British rabbis on the 'fairly convincing' portrayal of Jewish life in Nobody Wants This. Benjamin Stanley.
Religious leaders broadly welcome the depiction of modern Jewish life in the show, Nobody Wants This, that has led the world to fall in with Adam Brody's 'hot rabbi'.
Rabbi Benjamin Stanley said portrayals of rabbis in popular culture often involve 'blokes with beards' and that Brody's character was much more relatable.

Maxwell Smart: At 10, I fled the Nazis to live starving and alone in the woods. For two years, detection meant death
Maxwell Smart lost his family in the Holocaust, but was saved by his mother’s instruction to run. It was seven decades before he told anyone what had happened.
Maxwell Smart still feels at his safest when it rains. The 93-year-old first learned this as a boy of 10, alone in a forest, lying on a bed of leaves in a makeshift bunker, waiting out the Nazi occupation of Poland. For two years he hid in the forest, evading hunters. Detection meant likely death.
Smart is a Holocaust survivor. He was just nine when the Nazis took away his parents and younger sister, leaving him completely alone. He lost more than 60 members of his family in that time. But he did not talk to a single person about it for 70 years.
Maxwell Smart, 93, who was a boy in what is now western Ukraine during the second world war. His entire family were massacred, and he survived the war hiding in woods.

'I will never join the army': ultra-Orthodox Jews vow to defy Israeli court orders
As their military exemption ends, tensions divide the country and threaten to topple Netanyahu's government.
The special legal status of the ultra-Orthodox, the Haredim, that has endured as long as the state of Israel, came to an abrupt end on Monday following a supreme court decision that the group would no longer benefit from government subsidies and exemption from military service, as is mandatory for most other Jewish Israelis.

'A big shock': the Israeli startup helping ultra-Orthodox Jews enter world of hi-tech work
Entrepreneurs want Haredi men, many of whom live in poverty, to have access to the opportunities of Tel Aviv.
Entering Bnei Brak, an ultra-Orthodox neighbourhood just a few kilometres away from the gleaming towers that testify to Tel Aviv's prowess as a global hi-tech hub, feels like stepping into a different world.
Despite the startups and advanced technology initiatives on their doorstep, much of Israel's ultra-Orthodox, or Haredi, population still shuns modern inventions such as television and smartphones, which are viewed as a threat to their way of life.
A small group of entrepreneurs have launched the Mego programme, a 14-month-long vocational training programme preparing ultra-Orthodox men with little knowledge of the modern world for careers in the lucrative hi-tech sector.
"People think we're nuts to do this, but I believe that a spiritual way of life and economic success are not incompatible," said Yitzik Crombie, Mego's founder, an entrepreneur who also launched BizMax, a Haredi startup accelerator in Jerusalem, in 2017.
"There are about 300,000 people working in the hi-tech industry, but only 3% are Haredim. We are building programmes and tools to show the community what is possible."
Haredi students are seen at Mego, a center to qualify Ultra Orthodox Jews or Haredis to insert them in the High Tech business in the Haredi city of Bnei Brak in the suburbs of Tel Aviv. Photo by Quique Kierszenbaum

"People think we're nuts to do this, but I believe that a spiritual way of life and economic success are not incompatible," said Yitzik Crombie, Mego's founder, an entrepreneur who also launched BizMax, a Haredi startup accelerator in Jerusalem, in 2017.
"There are about 300,000 people working in the hi-tech industry, but only 3% are Haredim. We are building programmes and tools to show the community what is possible."

'A big shock': the Israeli startup helping ultra-Orthodox Jews enter world of hi-tech work
Entrepreneurs want Haredi men, many of whom live in poverty, to have access to the opportunities of Tel Aviv.
Entering Bnei Brak, an ultra-Orthodox neighbourhood just a few kilometres away from the gleaming towers that testify to Tel Aviv's prowess as a global hi-tech hub, feels like stepping into a different world.
Despite the startups and advanced technology initiatives on their doorstep, much of Israel's ultra-Orthodox, or Haredi, population still shuns modern inventions such as television and smartphones, which are viewed as a threat to their way of life.
A small group of entrepreneurs have launched the Mego programme, a 14-month-long vocational training programme preparing ultra-Orthodox men with little knowledge of the modern world for careers in the lucrative hi-tech sector.
"People think we're nuts to do this, but I believe that a spiritual way of life and economic success are not incompatible," said Yitzik Crombie, Mego's founder, an entrepreneur who also launched BizMax, a Haredi startup accelerator in Jerusalem, in 2017.

Holocaust Memorial Day domination at Piccadilly Lights, Piccadilly Circus, London, UK.
27th January 2023.1
Antoinette Mutabazi, survivor of the genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda
The Piccadilly Lights, operated by Ocean Outdoor, leads a national moment to mark Holocaust Memorial Day 2023.
In an 11-minute domination, the Piccadilly Lights display black and white portraits of four genocide survivors taken by the British photographer and director Rankin.
The subjects included John Hajdu MBE, a Holocaust survivor; Sokphal Din BEM, survivor of the genocide in Cambodia; Antoinette Mutabazi, who survived the genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda; and the Amouna Adam, survivor of the genocide in Darfur.
These are followed by 30 original drawings, by artists aged from as young as 10, of individuals affected by the Holocaust, genocide or identity-based persecution. They included portraits of Iranian teenager Nika Shakarami, civil rights pioneer Claudette Colvin, resistance member Gad Beck, the chemist Primo Levi, scientist Alan Turing and the late Fay Healey who came to England on the Kindertransport and became a much-loved school lollipop lady in Litherland, Merseyside. Her portrait is drawn by Cerys, aged 10.
The space is donated by Landsec, which owns the Piccadilly Lights. Holocaust and genocide survivors and their families will watch the Piccadilly Lights commemoration, lighting candles at 4pm.
