Friday Family Service

On Friday 19th May, Rabbi Yuval conducted the first Friday Family Service, after school, in the Schindler Hall.

Unsure as to how many families would attend, word of mouth had done the trick and we were delighted that 17 children from the ages of 6 months up to 9 years, along with their family members, turned up, eager to participate! It was great to see many from the successful 'Mini-Ruach' playgroup and some non-members who'd been invited along too.

The atmosphere was relaxed, yet fun, with everyone singing in a circle following the Shabbat stories, songs and prayers led by our Rabbi, allowing all the children and their parents to join in. At the end of the service, some of the older children helped with the lighting of the candles and everyone said the blessings over the wine (grape juice!) and challah before enjoying a delicious buffet (courtesy of Katie Dack and myself) of pizza, crisps, dips, cakes and much more!

The rest of the time was spent eating, chatting, playing, meeting new friends and making a date for the next family service.

On that note, we do hope you can join us on Friday 7th July at 4.15pm which will be our last service before the summer holidays. Spread the word!
