Yom Tov Appeal
Each year before Rosh Hashanah, Rabbi Shlomo collects funds for families in North West London. Before Yom Tov several hundred needy families receive food packages or cash vouchers to food and clothes shops. The gifts are delivered anonymously to preserve the dignity of the recipients. The project is run by a group of extraordinary volunteers who collect and distribute tens of thousands of pounds worth of donations. If you would like to participate in this appeal please make out a cheque or charity voucher to South Hampstead Synagogue and mark the envelope 'Rosh Hashanah Appeal'. Alternatively you can drop cash in to the office, transfer direct into our NatWest account, 69894582, 60-10-22 ‘United Synagogue re Sth Hampstead Amenities’ using the reference “RH Appeal” or give it to Rabbi Shlomo.

In this week’s parsha, Moses continues with his farewell speech. As he comes to the tail end, he is encouraging the nation about just how ‘do-able’ Judaism is. The Torah “is not in Heaven so that you should say ‘who shall go up to Heaven and bring it to us so that we can hear it and keep it?’…it is something that is very close to you. It is in your mouth and in your heart so that you can keep it” (Devarim 13:12 & 15).
