Rabbi Charley Baginsky, Co-Lead of The Movement for Progressive Judaism, joins LBC for a wide-ranging conversation on faith, mental health and the role of religious leadership in public life.

In this full interview, she discusses Equi’s Beyond the Clinic report and the importance of building a more faith-literate mental health system that recognises the whole person. The conversation also explores how greater understanding of faith across society can strengthen care, trust and social cohesion.

Rabbi Charley reflects on recent public moments, including the Iftar in Trafalgar Square, the installation of the new Archbishop of Canterbury, Sarah Mullally, and what these moments say about interfaith relations in the UK today.

She also speaks candidly about how the Jewish community is feeling in the context of rising antisemitism in Britain, and the responsibility of leaders, institutions and media to respond with clarity, care and confidence.
This is a thoughtful discussion on faith, identity, mental health support, interfaith dialogue and the future of a more understanding and connected society.
