Kaytana is our annual community children's summer scheme, organized under the auspices of Oxford WIZO. Kaytana aims to immerse our children in a positive Jewish experience through informal education, and we have covered many aspects of Jewish history in the past. In 2006 it was decided that the theme should be Medieval Jewish Oxford, the expulsion of the Jews from England in 1290 and the 350^th anniversary of the Jewish reentry into England that was commemorated that year.

How can we raise the profile of Medieval Jewish Oxford?

Address to Oxford Jewish Congregation by Dr Evie Kemp Rosh Hashanah 2006

Shabbat shalom and shanah tovah!

I would like to start by inviting everyone here to shut their eyes for a moment.

I want to take you all on a journey 750 years back in time to the year 1256.
