Judaism, as any Jew will tell you, is a rule of life. This programme is concerned not with the history or the economics or the organisation of English Jewry but with the different ways in which this rule is practised - by the sophisticated liberal Jews who reject many of its precepts as irrelevant as well as by the rigidly orthodox who still obey it to the letter. with recordings made in Jewish communities, schools, and families, and comments by The Chief Rabbi, Sir Bernard Waley-Cohen and William Frankel

2: Car in gear, head in neutral
Does everybody run the same risk of having an accident on the road: or are there special classes of people who by disability, psychological make-up, or sheer ineducability tend to have more than their fair share of accidents? And, if there are such accident-prone people, is there any way of keeping them off the road?
