Current Events

René Cassin will be hosting an exclusive private reception and human rights awards evening at the Jewish Museum.

The purpose of this reception is to raise awareness of René Cassin, to recognise the championing of human rights in the Jewish community, and importantly, to raise much needed funds to enable the organisation to continue their excellent work in these challenging times.

René Cassin runs several campaigns and educational initiatives on issues such as discrimination, treatment of refugees, slavery and genocide. The organisation carries out a range of activities that are worthy of our support.  In 2010 alone René Cassin:

• brought a Jewish voice to a successful campaign influencing Government policy to end detention of children;
• staged human rights Shabbats in 20 London synagogues from all streams of Judaism and produced a resource pack; and
• hosted the Activist Enrichment Programme for the second year running, which develops a group of Jewish professionals into committed and passionate activists.

The event will offer you the opportunity to hear more about the work of this young, dynamic organisation, doing so much to be the Jewish voice for human rights.  Canapés and beverages will be provided, as well as a performance by accomplished cellist Rebecca Herman, a keynote address by the Honourable Lord Goldsmith QC, and unrestricted access to the Jewish Museum exhibits.

Please join us for what promises to be an enjoyable and informative evening. If you cannot attend the event then we would still appreciate your support for our organisation and its superb work.
