8/9 October 2021, 2/3 Cheshvan 5782

I love these photos from our past month of Tishri. We managed real community moments together. This new month of Cheshvan sees a focus on learning, as you saw in Shofar. The promise of second chances gets reinforced by Noach and the rainbow coming this Shabbat. “This is the sign of the covenant I have established between me and all life on the earth.”

Here are the FPS learning opportunities ready for this fresh academic year. Hebrew reading with some modern Ivrit as well with Eti Wade on Wednesdays at 1pm (for those interested in evening Hebrew class please let us know). Were you struck by the camaraderie and learning of our our Adult B’nei Mitzvah group? A taster meeting will be next week 13 October 6pm. Delving into Judaism will be asking this term Is God Compulsory? Cafe Ivriah promises stimulating chat and connections. And look out for more in the coming weeks.

We’ll channel the poet William Blake.

“In seed time learn, in harvest teach,
in winter enjoy.”

Shabbat shalom,
Rebecca
