Words From Our Religious Activities Committee

Now Shavuot is over, and the Pet Service is done (a massive thank you to Emma Marsh for playing the guitar and keeping me in tune), we are now truly in the summer run up to the High Holy Days. Even this Gate is on its holiday and comes back to you in September. This does not mean that services at SPS cease. We carry on with our Shabbat services even though we allow our Rabbi a holiday!
Without our dedicated layreaders, many of them from RAC, SPS would need to pay visiting Rabbis so please come along and support our friends from 28th July to 12th August as I thank Barry Mathiason, Jonathon Clark, Julian Sampson, Phil Zeligman, Bob Dulin, Barbara Mar$n, and Rabbi Michael Standfield and Rabbi Harry Jacobi.
I know I thanked everyone in the AGM booklet for the work RAC put into making sure SPS’s variety of services is the envy of the LJ community. But for those that don’t know I must thank them again as I am now standing down as Chair of the committee. This is due to a new job and the clash of interests it presents. So my thanks to Jonathon Clark, Max Donen (new member), Bob Dulin, Jane Greenfield, Michael Henriques, Rabbi Keren, Jill Newton, Pearl Phillips, Michele Raab, Julian Sampson, Carol Standfield and Phil Zeligman. The first meeting after the AGM will be electing the new officers and I know they will do a sterling job.
Don’t forget to come to shul on 14th July as Shabbat Resouled takeover the music at SPS and deliver a fantastic experience. See you there!
Have a fantastic summer, take a break from the work-life-cycle but remember SPS is here for your spiritual battery refresh too.
