What’s Next for Ukraine?
In Association with the Jewish Chronicle
Anna Reid, Malcolm Rifkind | Chair: Jake Wallis Simons
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 has changed the world.
From precipitating a refugee crisis throughout Europe as eight
million Ukrainians fled their homes, to increased nuclear fears, the
threat of famine in Africa and social and economic unrest in Britain,
the impact has been seismic and global. What lies ahead? Editor of
The Jewish Chronicle Jake Wallis Simons is joined by Ukraine expert,
author and The Economist’s former Kyiv correspondent Anna Reid,
and former Foreign Secretary and Secretary of State for Defence
Malcolm Rifkind. More panellists to be announced.

Leonard Cohen in the Sinai
In partnership with the National Library of Israel
Matti Friedman
October 1973: Leonard Cohen is at a creative dead end. Rather than
resort to a more routine rock star response, he swapped his Greek
island lifestyle for the frontlines of the Yom Kippur War, armed only
with his guitar and some local musicians.
As we approach the 50th anniversary of this unique concert
tour, Matti Friedman tells this little-known story in Who By Fire,
alongside never-before-seen extracts from Cohen’s own unfinished
manuscripts. The award-winning author of Pumpkinflowers and The
Aleppo Codex returns to Jewish Book Week after his 2020 event,
Spies of No Country.

György Pauk: 80 Years with the Violin
György Pauk
Internationally acclaimed violinist György Pauk is regarded as the
foremost living torch-bearer of the Hungarian Violin School, which
traces its origins to the 19th century violinist Joseph Joachim, a close
friend and collaborator of Mendelssohn, the Schumanns and Brahms.
With musical accompaniment, the longstanding Professor of Violin
at the Royal Academy of Music, discusses his memoir A Life in
Music, with absorbing stories of many of the other instrumentalists,
conductors, orchestras and composers he has known and worked
with over his six-decade career.
