Yeshurun
Launches Major New Programme To Boost Your In-Service Experience
First
Session This Monday Night
We
are pleased to announce the launch of a new four part programme to
boost your in-service experience, focusing on our prayers and the way
we say them.
Called
the Tefillah (ie 'Prayer') Programme the series of lectures and
classes is designed to enhance people's in-service experience by
creating a forum for learning and discussion about the structure of
the services as well as the history, meaning, interpretation and
halachah (laws) relating to particular prayers.
Led
by Rabbi Alan Lewis, Rabbi Geoffrey Shisler and Rev
Michael Simon, the programme will focus in particular on the
prayers for Succos, starting on Monday, 29th June.
These sessions no longer need to be pre-booked. Just turn
up. There is a small charge of £6 for a single session or
£10 for the evening. More

Compton
is Chairman of Emunah UK
Camille
Compton has become Chairman of Jewish women's organisation Emunah
in the
UK. Involved with Emunah for many years, she follows
mother-in-law, Gertrude Compton in high office within the
organisation
Emunah
is one of the leading providers of social welfare services in
Israel
, with 225 projects in 150 communities helping thousands of children
and their families on a daily basis through its network of residential
homes, high schools, day care centres and counseling & therapy
centres. Emunah in the
UK
is responsible for funding 35 of these projects.
One
of Compton's first challenges will be to get volunteers back into
Emunah. Until now a female domain, Emunah has been hit by the trend
for more and more women to go out to work. Compton nevertheless
hopes to get more volunteers back on board. Competition from
many more charities than have previously existed also means she needs
to raise Emunah's profile in the community.
We
wish her every success in her new role. She's seen here with
wife of the Chief Rabbi
, Elaine Sacks. More
