3. Set up a small group of members to help us develop a safe way of having face to face discussions about the more difficult / sensitive aspects of interfaith dialogue

Jewish Life in Sheffield 1849-1976 – Exhibition at Sheffield Central Library until 9th August
Are you searching for information about your family background, or interested in the history of this minority community, or looking for something to do in central Sheffield? The British Jewish community’s presence might be more obvious in larger urban places like London and Manchester but smaller cities also have rich histories of Jewish migration and influence. These histories are often uncovered in archive collections and can help to remind a city’s residents and current community that those stories exist and of their legacy through to today. |
Our latest display: Records of Jewish Life in Sheffield 1849 – 1976 showcases the “Sheffield Jewish Archives”. It features photos, correspondence, minute books, pamphlets and even a set of mausoleum keys! It runs from now until 10th August on the first floor of Sheffield Central Library. You can find out more about the display here. With thanks to funding from the Jane Goodman Charitable Trust. |
WRONG DATE – Please note the Sheffield Interfaith Food and Friendship bring and share dinner is on THURSDAY 11th JULY and not as advertised earlier this week.
This was the date agreed at our AGM and circulated to members ; it is not being changed to avoid a clash with England’s Euro football semi-final on Wednesday, but for those who wish to watch the football, Thursday will be more convenient for the dinner.
