Members of the Israel Group took part in the Israel Lobby Day jointly
organised by the Zionist Federation
and the Christian Friends of Israel,
which this year placed particular
emphasis on celebrating the most
important seventy contributions to the
world since the declaration of Israel’s
independence seventy years ago. In
the morning there was a briefing
session, which included an address
by video link from Israel by an IDF
Intelligence Officer. He gave a report
on the current threats to Israel, including 120,000 Hezbollah rockets
and the corrosive influence of Iran throughout the Middle East. He
also focused on the ongoing medical help Israel was offering to
Syrians, and how this had helped 4,000 Syrians over the last 3-4
years and was ongoing. The treatment was not just offered close to
the border, but Syrians were taken to hospitals within Israel,
sometimes for long-term treatment. When they returned to Syria, they
were assisted with ongoing medication and supplies.
In the afternoon we moved to the House of Commons where we
lobbied our respective MP's. Barry Kafka and Peter Leslie lobbied
Theresa Villiers MP. She is an active supporter of Israel and we
thanked her for the work she had done in bringing to the
Government's attention the fact that Hezbollah, a terrorist
organisation, had been allowed to fly its flag at demonstrations. We
also reminded her that, today, Israel is all too often thought of in terms
of conflict with the Palestinians. Whilst it was, of course, a
conflict which we all hoped would be resolved peacefully in the future,
we should also recognise all that Israel and its citizens - Jews,
Christians, Muslims, Druze, Bedouin and
other religions - had achieved in such a
relatively short period of time in the fields
of agriculture, medicine, science,
technology and culture, not forgetting
peace agreements with two former
enemies, Egypt and Jordan.
Barry Kafka and Eric Bradman, SPS’s Board of Deputies Delegates, also met with Enfield, Southgate MP
Bambos Charalambous, after making an initial contact at the recent
Holocaust Memorial Ceremony at Dugdale Centre, in Enfield. Our
representatives presented Mr Charalambous with a booklet
highlighting 70 achievements of the Israeli State in its 70 years.
Perhaps the most interesting points were that Israel had taken in by
far the largest amount of Immigrants of all the world’s countries,
percentage wise, and was the only
country where trees had increased in
numbers since World War 2. Mr
Charalambous, whilst being evenhanded,
expressed strong support for
Israel being able to exist without
constant threat. He also supported the
Jewish Community in the U.K. and
vowed to speak out against AntiSemitism
wherever he came across it.
He listened keenly to the points which
were made and also volunteered to attend any meeting we requested
and to be available for any Community Events to which he was
invited. He would shortly be attending a Saturday morning service at
SPS.
During the afternoon we listened to a number of speeches from
sympathetic MPs and members of the House of Lords from all political
parties, including our local MP Theresia Villiers.

MARCH Choice
The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton
The Age of Innocence is set in New York at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20 Century. The story is set in the upper middle class society of the day and describes the unrequited love between Newland Archer and the exotic divorcee Ellen Olenska. The story follows the twists and turns of a besotted Newland, who is already engaged to the beautiful May Welland, a woman who fulfils the requirements of this status conscious society in which they both live. By contrast Ellen does not fit in, she is her own woman, who intrigues the men but is feared or disliked by the women, who feel she is ‘beneath them.’ The power of the book lies in the reality of the characters, who form a wealthy, and self righteous group of insiders. The relationships, the parties and social life, are all part of the exclusivity, and kept me involved throughout. For me the story encompasses far more than the individuals concerned, it is about the closed society in which there is a moralistic atmosphere which the families and friends value beyond all else, the importance of ‘marrying well’ and not bringing shame upon the family. On the surface it represents High Society, but simmering beneath the surface are their secrets, shame and desires. The book describes a world which the author, Edith Wharton was part of. She creates an atmosphere that is believable and compelling. Her writing is incisive and she makes wonderful asides and comments about her characters, which could apply to life today, as well as over 100 years ago, when the book was written.

January 2018 - Book Club choices
We will be reading:
The Nutshell by Ian McEwan the critically acclaimed writer of 17 books including Saturday and On Chesil Beach and Atonement.
Trudy has betrayed her husband, John. She's still in the marital home – a dilapidated, priceless London townhouse – but not with John. Instead, she's with his brother, Claude, and the two of them have a plan. But there is a witness to their plot: the inquisitive, nine-month-old resident of Trudy's womb.
The Glass Castle by Jeanette Walls
The true memoir of the journey she took from the dusty mining towns of the American Southwest, to an antique filled apartment on Park Avenue. The book tells how she escaped to New York with her older sister at just seventeen. Her younger siblings followed later. After pursuing the education and civilisation her parents sought to escape, she eventually succeeds in her quest for the 'mundane, middle class existence' she had always craved. In her apartment, overlooked by 'a portrait of someone
else's ancestor' she recounts poignant remembered images of star watching with her father, with recollections of a chaotic, disturbing life with her parents.

The Throwaway Children by Diney Costeloe
Rita and Rosie Stevens are only nine and five years old when their widowed
mother marries a violent bully called Jimmy Randall and has a baby boy by

entitle them to do what they like with the children. And it is not long before
the powers that be decide to send a consignment of orphans to their sister
institution in Australia. Among them – without their family's consent or
knowledge – are Rita and Rosie, the throwaway children.

Israel Group
Members of the Israel Group attended the East Barnet Festival to help at the Friends of Israel stall. The event was a great success. More than twenty people signed the contacts sheet on the day and now receive emails. Nearly eight hundred leaflets promoting Israel were given out.
During the day we had visits from the local MP Theresa Villiers and Deputy Mayor of Barnet Val Duchinsky who showed great interest in our work. It is very important that we put Israel's case to the public so as to counteract some of the misleading propaganda that they receive.
We always welcome new members.

Isreal Group
Members of the Israel Group aended Yom Ha’atzmaut 2017 at Sha’arei Tsedek Reform Synagogue. The evening began with a very moving Yom Hazikaron service in remembrance of those who had died in the wars of Israel. This service was conducted by Rabbi Rebecca Birk from Finchley Progressive Synagogue, Rabbi Judith Levi and Rabbi James Baaden from Sha’arei Tsedek Reform Synagogue and Rabbi Yuval Keren from Southgate Progressive Synagogue.
We then listened to a very interesng talk from Rabbi Yuval Keren about Naom Shemer’s song ‘Yerushalayim Shel Zahav’. The popular Israeli song ‘Jerusalem of Gold' was wrien in 1967.The original song described the Jewish People’s 2000-year longing to return to Jerusalem; Shemer added a final verse after the Six-Day War to celebrate Jerusalem’s unificaon under Israeli control. At that me, the Old City was under Jordanian rule; Jews had been barred from entering, and many sites had been desecrated. Only three weeks after the song had been published, the Six-Day War broke out. The song was the bale cry and morale booster of the Israeli troops. Shemer even sang it for them before the war, making them among the first in the world to hear it. On 7 June, the Israel Defence Forces captured the eastern part of Jerusalem and the Old City from the Jordanians. When Shemer heard the paratroopers singing ‘Jerusalem of Gold’ at the Western Wall, she wrote a final verse, reversing the phrases of lamentaon found in the second verse. The line about sofas sounding from the Temple Mount is a reference to an event that actually took place on 7 June.
During the evening we had some excellent Israeli food from a buffet organised by Janet and Jane which brought back happy memories to many at the event who had been to Israel.

Book Club
Our last morning mee,ng will be on Monday 20th March at 11am when we will be discussing The Betrayal by Helen Dunmore.
Leningrad, 1952. Andrei, a young hospital doctor and Anna, a nursery school teacher, are forging a life together in the post-war, post-siege wreckage. But their happiness is precarious, like that of millions of Russians who must avoid the claws of Stalin's merciless Ministry for State security. So when Andrei is asked to treat the seriously ill child of a senior secret police officer, he and Anna are fear-ful. Trapped in an impossible, maybe unwinnable game, can they avoid the whispers and watchful eyes of those who will say or do anything to save themselves?
The Betrayal is a powerful and touching novel of ordinary people in the grip of a terrible and sinis-ter regime, and a moving portrait of a love that will not be extinguished.
You are welcome to come to our book club, even if you haven’t read or even finished a book as our discussions lead us in different directions. As well as discussing the book, we also socialise.
For details of the venue please contact Phyllis Freedman.
We welcome suggestions for books to read and discuss and also are pleased to see new members; all we ask is £1 to cover refreshments.

Isreal Group
Members of the Israel Group attended the UK International Jewish Film Festival to see the film 'The Settlers' followed by a panel discussion. The director, Shimon Dotan, managed to interweave fascinating archival footage with contemporary interviews with settlers and academics.
It was a historical overview, geopolitical study and intimate look at the people, which gave us a deeper understanding of one of the most difficult challenges facing Israel and the international community today. The film was followed by a lively discussion chaired by Keren Misgav Ristvedt with panellists Professors Colin Shindler and Yossi Mekelberg during which some of the audience protested that there should have been a panellist who represented the settlers’ viewpoint. It was certainly worth us attending the event.

Spy Club: Chanukah Party
On Sunday 13th December SPY Club had their annual end-of-year Chanukah party/ Bring-a-Friend party. This is always extremely fun and enjoyable with a variety of games and food; there was fish finger wraps and, of course latkas!
The games included making edible Chanukiah's out of chocolate fingers, marshmallow fluff, wafers, sponge fingers and smarties. Other games included a darts tournament and a range of games with balloons which ended in a competition to see which team could burst the balloons first by sitting on them.
The whole evening was a great success and everyone looks forward to future meetings in the coming year.
SPY is aimed at school years 5 and over. There is a small entrance fee which helps to cover the food and to provide games and activities. It is a great way for young people to meet and have fun together from all over the community.

Book Club
The SPS book club has been running for about 10 years, during which time we have read and discussed a variety of different genres. We meet about once every 4 to 6 weeks with members taking it in turn to host the evening; the host provides refreshments and offers discussion questions about the book which can lead to some interesting differences of views.
Overall our meetings are good fun. All we ask is for a £1 donation which is given to the host to cover the cost of food.
Some of our books are provided by Barnet Library, a service they offer to book clubs; others we order from our own library, buy or even download onto Kindles.
Our last meeting:
At our November meeting we discussed The Farm by Tom Rob Smith.
Opinions varied although the majority of us found it a page turner, but we did agree that there were quite a lot of loose ends. Our discussions, as usual, took us in different directions including mental illness, flats being built in Finchley and libraries possibly closing in Barnet.
Future meetings:
Our next meeting will be on 18th January when we will discuss One Night in Winter by Simon Sebag Montefiore.
We decided that our February meeting will be on Wednesday 17th, and we will discuss Necessary Lies by Diane Chamberlain.
Due to various holidays – school and religious - we decided to ignore March and go straight to April and agreed on 11th when we will discuss The Daughter's Secret by Eva Holland.
New readers are always welcome and anyone wishing to join our group can contact the Synagogue office for more information.
