Religion and culture
Eric Bramsted reflects on culture, religion, identity and Israel
As the son of a German Jew who fled from Frankfurt to the UK with his family immediately after he was dismissed from his grammar school teaching post when the Nazis came to power in 1933, I strongly disagree with the anti-Zionist views of Andree Ryan (27 June).

My wife is an active member of Wimbledon Reform Synagogue and I have worshipped there regularly for thirty years. I am also a member of the Kingston Quaker/Jewish Dialogue group.
