Thank you
We thank Jo Lewis and Gillian Gurner for organising an excellent day touring Jewish Oxford. Gillian writes: “After our enjoyable trip last Sunday, organised by Jo Lewis and Gillian Gurner, Mosaic will be organising another event of interest and judging by the happy faces on the photo, a great day was had by all. If there is a place you would like to visit, please advise Gillian or Jo via the shul office. We are looking for places around one hour’s coach journey”.
