In this Sounds Jewish special direct from Jewish Book Week, we hear from novelist Amos Oz in conversation with Jonathan Freedland on the prospects for peace, why Israel attacked Gaza and why Europeans just don't get the Middle East conflict.

Jason Solomons talks families and how they can mess with your head with William Sutcliffe, Michele Hanson, Cosmo Landesman and Olivia Lichtenstein.
Journalist and author Rachel Shabi explains why Jews from Arab countries – Mizrahim – are still treated as second-class citizens in Israel.

And David Schneider chats about his revival of Yiddish cabaret, whose inspiration comes not from London's East End but from pre-war Germany.

Sounds Jewish is produced by the Jewish Community Centre for London.
