From the Chair September 2017

It’s the time of year when we have taken stock. Unusually,

the weather had got considerably cooler and wetter and some

days have felt decidedly autumnal. But the High Holy Days

were warm and bright. I’m told that this isn’t unusual.

 

We had an excellent service with Elliott in August and

I felt his question and answer sermon about the current situation

in Israel, worked really well. It was lovely to have Leah back

with us on the first weekend 2nd September. We had an impressive

weekend. On Sunday the 3rd – simultaneously doing a fundraising

car boot sale and a clean up of the Old Meeting House.

 

We had a good annual joint Heritage Open Day with people from

the Norwich Hebrew Congregation, (NHC). Thank you to

Byron and Maureen for the excellent updating of the display boards,

which tell about the history of the Jewish communities in Norwich.

These are well worth a look and are stored at the NHC.

 

On Saturday September 16th, Emily led our Selichot and

we contemplated the auspicious time from Rosh Hashana

to Yom Kippur. As always, it was a thoughtful and contemplative

session helping us to get in the zone for the High Holy Days. We

considered forgiveness of ourselves and others.

 

We then moved onto the High Holy Days which will be followed by

our now traditional interfaith Sukkot. This is being held on October 7th

this year so we need to start collecting  fruit nets in which we hang

the produce. We already have a number of people of different faiths and

none who are joining us for the service.  See the events listing if you want to come along.

Also, Dee Robinson from New Routes Integration will be talking about her work with incomers

to Norwich.

 

Please do get in touch if you have any queries or are interested in attending services.
