Letter in support of safe spaces for Black Jews, JoCs and Jews by choice
Kehillah's Anti-racism Working Group shares a letter with the community and encourages members to read and sign it. This is part of a broader antiracism campaign to recognise and celebrate that the Jewish people is multi-ethnic and multiracial, and also in response to the troubling abuse of Black Jewish members of our community by other Jews, on British Jewish online spaces. Such abuse is racist, and we stand as members of Kehillah in solidarity against racism in the Jewish community.

Send us pictures of your gardens!
Many of us have taken the opportunity over the last few months to be more mindful of the changes happening in the natural world around us - whether that be in your garden, your window box, or your local park. We would love to see some of your gardening photos which will be showcased in our upcoming edition of the newsletter, and/or a couple of sentences to explain how gardening/green spaces has been helpful over the last few challenging months.
