Congratulations to Jon and Lucy on their wedding in just 3 days time. We will all be thinking of you and Rabbi Anthony. This is the first Mosaic Masorti wedding since we arrived at Stanmore Hill.
22 days to go to HHD
There are still plenty of seats to be had at the temple for all the High Holy Day Services.
Help is needed
We are looking for helpers to help set up the chairs, tables, ark, machzorim and artefacts on Friday 15th September for 2pm ish.
We need cars with boots to aid schlepping. Icon with cars with boots open.
Tashlich will take place on Saturday 16th September in the late afternoon. Icon of water and bread. It is a wonderful occasion and will be held at the lake off Gordon Avenue in Stanmore. The detailed timings will be in the Kehila magazine which will be sent out next week.
We are looking forward to having a good attendance of worshippers on Erev Rosh Hashannah on Friday 15th September. Come and join us and start off the New Year in style. A few weeks ago there was a minyan plus 1 for a Friday night. The atmosphere was religiostical. If you do not know the word come along and experience that sentiment of wonderfulness yourself.
Visit to Cheshunt cemetery – Wednesday 13th September
As we highlighted last week, it is customary to visit relatives the graves of relatives and friends buried at cemeteries before the High Holy Days. Rabbi Anthony has arranged a visit to the main cemetery at Cheshunt between 1100 – 1300, so congregants can visit their departed loved ones, with someone to accompany them. In the past, we have visited the graves, as a group, to former Mosaic Masorti members. We are happy to extend this. Please have the details and contact Edwin if you plan to attend and we will try and sort out additional transport, leaving MJC Stanmore Hill at 1015
Tombstone Consecration
The Stone Setting for Doreen Black, the mother of Stephen, will be on Sunday 27th August, 12.00 midday at Bushey Old Cemetery.
