Sounds Jewish: April 2008

Welcome to the April edition of Sounds Jewish.

Joining Jason Solomons in the studio are the winner of the Chaim Bermant journalism prize, the Times' columnist and comment editor Daniel Finkelstein, and Jay Rayner, the Observer's restaurant critic, feature writer and author of several books, including the new The Man Who Ate the World: In Search of the Perfect Dinner.

This month, the panel discuss the admissions policy of JFS (Jewish Free School), London's largest Jewish secondary school, which has come under fire. We look at how the court ruling might affect the way we view ourselves as Jews.

Plus, is it ever acceptable to shout out 'Yid Army' at a football match? We hear from a committed Jewish Spurs fan who feels quite affectionate about the tag. It's all quite harmless – or is it?

And as the Passover season approaches, we investigate the many and various things you can do with a dry piece of matzah. For those of you seeking a slightly more alternative event involving leaning, we're heading to Wilton's Music Hall in East London for the JCC's "The Other Seder" event: part cabaret, part dance, and part gig - more information at jcclondon.org.uk.

All this, and we'll also hear about the Jewish love of the deep fat fryer.

Sounds Jewish is produced by the Jewish Community Centre for London
