Chanukah Party For The Whole Community

Written by Suzanne Stolberg Saturday, 07 December 2013 19:31

Our wonderful Ladies Guild organised a communal Chanukah party in the shul hall, which was attended by over 200 people, young and old.

Entertainment for the children included face painting face painting and a family disco. Everyone had a great evening, especially with the delicious supper served and of course the traditional doughnuts!

Mitzvah Day Is A Huge Success!

Members of Yeshurun showed that they are happy to roll up their sleeves and help make the wider community in which we live a better place, with a large number of successful activities taking place yesterday.

These included:

* Over 100 new toys and books being donated from the shul members which were donated to the Willow Bank Housing Trust in Benchill

* A great bake-off resulting in a huge supply of cakes and tasty treats, which were delivered to Ashbourne Care House in Gatley, the Seashell Trust in Heald Green and St Anne's Hospice.

*A litter pick to ensure our streets are clean and tidy

* A visit to Allingham House, where the elderley residents were entertained with music and treated to massage and manicures.

* 40 crates of food collected from Sainsburys and delivered to the Wellspring Homeless Centre and the Cheadle Food Bank in Adswood.

Well done to everyone who organised these events and took part in them too - you each showed the true spirit of Mitzvah Day!

Rememberance Sunday

There was a strong mixture of both young and old last Sunday when members of the 5th Gatley Brownies (Yeshurun's own Brownie pack) attended the Rememberance Sunday march and service at Cheadle War Memorial, along with war veterans and members of the shul community.

Afterwards we held a brunch for the youth members back at the shul - pictured are some of those who attended.

Showtime At Yeshurun

It's not often that a shul can introduce a sell-out social event with the words "Direct from Las Vegas..." but last week nearly 200 Yeshurun members and guests were thrilled to spend the evening being entertained by their very own Martin Kaye.

The songwriter, pianist, singer and all-round showman kept everyone entertained with a broad range of musical delights, from his own creations to much-loved songs from musicals and popular tunes.

Currently performing as Jerry Lee Lewis in 'Million Dollar Quartet' in Vegas, Martin was back in the Uk for just a week and was delighted to have the opportunity to put on a show for his home community.

Our Fond Farewell

Rabbi Chaim Kanterovitz and his wife Bianca were presented with a personalised glass challah board and cloth, wine tray and glasses at a special kiddush last month as our Yeshurun community gathered to wish them well as they prepare to move to a new position in London in October.

Shul Chairman Tony Kaye, together with joint Vice Chairs Andrea Cohen and Gail Taylor, presented the gifts as a token of thanks for the work they have done in their 10 years as Rabbi and Rebbetzen at Yeshurun.
