Refuah Schlemahs
We always mention people who are unwell at the Shabbat service and to wish them a speedy recovery. If you would like a person mentioned, please notify edwin.lucas6@googlemail.com by sunset on a Friday. It was wonderful to welcome back a congregant who has been unwell for a long time last Shabbas
Sponsoring a kiddish
If you would like to sponsor a kiddish for any special occasion, like a birthday, anniversary, before going on a special journey, coming back from a special journey, new home, restored good health, please advise Ann in the office and she will see if the date is free admin@mosaicmasorti.org.uk.
Walking is still healthy
The Henry walks are fun and there is a refreshment built in at the end for all attendees. You can ask a number of Masorti congregants all about the walks and then check out that they are not exaggerating how wonderful they are. Join them every Tuesday to check it out for yourself.
