Monday 1 AprilBurgh House - Constable: 200 Years in HampsteadSee full details...
FREE ENTRY.
John Constable’s love of Hampstead and the Heath is largely overlooked but, as the second centenary of his first visit here approaches, this six month exhibition will redress the balance, thanks to a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund. We will be showing seven of Constable’s original works on loan from the Victoria and Albert Museum, just steps from the breathtaking views that inspired them. This will be a rare opportunity to see these iconic pieces in their natural home.
Heard about our Constable Scramble to riase funds for the House? Well we made it back and it's not too late to donate!

Tuesday 16 AprilLJCC - What Should We Think About Israel? with Clive Lawton2pm to 4pm at Ivy House . See full details...
srael has become one of the hottest issues in the Jewish world. For a time it seemed that support for Israel might unite many Jews who could not agree on other matters, but the topic now seems to have returned to one of deep controversy, ranging from passionate supporters, to utter rejectionists, the far, loony fringe of actually siding with extreme enemies. How did we get here, what are the issues and can we get any perspective on all of this? This afternoon special seems like an intelligent and thoughtful way to mark Yom Ha’atzmaut, Israel’s 75th independence day.
