		The ruins between the Jewry Wall and the museum were excavated in the 1930s and preserved by the enlightened town council of the day for future generations to visit.

		It is difficult to suggest for what reason the wall received its name.
		Leicester being an appanage of the earls of Leicester, Simon de Montfort took the opportunity to prevent any interference with his seigniorial rights on the part of the king by expelling the Jews from Leicester in 1231 (C. Bemont, "Simon de Montfort," p.

		The Iron Wall has become a concrete obstacle to the formulation and implementation of a progressive vision of hope, a policy of peace.
		It thereby became less beholden to the opinions of the broad spectrum of American Jewry, and instead developed close ties to the Republican party in Washington and the Likud in Jerusalem.
		The relationship between American Jewry and the State of Israel is multi-faceted and in many respects perplexing.

	Going Home
		Before the Romans arrived and installed a walled garrison town called Ratae, an Iron Age tribe had a settlement on the shores of the Soar, the river that runs just west of the current town.
		A large colonnade, the Jewry Wall, survives from this period and is one of largest surviving pieces of Roman masonry in Britain.
		The wall takes its name not from the presence of a Jewish quarter in the area, but from the Jurats--the medieval town councilors, who apparently met nearby.

	Blackfriars Roman pavement
		Thought to have been laid between 70 and 85 AD during the rule of Governor Julius Agricola, the mosaic was discovered in 1832 whilst foundations were being dug for a house at 53 Jewry Wall Street.

		The pavement was removed to the city's Jewry Wall Museum in the mid 1970s.

	Jewish Law - Commentary/Opinion - Will the Future of American Jewry be Secured by Secularism or Faith?
		Thus, the strategy pursued by leading Jewish organizations has been to fight in the courts and the legislatures for a high "wall of separation" between church and the lowering of any barriers to the access and equality of opportunity for Jewish individuals in our society.
		While pursuing these goals single-mindedly, the establishment overlooked the fact that embrace of secularism came at the expense of the most salient feature of the Jewish people; the Jewish religion.
		Nonetheless, the perception of success -- through Jews being admitted and welcomed to Ivy League colleges, Wall Street firms and high government posts -- lulled the community into not only a sense of security, but a sense of victory; Jews had "made it" in America.

		As Jerusalem grew outside the walls, the architecture became characterized chiefly by the red-tiled roofs and iron beams.

		The origin of the name is a mystery, though it may have been named after Leicester's medieval Jewish community who were expelled from Leicester by the town charter of 1250.

		The exhibition includes a series of illustrations showing street scenes from Iron Age, Roman, Saxon, Medieval and 18th century Leicester, together with drawings of the burial of the Glen Parva Lady and the front entrance to the Roman Forum.
