Shabbat Lech Lecha @ Bet David

Dear Congregants and Friends,

Last Shabbat was amazing – we celebrated a wonderful Adult Bat Mitzvah with Fiona Capstick and the victory of the South African rugby team in Japan was sensational. May the year continue this way. 😊

This Saturday, our Shabbat Talks resume with a talk by Rabbi Schell, looking at Germany today, 30 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall (after the brocha at 11h45 for 12h00).

Please join us for the uplifting Yoga Minyan at Bet David on Saturday morning at 10:30am, taking place parallel to the service in the shul. The session is suitable for beginners, advanced yogi, young and old. It will include Yoga Asanas, breathing, stretching and mediation, led by qualified Yoga teacher Carine Delhaye. Tarren Beyleveld, from the Bet David Choir, will sing to accompany the Yoga and a Drasha by the Chairman of Bet David Desmond Sweke will be given as part of the Yoga session. Dress: Comfortable clothing suitable for Yoga. Please bring a yoga mat, if you have one, and a small blanket
