In December 2000, the Isaac and Jessie Kaplan Centre for Jewish Studies Research at the University of Cape Town in association with the new South African Jewish Museum organised a forum to discuss a variety of perspectives on Jewish South African life.

Participants grappled with the South African Jewish community's perspectives on the immigration experience, adaptation to the new country and the construction of a new identity, the host society's response to the newcomers, and attitudes towards racism and apartheid- pressingly relevant issues in a South Africa then only six years down the road of true democracy.
