Shabbat Morning Shiur - Moses and Aaron (09:15)
In Parashat Tzav, Moses formally hands over the reigns of the priesthood to his brother Aaron.

Rabbi Josh on Sabbatical

Rabbi Josh was due to take sabbatical in November 2020 when he reached 12 years at Alyth. This was delayed through 2020 and 2021 due to the demands of the pandemic. As the situation has now improved, he will be taking 4 months of sabbatical this year, in two tranches. His first period of sabbatical will be from Sunday 20 March, returning on Thursday 5 May. We wish him well for this period of rest and study.

SAVE THE DATE
Alyth Iftar - Tuesday 5 April

On Tuesday 5 April, Alyth will be hosting our 9th annual Iftar. We are delighted that we are finally able to be together again in person and will be able to open the doors of our synagogue and welcome friends and neighbours to study, pray and eat together.

From 18:15 – 18:30 we will be gathering with new friends and old. The formal programme will begin at 18:30 with an opening ceremony followed by a choice of sessions in which Jewish and Muslim teachers will explore different aspects of our theme in a more intimate environment for learning and discussion.

We will come together for the call to prayer, finishing in time to share our iftar meal. We are delighted that our iftar meal will once again be provided by the extraordinary caterer and founder of the Aleppo Supper Club, Ahmad, whose food we enjoyed last time we were able to be together.

This year we are also excited to be promoting Thank You Day (www.thankyouday.org.uk). Thank You Day is a day where people are encouraged to rediscover their community spirit through acts of gratitude shown towards volunteers, neighbours and friends. The organisers of Thank You Day are encouraging us all to create moments for faith communities to meet, eat and come together. Our Iftar will be used to showcase what is possible when faith communities come together.
In keeping with this connection, this year our Jewish and Muslim teachers will be looking at the theme of gratitude. You will have a choice of different sessions relating to this theme.
