Activities at the LJS
The LJS is proud to host a number of regular weekly, monthly or annual activities:
Archive Tuesdays, Bridge Club, Gardening, Israeli Film Club, LJS Travel and the Walking group
Archive Tuesdays
The Archive Team works in the Assembly Hall most Tuesdays. Onsite activities include sorting historical papers, cataloguing, and photo preservation. If you have the use of a computer you can also help load documents into our web repository off-site.
If you interested in volunteering in person or financially or have any other questions, please contact our archivist.

Bridge Club
This small group of friendly and enthusiastic players meets on Monday afternoons from 2:00-4:30pm, returning early May 2022.
The cost is £2 per afternoon for members and £3 for non-members, and includes tea/coffee and biscuits and all equipment. There is very little waiting if numbers are uneven as dummy moves round. The standard of the group is intermediate to advanced. Help can be given to less confident players, but you do need to know how to play to a basic level.
For more details, please leave a message with the LJS by calling 020 7286 5181 or you can email ljs@ljs.org

LJS Travel
LJS Travel is monitoring the situation and will provide updates on our next trip here.
In the last few years, the LJS has organised trips to Krakov and Berlin, and two trips to Israel.
Our next planned break is an LJS Journey to Israel and Jordan in conjunction with Ecopeace, travelling down the Jordan Valley to look at Water Scarcity and Environmental Peacemaking, and at historical and religious sites. It is scheduled for 25th October - 1st November 2020 but will be re-evaluated in late summer in view of the current health situation.
