Wessex LJC - Meet Rabbi Miri Lawrence
Rabbi Miri joined us in March 2023.
I visit Wessex once a month to lead Erev Shabbat and Shabbat morning services. These are well attended and very lively.
On Erev Shabbat I lead a short service from the Liberal prayer book – Siddur lev Chadash followed by a discussion, often a theme from the Torah portion of that week, but always with a modern interpretation. The discussion is introduced by a member of the congregation, with a taster, such as a fun quiz. Everyone participates and the service and discussion are followed by a shared supper. These evenings are always very social.
On Shabbat morning the service is more traditional, with a sermon and reading or leyning from the Torah. All our services are totally inclusive, with lay participation, and reflections during the sermon are always welcomed. The service is followed by Kiddush and lunch where we enjoy catching up with one another. Please come and join us, we love seeing new people and are a very friendly community.
