Jewish Culture Month, 2026
Join us on Sunday 7th June, btw 2pm - 4.30pm in London NW3, for a relaxed family-friendly afternoon of Jewish storytelling exploring birth, matrescence, and reproductive life cycles. Part of Jewish Culture Month, this event features diverse voices through discussion, poetry, and song, celebrating cultural and spiritual rites of passage in British Jewish life.

Rabbinical perspectives from Rabbi Miriam Berger, introducing Wellspring - a space to mark transition or change - joyful or mournful - and find solace, self-care and some peace.
Live participatory drawing with Talmudic Drawing Studio
Song and ritual-making with Kohenet Rachel Rose Reid of Yelala
Creative journaling with Maternal Journal
Be Fruitful - the new book on Jewish birth by Dr B.J. Woodstein
Hope and Healing through Song with Judith Silver
