We are Week 32 of our building works. You can peek at the sanctuary and progress right now.
This week’s parashat Emor describes the festival year in detail – the way we mark time and pause for commemorations.
‘Speak to the Israelites and say to them, these are the holy times designated for you all. These are my holy days.’ (Leviticus 23)
What follows is a detailed list of our Jewish calendar – Shabbat, Pesach, Shavuot, Sukkot… . It’s poignant this year, being out of our building for all festivals. Seder was wonderful at Moss Hall but I know coming to shul with me at Shaarei Tsedek or SPS isn’t the same as being home.
We are on day 31 of the Omer, 5 weeks through this counting. All this while, I am thinking about our building and its progress. How we miss being there and how grateful Council and I are for all your support! Caroline is organising for us another hard hat tour on Friday, 6th June to pique interest and pride in the progress. We are on the last piece of our marathon fund raising. Seeing where we are might remind you of your love and appreciation of our synagogue in Hutton Grove. We are currently looking at ways of our children marking bricks and burying a time capsule to capture this moment, this year, this adventure in the life of FPS.
Shabbat Shalom and here’s to the continuation of our works and a return for Rosh Hashanah together in our newly-renovated building.
