This Year's Tzedakah Appeal - Sistah Space & Kehillah
Thank you to all who have already generously donated. There is still time to donate! 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.
Sistah Space is a locally based Hackney charity that supports women, primarily of African heritage, who have experienced domestic abuse. Sistah Space provide advice, advocacy, support, and educational classes to women who have experienced abuse. Visit the Sistah Space website here

Mazal tov to Kezia Davis
A big mazal tov to Kehillah member Kezia, and to her family, who celebrated her batmitzvah last weekend. Kezia layned beautifully and gave a thoughtful Dvar Torah about a challenging parsha.
We also wish Kezia, her parents Anne and Aeron, and sisters Hannah and Miriam, a nesiah tova / safe journey, as the family is emigrating to New Zealand this week. Our usual practice in Kehillah is for us to celebrate the bnei mitzvah together as a community. Unfortunately, due to Covid restrictions, and the decision to not hold in-person services until after the High Holidays, it was not possible for us to mark Kezia's batmitzvah in the usual way, but we look forward to a return to our usual minhag (custom) with our bnei mitzvah next year. We look forward to keeping in touch with the whole family, and it is wonderful that the Kehillah community now stretches all the way to New Zealand.
