Disraeli Day at Hughenden Manor

Join Rabbi Mark for a day out in the Berkshire countryside at Hughenden Manor, the home of the first (and so far only) British Prime Minister of Jewish origin, Benjamin Disraeli.

Following refreshments and a talk by the curator of the Manor, we will visit the house and gardens. We will explore Disraeli’s Jewish roots and his childhood baptism, anti-Semitic public reception, as well as how he created a Jewish visual identity towards the end of his life.

We will then travel to Maidenhead Synagogue for a talk by Rabbi Jonathan Romain on his work to revive Judaism in Berkshire over the past forty years and the Jewish connection to the area over the centuries.

Cost £45 (£35 National Trust members on presentation of their membership card at Hughendon Manor), includes all transport from and back to EHRS, admissions & refreshments but does not include the cost of lunch (approx. £10-15 at the Stables Café or feel welcome to bring a packed lunch).

Please book your place below by Thursday 4 July. Numbers are limited to 30 people.
