Yom Kippur – Evening of Sunday 24th September – 25th September

As with our Rosh Hashanah morning service, both Kol Nidre and Yom Kippur Morning services are due to be over capacity. We therefore ask those who are booked to attend to please arrive to these services & events promptly. This will help take the stress off of our volunteers in trying to organise capacity & seating. Please also do not come if you feel unwell and suspect it may be due to a contagious illness.

If you have not already emailed or added when booking online the names of immediate family and close friends who are deceased to our Yizkor list, the deadline to do so is TODAY (Thursday 21st September) as names sent after today cannot be garunteed to be recieved in time for the service on Monday. It is also customary to make a donation to charity in memory of our loved ones. This year we are collecting for Akwaaba (registered charity 1181291), as well as for our Kehillah North London (registered charity 1163562). Further info in the link below.

Our Administrator Ashleigh will be unavailable on email after 5:30pm on 22nd September until the Tuesday after Yom Kippur. For information on how to contact her during these times for urgend and sensitive matters, see information on our contact details page here. Tickets to services will be similarly unavailable for members to book from 5:30pm on 22nd September.
