Residential Conference for East Anglia’s Jews

For the first time ever, all the smaller Jewish communities of East Anglia will be joining together at a weekend residential conference. The conference theme will be ‘Israel – 60 Years Young’. It will take place at the comfortable St. Gabriel’s conference centre, close to Bungay on the Norfolk/Suffolk border, over the weekend 12th-14th December.

In December 2007 I attended a really interesting weekend at the annual ECAPS study weekend. I have to say it was such good fun, both stimulating and interesting.

The Friday night Erev Shabbat was special it was led by Student Rabbi Richard Jacobi who also gave us an Oneg on the theme of ‘The lights of Chanukah’ we looked at several readings and broke into small groups while Richard Jacobi circulated playing his guitar we sang many seasonal and Shabbat songs and I went to bed very relaxed and happy.
