description: Jewish Women’s Week 5 – 12 May 2013 (look out for your donation letter!)
Last year's Jewish Women’s Week Campaign exceeded expectations and raised over £230k in donations for WIZO.
Jewish Women’s Week has been an annual event in the community’s calendar since 1947, 65 years of door-to-door collections but this method is becoming increasingly more difficult so you will be receiving donation letters instead.
This year the Jewish Women’s Week campaign spotlights four key aspects of WIZO’s work in Israel: protecting children at risk | alleviating child poverty | sheltering victims of domestic violence | providing vocational training for vulnerable teenagers.
Please help this vulnerable children and donate TODAY!

HAVE YOU ALWAYS WANTED TO GLIMPSE INTO THE WORLD OF THE TALMUD?
Our newest JLI course, Curious Tales of Talmud: Finding Personal Meaning in the Legends of our Sages, will introduce you to a legendary world of insight that has fascinated scholars and mystics for millennia.
The Talmud's zany legends tell of gargantuan sea creatures, vinegar-fueled lamps, idolatrous kings, rivers flowing upstream, and a debate of riddles between Jewish and Athenian sages. These intriguing legends are not usually accessible to the general public, nor are the profound pearls of wisdom that are encrypted within them.
Join us for the six week course, running Tuesday evenings.
£60 (textbook included).
Couples and student discounts!
Scholarships and partial scholarships available.
Join the first class free (with no obligation to continue).

This will be a powerful and probably emotional evening – Wagner performed by a German-based Israeli soprano, accompanied at the piano by a British-based, Jewish Wagner specialist. Lots of conflicting issues and problems to be confronted in this and other related events in the Leeds Wagner conference.
