The Wiener Holocaust Library is hosting the follow up event 'The Second Life of Lidice' in London on 9th October 2025. Please join us for the next part of the journey. This is a hybrid event, so can be accessed in person or via Zoom. Sign up for free here:

For those of you who are in the Pontypridd area, Vern's Film Club will be showing the classic 'Crossing Delancey' - the brilliant Joan Micklin Silver comedy which centres around a young Jewish woman in 80s Manhattan looking for love in all the wrong places until her Bubbie calls in the help of the local Matchmaker.

Come along and join Vern at Y Muni in Pontypridd as he gives this film a rare outing on the big screen tomorrow (Tuesday 23rd September). Afterwards, there will be a discussion about it in the bar.

Become a Friend of the Welsh Jewish Cultural Centre

Thank you to everyone who has already signed up to become a Friend. We cannot undertake a project like this without your support.

This is an exciting time as we work to preserve the historic Merthyr Tydfil synagogue and transform it into the Welsh Jewish Cultural Centre. Our Friends group will ensure that the WJCC has a strong foundation of supporters that will help to propel the project to the next level.

We are not requesting immediate donations, but a pledge to donate £50 a year for the first three years after the Centre’s launch in 2028. Once open, Friends will receive regular announcements on activities, invites to special events and a quarterly newsletter.

Please join our growing family of Friends by making your pledge through the link below. We would be grateful if you could also share this with your contacts.
