Youth
Do you have children aged eight and under?
PJ Library (PJ for pyjamas!) sends high-quality, Jewish books to families with children aged 0-8 years old, each month. The award-winning books celebrate Jewish culture, values and traditions through a wide range of stories and beautiful illustrations. PJ Library books are FREE and posted directly to child(ren), so they can build their own Jewish bedtime libraries. Over 8,000 children receive these books throughout the UK. Sign up your child (and any siblings under eight) at pjlibrary.org.uk. We love reading PJ Library books at our synagogue and we encourage families to sign up so they can build their own collection of PJ Library books at home.

Medical
Measles cases are rising in London. Measles is more than just a rash – it is a serious condition that spreads very easily and can lead to severe illness and even death. One in five measles cases may require a hospital visit, and one in fifteen measles cases could cause complications such as meningitis, sepsis and blindness.
Measles is not just a children’s problem; any unvaccinated person can catch it. We encourage you to check your own and your child’s vaccination status through your GP, where you can also book an appointment for any missed doses. There are also community catch-up clinics happening in Islington, book a slot for your child here.
The MMR vaccine is safe and effective, and will protect your child against three serious illnesses – measles, mumps and rubella.
