Business Description

London Jewish Cultural Centre
Educating, Inspiring and Connecting with Jewish Identity and the Wider World

Over 1,500 people each week come through the doors of the London Jewish Cultural Centre (LJCC), London's leading provider of Jewish education and culture. Ivy House, the Centre's home since 2005 and the former home of Prima Ballerina Anna Pavlova, has become the most exciting Jewish space in London. Independent and inclusive, the Centre offers the broadest range of courses, events and leisure activities throughout the year. Jews and non-Jews of all ages and affiliations engage with Jewish life and heritage, in a welcoming, friendly environment. The Centre has earned its reputation for quality and excellence.

At the heart of the LJCC lies its Holocaust and Anti-Racism Education Department, fighting prejudice through education. LJCC initiatives have been teaching children about the Holocaust in schools across the UK for many years, incorporating personal testimony from over 60 Holocaust survivors who work closely with the Centre. The experience of hearing survivors tell their stories in person has proven to be a very powerful tool in influencing young people against prejudice, standing up for the vulnerable and oppressed. Many survivors are now very elderly and some are frail but their commitment to the task never falters.


Business Services
With over 80 courses, lectures and seminars to choose from each term, the Centre's educational programme continues to grow in scope and depth, attracting world renowned speakers and academics. The LJCC also encourages people to search farther afield for their roots, with LJCC historians and guides leading professionally organised walsk and tours to places of Jewish interest.

FUSION, the LJCC's innovative youth programme, offers young people engaging ways to develop new skills and express themselves both individually and through a variety of creative group workshops. In 2011, activities will include movie making, graffiti workshops, animation, cookery and podcasting.

Politicians, journalists, musicians, artists, commentators and international celebrities feature regularly at Ivy House, featuring in the LJCC's popular Cultural and Music & Dance seasons. The Hampstead & Highgate Literary Festival, organised and hosted by the Centre in September, has already become an established fixture on London's literary calendar after just two years. In 2010, over 2,300 book lovers flocked to Ivy House over three days to participate in creative workshops and hear 78 renowned authors and speakers. The 2012 Festival will take place from 9-11September.
