I feel that the most relevant place for every thinking and feeling woman and man to be is in the events of the Jewish Literary Foundation.

In her new book, Blindness: October 7 and the Left, author and columnist Hadley Freeman explores the willingness of many progressives to abandon values they purport to represent.
With bitter clarity she outlines the equivocations, contortions and hypocrisy displayed by elements of the left, including many who were unable to acknowledge or condemn the atrocities of Hamas. And she examines the beliefs that have swept across liberal sectors such as universities and the arts with a fervour that blinds adherents to the immense complexities of history and justice.
On Thursday 2nd May, 7pm (GMT) Hadley will discuss her new title with Tanya Gold. Blindness is published by Jewish Quarterly, which produces four long essays a year exploring Jewish culture and history.
