South East England Faith Forum’s Fifth Online Interfaith Lecture: Judaism: An Evolving Tradition by Rabbi Rene Pfertzel will be on Thursday 11th September at 7pm

Judaism as we know it today is the result of a long evolution, with some key moments that changed the course of Jewish history. In this talk, Rabbi Rene will explore some of the underlying trends of Jewish history.

Rabbi Rene Pfertzel was born in France. He has a Phd in Biblical Studies. After a career in education in France, he decided to become a Rabbi. He was ordained in London in 2014, and since then has held different pulpits in the UK. He became the Rabbi of Maidenhead in September 2024.

With the closure of The Interfaith Network there is a strong need to strengthen dialogue and mutual understanding between Faiths.

As a modest contribution to this end, SEEFF has started a bi-monthly online lecture series.  At 7pm UK time, on the second Thursday of every “odd” month (Jan, March, May etc) we will host a speaker on an aspect of religion, with the aim of covering a wide variety of subjects over time.  The lectures are designed to take between 45 and 75 minutes, including questions.  

The series is entitled The Elizabeth Jenkerson Memorial Interfaith Lecture, in honour of a recently deceased friend who served with distinction on the SEEFF Board for years, on three SACREs – Hants, Portsmouth and Southampton, and helped organise events for the National Association of Teachers of RE.

SEEFF Interfaith Lecture January 2025 – South East England Faiths Forum’s inaugural lecture in the Elizabeth Jenkerson Memorial series took place online on 9th January. The lecture by Seeta Lakhani of Hindu Academy raised high interest among audience. Dr Lakhani spoke on  “Soul, God and Religion from a Hindu Perspective”
