Sounds Jewish podcast: February 2012

Joining Jason Solomons in the studio are award-winning photographer Judah Passow and writer Keith Kahn-Harris.

To engage or to exclude: we'll discuss the growing row dividing Britain's Jews over how best to relate to British Muslims and ask whether an institution that has hosted speakers with antisemitic views should always be shunned.

The face – or faces – of Anglo-Jewry through the lens of the celebrated war photographer turned communal chronicler, Judah Passow, in his new exhibition No Place like Home at the Jewish Museum in London. From a Jewish cadet at Sandhurst on the eve of his deployment to Afghanistan to a Holocaust survivor in a care home, from the ultra-Orthodox Jews of Gateshead to a lesbian and gay congregation in London, from a tattooed footballer to a kosher butcher, Judah's pictures offer a portrait of a varied, complex Jewish community drawn from every corner of the British Isles. He tells Jason why this historic exhibition is like capturing a national snapshot of a family at a particular moment in its history.

Singer and poet Alicia Jo Rabins is a classically trained violinist who grew up sneaking out to punk gigs as a teenager. Since then, she's turned to an unusual source for inspiration – the female characters of the Old Testament – with her band Girls in Trouble.

Later this month, Sounds Jewish will be coming direct from Jewish Book Week.

• Sounds Jewish is produced in association with the Jewish Community Centre for London
