Thought for the Week

   


Shabbat Vayetzé

 

 

 

The little black cat is back lodging with me. We have re-established our relationship, with me as the main provider of food and many strokes, she as an endless source of wonder and conversation. Night times are when she is most chatty, although it is more than often difficult to understand what she is saying. Food? Always. Caresses? Almost always when she pushes her little head against my knuckles...

The LJS Yom Kippur Appeal 5785/2024


 

The LJS has always recognised an obligation to others outside our community and one way it does so is by raising money for various charities. Members and Friends generously contribute to the High Holy Day Appeal and are part of this ethos of care for others. In 2023 the High Holy Day Appeal raised just over £78,000.00. As is our custom, we supported an Israeli charity, an Anglo-Jewish charity, and a UK charity.
