We are now recruiting staff for September, so please get in touch with me, if you are interested in teaching, or if you know anyone who might be suitable: headteacher@sps.uk.com.
A highlight for Ruach in June was the Family Service. While Philip and Jane provided coffee for parents, the students spent the first part of the morning with Graham Carpenter, in a fun music workshop, before joining parents and the regular congregation in the sanctuary for a truly uplifting service. Thank you to everyone who took part.
The next Family Service will be a Friday Family Service on Friday 7th July at 4.15pm. Natalie and Katie will be providing refreshments again. We look forward to seeing you there!
July will also see the end of term for Ruach, and we will be holding a celebration and prize giving (prize winners will be reported in the next issue of the Gate). We will also be welcoming Amie Taylor, who comes highly recommended by the book charity, PJ Library. Amie will be running interactive storytelling workshops for the students on Jewish themes.
Sadly, at the end of term, we will also be saying good-bye to two very valued members of staff. Phoebe Cohen, who has grown up in our community, was a student and an assistant at Ruach, and has been teaching Jewish Studies for the last two years. Phoebe will be starting her university course in the autumn. Rachel Vogler came to us from Finchley Reform Synagogue, and has been teaching the Bnei Mitzvah class this year. Rachel will also be concentrating on her studies next year. We will miss Phoebe and Rachel, and we wish them every success in the future.
Finally, our parent and toddler group, Mini-Ruach, is going from strength to strength, with over 20 children coming on a Friday morning. The last Friday session before the summer holidays will be on 14th July at 10am.
