NEWSLETTER DECEMBER 2007 JOAN GOODMAN MEMORIAL LECTUREOn Wednesday, December 5th, 2007 at the Synagogue, Earlham Road, Norwich, Professor Simon Goldhill gave the 2007 Joan Goodman Lecture. Professor Goldhill's talk, entitled "Jerusalem and the Cotsworlds: why does Jerusalem look the way it does?", was a show-stopping performance, both brilliant and entertaining.
