Rabbi Benji, reading Rabbi Ariel Friedlander's Sermon - Shabbat Morning Service, 27th July
On Shabbat, 26-27th July, we got a chance to honour and celebrate the memory or Rabbi Friedlander z'l, who served our community for many years. One of Albert's daughter is also a Rabbi and wrote the sermon for the Shabbat Morning Service, which Rabbi Benji read out, as Ariel couldn't be present on the day.

Rabbi Thomas' words - Shabbat Morning service 14th October
In addition to Rabbi Benji's sermon, our Emeritus Rabbi Thomas also shared during our Shabbat Morning Service. He spoke about Hope that whilst we live in difficult times we will overcome as we have been here sadly before. The Jewish people and Judaism can and will survive and must have Hope and think of the past too and look to the future.

Valery Rees' Sermon - Shabbat Morning Service, 1st January
The connection cut off Valery in the beginning, this is what she said: As today is the first of January, perhaps you are expecting an exhortation to new beginnings or new year resolutions. But I would like to use this time to look at some of the questions raised by [this week’s Torah portions and haftarah].
