You Don’t Have To Be Jewish

Available for over a year

Michael Freedland reports on a spate of letter bombs sent to the Israeli embassy and other Israeli targets in Britain and marks the centenary of the birth of former Chief Rabbi, Dr Joseph Hertz. He also speaks to Michael Bar-Zohar, author of Spies in the Promised Land, on the Israeli secret service – and to Rabbi Bernard Hooker, spiritual leader of Jamaican Jewry. This is a programme from the BBC archive, originally broadcast on BBC Radio in the 1980s. Aspects of the programme reflect the time when it was made, the sound quality is at times poor and due to rights considerations, the music may be shorter than in the original programme.
