Der wachsende Antisemitismus geht mit Homophobie einher\, in Berlin und anderswo. Die jüdische Religion hat ein spannungsvolles Verhältnis zur Homosexualität. Andererseits entstehen neue Formen von Solidarität untereinander und Teilhabe mit anderen. Wir fragen nach Erfahrungen und Perspektiven. \n  \nMehr Informationen finden Sie ➚hier.

SUMMARY:Eva Reichmann: Witness\, Historian\, Legacy
DESCRIPTION:  \nWith this lecture series\, we celebrate the legacy of Dr. Eva Reichmann —The Leo Baeck Institutes in London\, Jerusalem\, and New York are launching a new annual lecture series in honour of this important historian and sociologist. \n  \nWho was Eva Reichmann?\nEva Reichmann (1897–1998) was a pioneering scholar of antisemitism and a central figure in the post-war reconstruction of Jewish life and memory. Reichmann combined academic rigour with a deep moral commitment to documenting the experiences of victims of Nazi persecution. \nAs Director of Research at the Wiener Library in London\, she initiated one of the earliest systematic efforts to collect eyewitness accounts of Nazi persecution – a project that laid the groundwork for later testimony collections around the world. The lecture series bearing her name seeks to commemorate this legacy and to reflect on the broader contributions of scholars and scientists persecuted under National Socialism. \n\nPortraitfoto von Eva Reichmann.

SUMMARY:A Politics of Inaction: Daoism in German-Jewish Thought
DESCRIPTION:Learn about how German-Jewish thinkers like Mendelssohn\, Rosenzweig\, and Benjamin engaged with Daoism to challenge power\, productivity\, and reimagine religion. \n  \nThursday\, November 27th\, 2025 – 18:30 Berlin time (17:30 London time)\nSenate House\nMalet Street\nLondon WC1E 7HU \n  \nLectures are also live streamed on Zoom. Places at Senate House are strictly limited and must be reserved by contacting the Leo Baeck Institute London at info@leobaeck.co.uk \n\nAdmission is free. Lectures will begin promptly at 5.30pm. Latecomers may not be admitted. \nZoom links will be advertised closer to the dates of individual events in our lecture announcements via email\, social media and on our website. To participate online and to register your booking please follow the instructions provided in those communications. \n\n\n  \n\n\n\nIn the early twentieth century\, German-Jewish thinkers converged upon Daoism as a means to criticise state power and the dominance of economic productivity in modern society. Figures like Moses Mendelssohn\, Franz Rosenzweig\, and Walter Benjamin explored how Daoist ideas could inspire alternative ways of organising social and economic life\, thereby challenging stereotypes of ‘China’ as passive or non-productive. This talk examines how their engagement with Daoism offered a vision of religion’s role in everyday life that moved beyond racialised notions of activity and inactivity\, and the mercantilist-salvational paradigm then dominant in Western societies. \nJulia Ng is Reader in Critical Theory and founding Director of the Centre for Philosophy and Critical Thought at Goldsmiths\, University of London. A specialist in the work of Walter Benjamin\, whose essay ‘Toward the Critique of Violence’ she recently translated for a critical edition she co-edited for Stanford University Press (2021)\, she is currently completing a book on Daoism and Capitalism with support from a British Academy Mid-Career Fellowship. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDoes belonging always require exclusion? This lecture series explores this universal question through the lens of the German-Jewish experience\, a community deeply shaped by its complex relationship to inclusion and exclusion. Spanning key moments in modern history\, these talks examine German-Jewish thinkers’ responses to the dominant ‘Protestant ethic’\, debates over nationalism in interwar Germany and Austria\, the warped ideology of Adolf Hitler\, and the long struggle of German Jews to reclaim citizenship after the Holocaust. Join us as we situate these experiences within today’s urgent debates about identity and belonging. \n  \nOrganised by the Leo Baeck Institute London in cooperation with the German Historical Institute London. \n  \nOverview of the 2025 Lecture Series
