All are counting the days in #ISRAEL & #GAZA : 200+ days so far. Meanwhile, Jews are counting the 49 days from #Passover / #Pesach to #Shavuot , 'Weeks'. Will there be a #Ceasefire before the 7 weeks are complete? Will the #Hostages have come home? rabbiellisarah.com/counting-the-d… hold on

Rabbi Gabriel’s weekly adult evening class will resume on Thurs 9 May 7 – 8pm. The new course is : Rich & Poor in Judaism.
We all know the stereotypes, but it’s still true that lots of Jewish texts are about money. We'll explore the rights, wrongs & dilemmas of spending as Jews.

Wishing you all a very happy #Passover , Chag Pesach Sameach! Tonight is our Communal Seder led by Rabbi Gabriel (fully booked). Tomorrow is our 'matzah ramble' in Stanmer Park. After the walk, we will return to shul for a short Pesach service beginning at approximately 12:30pm.

With Pesach starting tomorrow, what additions will you make to your seder plate?
