SHALOM
AND WELCOME
TO THE WESSEX LIBERAL JEWISH GROUP |
|
|
If you are looking for friendly and
inclusive High Holy Day services you have come to the right place.
For 2010 we shall be hosting a full set of
High Holy Day services led by a visiting Liberal rabbi in a local
hotel.
Rosh Hashanah is the evening of Wednesday 8 September
and
the morning of Thursday 9 September and Yom Kippur begins on the
evening of Friday 17 September and finishes on Saturday 18 September
2010.
We are located in Bournemouth and this year's Liberal HHD services will
be the first ever to be held here in the history of Dorset. May these be
the first of many.
For more details check out our Services page. If you wish to attend our HHD services, please, email Jeffrey David Sheaf on hhd@wessexliberaljudaism.org.uk or call him on 01202 757084. |

WHO
ARE WE?
 Following
a
public meeting
in June addressed by Liberal Judaism Chief Executive, Rabbi Danny Rich
the Wessex Liberal Jewish Group is exploring affiliation to Liberal
Judaism, a movement of some 10,000 Jews in 35 communities including in
Edinburgh, Manchester, Dublin, the East and West Midlands, London and
the Home Counties, Essex, Bristol,
Gloucestershire, Brighton and Eastbourne.
Our
Hebrew name is Adat Chaverim, meaning a Community of Friends.
This is precisely what we aim to be: a sincere, egalitarian and
inclusive Jewish community and not just a community of Jews.
Wessex
Liberal Jewish Group welcomes individuals, couples and families who
consider themselves Jewish or wish to explore what 'being Jewish'
means. The Group operates under the auspices of the Rabbinic Conference
of Liberal Judaism.
The Wessex Liberal Jewish Group uses the
Liberal Judaism siddur, Siddur Lev Chadash for services which are led
by our own members or by visiting Liberal rabbis. We usually have two
shabbat services per month, on alternating Friday evenings
(Erev Shabbat) and
Saturday mornings (Shabbat morning). On the weekends of
20/21 August and 29/30 October we shall have an informal Erev Shabbat
service in a member's home and a formal Shabbat morning service at our
usual venue. All four of these will be led by Rabbi Danny
Rich.
In
2009 we organised very successful Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur
services. For their great efforts in doing this we must give thanks to
Michael Zeffertt, Nat Roseman, and David and Myrna Sheaf. There are
also others too numerous to name who also made these days both holy and
joyful. Kol hakavod.
Why not join us for a service or a social? You may be Jewish or
Jew-ish! Send us an email.

Alt-Neu
Synagogue, Prague, Czech Republic. Also known as the Staronova
Synagogue. I find this building and its community a
quietly
inspiring symbol of Jewish renewal against all expectations. |
