Join us for an evening with Keith Kahn-Harris a sociologist and writer, based in London. He is a senior lecturer at Leo Baeck College and a senior research fellow at the Institute for Jewish Policy Research. Keith will talk about his latest book and be willing to answer questions and sign books. Can Jews be allowed to become boring? With Israel and antisemitism constantly in thenews, it seems as though the Jewish people a fraction of a percentage of the worlds population- have become synonymous with controversy, drama and anxiety. But what if there was another side to this persistently interesting people; one that non-Jews often dont know about and Jews rarely talk about? This is the stuff of everyday Jewishness; the capacity to be ordinary, mundane and sometimes just plain dull. Keith Kahn-Harris lifts the lid on this surprising world in a book for Jews and non-Jews alike. Arguing that his peoples extraordinary public visibility today is harming their ability to live everyday Jewish lives, he celebrates themundanity and mediocrity of a people before it vanishes completely.
