Focus - Jurnet's House charity

In this episode of Focus on Hospital Radio Norwich, Jules speaks with Dr. Oren Margolis from the University of East Anglia about the rich but often overlooked Jewish heritage of Norwich. They discuss the significance of Jurnet’s House—the oldest identifiable site of Jewish residence in England—along with the city’s medieval Jewish community, its scholars, and the difficult legacy of the first recorded blood libel.

Dr. Margolis also outlines plans to transform Jurnet’s House into a centre for Jewish culture, education, and community engagement, as well as the development of a new Jewish heritage trail through the city.
