Dear Listings Editor ,

I enclose information about our forthcoming events which are taking place at
THE JEWISH MUSEUM, CAMDEN TOWN.

I would be grateful if you could include them in your listings.

The Jewish Museum
Permanent displays illustrating Jewish history and religious life in Britain
and beyond. Its collections of Jewish ceremonial art are among the finest in
the world and have been awarded Designated status by the Museums and
Galleries Commission in recognition of their national importance.

Temporary Exhibition:

The story of JFS highlights the importance of education in Jewish tradition,
and its role as a significant institution in the development of English
education. Today, when issues such as the schooling of immigrant children
and the nature of faith-based schools provoke lively debate, the history of
JFS illustrates how one school has dealt with these issues for almost 300
years.

Sunday 11 January, 3 pm
Evacuation! The Wartime Exodus from East London Schools
Dr Daphne Glick will talk about the experience of her late father. A.
