Yeshurun
is organising its first Mission to Poland, next year. Designed to be long enough to be meaningful but short enough to
avoid taking too long off work the Mission begins early on a Sunday
winter's morning on 15th February and concludes on Tuesday
evening, 17th February.
The
detailed itinerary is here, together with details of how to book.
You need to book the flights yourself NOW with Ryanair then contact our
agent, Marcel Manson, who will arrange everything else for you.
To
prepare for this important Mission, Yeshurun is hoping to run a
programme of cultural learning during the winter, before the trip, for
those attending, though of course anyone will be able to attend
these. Further details shortly.
 Can You Help The Needy for Yomtov?
Especially
in the current economic circumstances, Chover Leon
Topol is again coordinating our appeal to
provide financial assistance to the needy of our community. Donations
can be made through Yeshurun's office or directly to Chover Leon Topol

Israel
Mission Postponed following Economic Downturn
Yeshurun's Mission to Israel, which was due to have taken place over
Chanukah, has been postponed as the economic situation takes hold.
Yeshurun President, Russell Grossman (pictured), said rising household
bills, airline fuel surcharges and an increasingly unfavourable
exchange rate conspired to make the detailed schedule infeasible at
this time.
 He
said "Yeshurun still intends to go ahead with a Mission to Israel
at some stage in the future, and all the reasons for staging one
remain valid. However, we have to be sensitive to people's
current circumstances and as we were working on the detailed itinerary
it became clear that we would not be able to secure the numbers needed
for a successful trip. We also looked at moving the dates
forward to a shorter trip in November but this didn't work
either. We will keep the concept in mind however and hopefully
will revive the idea within the next 12 - 18 months.
In
contrast, the Poland
Trip to Cracow and environs, to be led in February by Rabbi Lewis,
is showing strong demand. The list is likely to close before the
number increases too much. Yeshurun wants to take around
25 people on the trip in total.
