​CHEDER AND FAMILIES

Thanks to everyone who helped make our annual Family Chanukah Party such a success especially to Paul and Evelyn Grabinar for their sponsorship.   Here is a video clip in case you couldn’t make it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFxw1B7rsN8&feature=em-uploademail.
And some pictures https://www.facebook.com/BerkshireJewish/posts/812670755526354
 
The Berkshire Community Cheder is growing!  We are very excited to now host a new class for children aged between 3 and 6 years old.  This is the perfect moment to enrol your younger child so that they don’t miss out.  Let us help your child to get the most of his/her Jewish identity.  Email [email protected]. 
 
Children!  Don’t miss our annual Frogs Shabbat.  Shabbat morning service with a special children’s service focused on Pharoah and the Ten Plagues, and a storytime sermon.  Service starts 9:30am on Saturday 9th January with a children’s service at 10:30.  As usual, lunch is available for a £5 donation (or free for students).
 
SOCIAL

The Berkshire Women’s Rosh Chodesh group will be meeting again at 8pm on 10 January.  We will do some chavruta-style study about Judaism and Trees/environment in honor of Tu Bishvat.   For more information, please contact Rebbetzin Shira.
 
Celebrate Tu Bishevat by attending a Tu Bishevat Seder at JCoB.  Sunday evening 24 January at 5:30pm.  (Come at 5pm to help prepare the 15 species of fruit.)   Seder will include bread and soup for supper.  Donation £10.  (No charge for students and children.)
