The Totteridge Friday Night Minyan

The Totteridge minyan is finished for this season, thank you to all those who have hosted and all those who have come along to support. We restart in April after Pesach next year  

​

Request for Men to join the Leyning Rota 

To enable greater participation from our members, the wardens would like to invite any men who might be interested in leyning. This could perhaps be their Bar Mitzvah Sedra or they could learn a new one?

Alternatively if you know anyone who would be interested, please could you let the wardens know.

​

Service buddies

We have a service buddy arrangement at Woodside Park to help with following and understanding the Shabbat service.

 

This will include finding your place in the siddur on arrival in shul and throughout the service, when to stand and why, in fact anything you would like to know about the workings of the service. We will pair you with a buddy who will sit next to you and help you find your way around. This arrangement will be entirely confidential.

 

If you interested in this, including acting as a buddy, please contact the shul office by telephone: 020 8445 4236 or email

WPS Youth Services

We are delighted to confirm that WPS Youth Services will be starting up again from this Shabbat, 5th December. 

 

Please register to attend via https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/YS5KG8D - we've set up bookings for all Shabbatot between now and 16th January and will let you know prior to each Shabbat if you have a seat.

All services will be full Shabbat services including Shacharit (from Shochen Ad) and Musaf, leining, prayers for the Queen and Israel and Divrei Torah. You are welcome to book one week, some weeks or every week. While seats are limited, due to social distancing rules, we hope to be able to give everyone a seat for each Shabbat they wish to attend. In the exceptional weeks where we are oversubscribed, we will allocate seats fairly. 

 

Services will take place in the first floor of the Community Centre and be from 10am to 12 noon. Please attend at the start time, especially boys as we need a minyan to start. Please bring your own siddur if you have one; we will not have any to give you.

 

Please note that face coverings must be worn at all times while on the premises so you must bring your own mask. Please also bring your own tissues to shul in case you need to cough or sneeze; please take any used tissues away with you. It should also be noted that we will need to keep the windows and doors open for ventilation purposes and therefore the room temperature may feel cold.  Therefore you may wish to wear warm clothing should the weather be inclement.

 

If you or anyone you have been in contact with show any symptoms of Coronavirus or are in self-isolation or quarantine you must not attend. If you can, please email to inform us. It is important that you read the Covid Guidelines  Please click here  for Attending Youth Services, including the final paragraph in bold.

 

We look forward to seeing you in shul!

Smart Squad

Year 8 Girls and Boys,

 

Due to COVID 19 Smart Squad is

not taking place at this time

​

Hi to all Year 8 Girls and Boys, Uncle Albert here, Smart Squad 2020 starts on shabbat 8th February and you are personally invited.“Smart”kids get ahead, so get wise and join up now.

​

I used to think the world was flat and the moon was made of cheese. Then I went to Smart Squad in my home town of Munich and whilst scooting home from shul worked out that E=mc2 and after Shabbat wrote down the General Theory of Relativity whilst watching Match of Ze Day and checking facebook.

​

Smart Squad will look at basic beliefs, with lab sessions including Science + the Bible, Existence of God, Origin of the Torah, Christianity, Why Pray?, and much, much more.

​

Unlike recent Squads taken by the Squadfather, we now have some top Nobel scientists to help. The first session, starting at 9.55am until 10.30 am, shabbat 8th February is “the Jewish Role in the World”and will be run by our very own Rabbi Akiva. Top Floor, Wiseman Linden building.

Future scientific talks will be given by Danny the Squadfather, Oxbridge graduate Ben Miller, Rabbi Akiva, Jacob+Lior+Ari, Andrea Passe, Richard Pinnick and other top brains.

​

Sessions will start with plenty of radioactive food and will be relatively funny. They will happen about every three weeks at 9.55am. Full list of dates out soon.

​

And all this at NO COST to you – out of this world eh?

​

Come join us on 8th February and try it out – no commitment but plenty of fresh croissants!

​

Any questions please contact Danny Wolinsky

Hochmah Squad

for Year 9 & 10 parents and kids:

 

Due to COVID 19 Hochmah Squad is

not taking place at this time

​

We are pleased to announce the launch of the Hochmah squad for Year 9 & 10.

 

What’s it about?  Hochmah means wisdom so it’s about anything Jewish and thought-provoking.  Likely topics will include:

 

• What is Reform and Conservative Judiasm about?

• Should we treat men and women differently?

• Why pray?

• Who wrote the Torah?

• Should we welcome refugees or send them away

• What makes a good (or bad) leader?

 

We’ll  be pulling in experts from across the community to address these topics just for you.  And you will have the opportunity to ask questions and make sure you get straight answers!   All served up with the usual squad nosh.

 

Who can come?  

 

Anyone in year 9 and 10.  Yes, anyone…..we’re including girls (well, it is about wisdom…..).  Please spread the word.
