Talmud class
The Talmud class continues with Rabbi Anthony on Thursdays at 8.00 pm on a weekly basis during (roughly) school terms. This is accessible to all, whatever your previous experience of Jewish learning, and texts will be provided in translation. All members are very welcome as we begin our learning in Masekhet Sotah with the burning question what do you do with a jealous husband?!  The class is also available via Zoom: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/88246501121  Meeting ID: 882 4650 1121

Thursday 16th March – Gin Tasting
We will be having the Mosaic Masorti fund raiser to fund the refurbishment of our bequeathed Megillah with a Gin tasting, 8PM @ Stanmore Hill. Following our successful whisky tasting in January, come and taste a number of luxury, boutique gins (with tonic). Ticketing details are on the website.  I am told that despite the contributor’s love of Palwin that there will not be  a Palwin tasting fund raiser ever.  All ideas for fund raising are welcome.
