Booking and Covid Guidelines for
Shabbat and midweek services
Please note that from now on, pre-booking is not necessary to attend our Shabbat services, that includes our children and youth services, but with Covid more prevalent in the community and in order to protect people who are more vulnerable, we are advising members who wish to come to shul to take a lateral flow test before Shabbat. We really appreciate your assistance in this matter.

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
