COVID-19 CORONAVIRUS UPDATE

Dear Members

​

In March of this year,  Government announcements and guidelines, an emergency meeting of the Synagogue Council was held on at which it was decided to suspend all Synagogue activities.  Accordingly, all shul services cease and Cheder was cancelled until further notice. 

​

From then and for the foreseeable future all Shabbat and Erev Shabbat services will be held via Zoom.  Access to Zoom can be obtained from the Synagogue Administrator. (See under services above).  All committee meetings, including Council meetings and Adult Education sessions , are now also held via Zoom.  All shul hirings and any other activities, including school visits are cancelled.

​

We would like to thank anyone who has already volunteered to help by collecting shopping or prescriptions and would appreciate it if, in these troubled times, more people could volunteer to assist and also to phone and chat to anyone who is isolated or vulnerable in some way.

​

If you are isolated or frail and require assistance, in the case of emergency please telephone Rabbi Becker on 07535 710460 or 01322 865132, if your problem is administrative please either email the administrator at admin@sukkatshalom.me.uk or telephone 020 8530 3345 (answering service which is monitored regularly)

​

I hope that you have not been too inconvenienced by the drastic, but necessary measures taken over the last few months, and I also hope that you all stay healthy.
