Upcoming events

Dear Member & Friends of Central

We are very excited to send this email to you. It contains all the details for the UK Community Shabbaton at Home - Jerusalem edition which is scheduled for this coming weekend.

This is a project of Mizrachi UK and the United Synagogue and it will allow tens of thousands of homes all across the UK to join together both with their communities as well as nationally to celebrate Shabbat in our homes this Shabbat 22/23 May in honour of Yom Yerushalayim.

Once again from Birmingham to Brighton, Sheffield to Stanmore, from Woodside Park to Whitefield we celebrate Shabbat together. We will be launching on Friday at 6:30pm with a special Yom Yerushalayim concert featuring some of the UK’s favourite names in music, as well as addresses from the Chief Rabbi and the Israeli Ambassador.

A total of over 60 communities across the country are participating in this Shabbaton, sending the project into well over 30,000 homes. We will then have Kabbalat Shabbat live from HGSS led by Chazan Avromi Freilich and Rabbi Daniel Friedman.

Watch all this from 6:30pm Friday on Facebook or YourTube.

And then it is over to you – and this is the secret of the Shabbaton at Home! We have created great content for an inspiring 25 hours for you to download and print. You can download an A4 version (23 pages) or an A5 booklet (12 page) version.

We know some of you cannot print at home, so if you would like a printed version please email Chris Jennings and he will arrange one for you to collect from the shul office either today or tomorrow during Deli opening hours (until 6pm today, from 9am to 1pm Friday).

After Shabbat at 10:35pm for the Birmingham, Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester and Sheffield communities, we will be joining Rabbi Marc Levene and Rabbi Andrew Shaw for a memorable havdalah service. Watch on Facebook or YourTube.
