THIS WEEK
A Double Life in Law
Norman Oster
A successful barrister, Norman Oster, an Orthodox, Public School educated Jew, left London for Israel with his wife and children more than half a century ago. Reflecting on his extraordinary life, he asks:
Should I have come on Aliyah? Was England better than Israel now? “Israel was, indeed, a Promised Land - but that promise did not include a rose garden!”
In this unmissable presentation, Norman Oster will cover his experience of the law in two countries, how Jewish fantasy contrasts with Israeli reality, whether the emphasis on the Shoah is a lesson in history or a boomerang, sexual discrimination and the abuse inflicted by Rabbinical authorities.
