Jewish Museum Evening Talks: Philip Alexander

Jewish and Biblical studies. The Manchester Jewish Museum invites you to a relaxed armchair chat with Professor Philip Alexander and our PhD graduate Dr Sherry Ashworth on Thursday 27th March, 6-7:30pm. During this talk Philip will reflect on the challenges he faced in understanding Judaism, his efforts to establish Jewish Studies as a serious academic field in British universities, as well as some of the interesting people he met along the way. He will also explore how the Jewish community in Britain, and particularly Manchester, has changed over the years from his standpoint as an engaged and sympathetic outsider.
