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!

*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.

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