Shabbat Shiur (09:15-10:15) 
“It was not you who sent me here, but God”: Divine Providence in the story of Joseph.
In this week’s Torah portion, Joseph reveals his identity to his brothers.  He reassures them that he will not take vengeance on them,  stating that when they sold him into slavery, this was part of a grand divine plan.  How does this idea sit with us?   What other aspects of Jewish tradition speak to this idea of Divine Providence?  Join Rabbi Elliott to explore these questions. This session will take place in the synagogue library with windows open, and can also be joined via Zoom.  If coming in person, please make sure you let us know you are coming, and remember to dress appropriately.

Chanukah 5782: Lightings of Return

Chanukah is, at its core, a celebration of return to a place of worship.
The first Chanukah was an opportunity for the Maccabees to mark the festival of Sukkot that they had missed through their exclusion from the Temple. 
This Chanukah, our lightings will be ‘lightings of return’, as we mark our coming back to the Alyth building. 

1st night  - Sunday 28 November
Many Alyth families were unable to be together for Chanukah last year, so will want to gather on this first evening.  There will therefore not be a formal Alyth candle lighting on this evening. If you would like to share this first night Chanukah with another Alyth member, or can host another Alyth member to light with you, please contact Lynette.

2nd night - Monday 29 November (18:30)
A special lighting for those who have been bereaved since March 2020
Bereavement without the ability to say kaddish together in person has been an especially challenging aspect of the pandemic.  We begin our special Chanukah ‘lightings of return’ with an evening especially for those who have lost a loved one in the past 20 months. Beginning at 18:30 with light refreshments.  Followed by a Yizkor service with the Alyth clergy team, including the opportunity to say Kaddish together, leading up to the lighting of the chanukiah.  Yizkor can be joined online.  See below for zoom details.  Click here to let us know you are coming.

A special chanukiah lighting for all those who marked Bar or Bat Mitzvah with Alyth away from our Beit Tefillah
Between March 2020 and October 2021, 70 young people marked becoming Bar or Bat Mitzvah with Alyth away from our bimah.  On this Shabbat Chanukah, we begin our service with a special Chanukiah lighting on the forecourt at 18:15 which will recognise this special group of young people.  All are welcome to join this special moment of reconnection.

Chanukah 5782: Lightings of Return

Chanukah is, at its core, a celebration of return to a place of worship.
The first Chanukah was an opportunity for the Maccabees to mark the festival of Sukkot that they had missed through their exclusion from the Temple. This Chanukah, we will hold a number of special ‘lightings of return’, inviting members to come back to Alyth with others who have shared a similar experience over the last 20 months. 

1st night  - Sunday 28 November
Many Alyth families were unable to be together for Chanukah last year, so will want to gather on this first evening.  There will therefore not be a formal Alyth candle lighting on this evening. If you would like to share this first night Chanukah with another Alyth member, or can host another Alyth member to light with you, please contact Lynette.
