We are pleased to announce that our guest speaker for the 8th Philip Rueff Memorial Lecture will be Sir Lawrence Freedman. Sir Lawrence Freedman is the Emeritus Professor of War Studies at King’s College, London. He was a member of the Chilcot Enquiry committee, and has written extensively on nuclear strategy and the cold war, as well as commentating regularly on contemporary security issues. His latest book, The Future of War: A History, has received rave reviews in The Times and The Guardian.

“Once upon a time the distinction between war and peace was clear-cut,” writes Sir Lawrence in Foreign Policy, “it has been a long time since we enjoyed such clarity.” As the distinction between war and peace has become increasingly blurred in contemporary conflicts, much scholarly and journalistic attention has been on the definition of modern warfare. “What is long overdue,” poses Sir Lawrence, “is reflection on the challenge posed to our definition of peace.”

What would such a new definition of peace look like, and what would it mean for the future, not only for Israel-Palestine (with which our charity is concerned) but for the world?

Join us on December 13th to find out!

To an audience of some 70 people, Mira Oren spoke about her father, Erich Lichtblau-Leskly, his cartoons and what happened to them while he was in the Terezin concentration camp, and afterwards.

This was an outstanding and very moving presentation. Mira showed many of her father's drawings and cartoons. With the greatest subtlety, black humour and irony, they expose the grim reality and banality of every day life in the camp.  

The collection is held in the Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust.

Please join us.  Further details to follow.

On the 3rd December 2015,to an audience of some 200 people at the delightful Rudolf Steiner Theatre, the distinguished historian & TV presenter, Simon Schama CBE, gave the sixth Philip Rueff Memorial Lecture. Having visited Neve Shalom / Wahat al-Salam (NSWaS) in 2014, the theme of his talk was Dreams & Realities of Co-existence. We are thrilled and honoured that Simon Schama is supporting the important educational work of NSWaS.
