This year's Jeneration Beit Midrash Team includes:
 
Rabbi Colin Eimer - Colin has been Rabbi at Shaarei Tzedek, North London Reform Synagogue (formely Southgate and District Reform Synagogue) since 1977. Lecturer in Biblical Hebrew at Leo Baeck College for decades, Colin is currently studying for an MA in modern European Jewish thought, history and culture. Colin's first rabbinic position was in Paris before he became the first rabbi of Radlett and Bushey Reform Synagogue.

Rabbi Margaret Jacobi - Margaret has been Rabbi at Birmingham Progressive Synagogue since 1994. She is also Joint Chair of the Rabbinic Conference of Liberal Judaism.  Before entering the rabbinate she qualified as a medical doctor and has published a number of papers on Jewish medical ethics, most recently 'The Challenge of Genetic Research' in 'Aspects of Liberal Jewish Thought'. She is now working for a PhD on the last chapter of Talmud Sanhedrin, about the world to come.
 
Rabbi Mark Goldsmith - Mark is a rabbi at Alyth (North Western Reform Synagogue).  He gained semichah from Leo Baeck College in 1996 and has served Liberal and Reform congregations ever since.  Mark has been the organiser of the three Jeneration Batei Midrash so far. He is deeply committed to building meaningful Jewish journeys for himself and others through study, both traditional and contemporary. Mark is currently writing a book "The Incomplete Book of Jewish Spirituality" with Rabbi Marcia Plumb.

Rabbi Markus Lange - Markus is a Masorti rabbi who gained semichah from Leo Baeck College last year.  His rabbinic studies began at the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York where, among much more, he learnt to specialise in healthcare chaplaincy. Today he is the resident chaplain at the Marie Curie Hospice in Hampstead and a member of staff at the Council of Christians and Jews. He teaches on Bible, prayer, liturgy, pastoral and spiritual care, theology and interfaith relations at New North London and many other synagogues.

Together we will be teaching about matters of life and death, from our different perspectives, tricky ethical challenges given today's medical possibilities and also financial restrictions.  Markus is frequently with people at the very end of their lives when tough choices have to be made, Margaret is an expert on the possibilities for intervening in the genetic make up of human beings, Mark has worked on the idea that there is now a mitzvah of organ donation, Colin has decades of experience in helping people cope with the ups and downs of life.

We will also, in Jeneration Beit Midrash tradition, enjoy a truly restful Shabbat together and have plenty of time to work through participants own questions on any aspect of Jewish practice, theology, history and the issues that link and divide denominations of Judaism using our own knowledge and the extensive text library that we bring each time to the Beit Midrash.
