. In it, he argues that, at a time of intense Jewish seriousness, Jews also need to acknowledge our everyday side - and to have fun in the process. This event will be a 'proof of concept', a celebration of the little details that make Jewish life what it is.
