The Unlikely Warrior:
Jewish Attitudes to Armed Conflict and Those that Go to War from Torah Times to the Current Day
Rabbi Reuben Livingstone CF LLM
Ambivalence and even antagonism to war and armed conflict appear to be the norm in many rabbinic sources from the Talmud to later authorities. Yet the Torah and Tanach are full of wars – as is Jewish historical experience. We will discuss the explanation of this paradox and seek to peel back the layers and identify the authentic Jewish view in this area.

Scotland’s Jewish Coffee get-together: “Being Scottish and Jewish
outwith the Central Belt!”
We asked participants at the first Scotland’s Jewish Coffee Morning in June what themes you wanted for future such events and when you wanted to hold them. This event will focus on the experience of being Jewish outwith the Central belt, and topics for future events will include Jews and Racism, Jews and the Climate Emergency, Jewish crafts, and Israelis in Scotland.
Presented by SCoJeC in partnership with Jewish communities around Scotland
