Return to in person services - Racial Justice Shabbat this Saturday 17th October from 11am with Youth Education 10am-12noon
This Saturday we return to in person services with our Racial Justice Shabbat (part of our Black History Month shabbatot) both on Zoom and in-person on 17th October from 11am. Cheder (10am-12noon) and Creche (from 11am) will also be re-starting. Creche will now be running alongside all of our in person Shabbat morning services. Contact Omar if you are interested in your child attending Cheder or bring your little ones along with you to the service. We will be limiting numbers in services to allow for social distancing so please do book in advance. If you have your own books, do bring them with to minimise the risk of transmission. We also have PDF copies of the siddur and this week's parsha that can be downloaded to devices and brought to in person services or used by those joining us on Zoom. Full information, booking form & PDF resources along with a downloadable copy of our Risk Asessment can be found on our Shabbat services page.

This Year's Tzedakah Appeal - Sistah Space & Kehillah
Thank you to all who have already generously donated. We would love to grow our Tzedakah Appeal this year to have more individual donations than previously - and have set ourselves a target of receiving 50 donations. Please do, if you haven't already, help us reach our target and make a donation! Our Tzedakah Appeal is raising money for Sistah Space, as well as for our own Kehillah. Donations to Kehillah allow us to offer more, as well as being able to subsidise membership and events for those members and friends who may have financial difficulties.

Davina Good Stone setting
Our long standing member Davina Good's stone setting is taking place on 18th October with Rabbi Danny Rich officiating. Davina was a familiar face at many Kehillah events before her death on 20th November 2019. Due to Covid restrictions, only those invited by Davina's next of kin may attend the stone setting, but for those wishing to see the stone, the grave can be visited after the stone setting. A reminder that Davina is buried at The Western Cemetery (Cheshunt), Bullscross Ride, EN7 5HT.
