Ed Horwich continues his visit to Newcastle spending Shabbat with the orthodox community, Newcastle United Hebrew Congregation. Newcastle was once at the heart of a busy Jewish community that extended through the North East. Now there is just one orthodox shul in the whole of the North East.

Struggling to express your wishes and fears sometimes gets worse as you get older.

Chava Erlanger tells Ed Horwich how she works with holocaust survivors and refugees to help them find expression through art.

850,000 Jews were expelled almost overnight from the Arab lands of the Middle East and North Africa after living there for 3000 years.

It is something that has seemingly been overlooked in Jewish history until Lyn Julius and her organisation 'Harif' highlighted it.

I met with Lyn Julius to find out the reasons why it occurred, why it has almost been ignored until now, and whether it can now play a role in advancing a peace solution in the Middle East.

Ed Horwich travelled to Newcastle upon Tyne to meet Linda and Brenda and find out about the Newcastle Reform community. They chatted over preparations for a communal Friday night Shabbat meal.

When I chose a film for our Jewish Film Club little did I realise one day I would be talking with its director, a Talmud scholar. Sal Litvak tells me about the making of his hilarious comedy which focuses on a dysfunctional family Passover Seder. Sal co-wrote the film with his wife Nina, and it features a stellar cast of leading actors.

Sal and Nina have gone on to create "The Accidental Talmudist" a Facebook channel that reaches over a million people to bring them Jewish learning.

What do you when you shul building is falling apart and you need a safe place to daven in? Martin Morris tells us what they did next and what its like in the Potteries community of Stoke on Trent Synagogue now.
