Arba Minim / Succah:
Unfortunately, there will not be any communal sets of Arba Minim available to members and for those who bring their own Arba Minim to shul, it is important to ensure that they are not touched or used by others outside of your own household or support bubble.
Only one household or support bubble can be inside the Succah at any one time and members should sanitise their hands on entering the Succah.
The Succah is up for those who wish to undertake the Mitzvah of eating in the Succah during Chol Hamoed. Due to social distancing guidelines, booking is essential by emailing Abi Wise pa@woodsidepark.org.uk at least 2 days in advance of your proposed visit with your date and time and the number of people in your household that will be attending. Only packaged kosher food may be brought in and consumed.
Simchat Torah:
Sadly, this year, Simchat Torah cannot involve the exuberant singing and dancing which we normally associate with the festival.
We are delighted to announce our Chatanim and Women of the Year:
Chatan Torah: Rabbi Akiva Rosenblatt
Chatan Bereishit: Maurice Huberman
Women of the Year: Joanna Diamond & Karen Harris
Mazel tov!
On Erev Shemini Atzeret there will be an online Yiskor service
