The return of our popular programme of Cheshbon HaNefesh (“accounting for the soul”) in advance of the High Holy Days.
Join us for these brief times of reflection, study and contemplation before each of Alyth’s Shabbat services during Elul. You are welcome to attend every session, or to simply drop in when you wish, and no pre-booking is necessary. We only ask that when you come, you try to join at the start of the session.
This year, we will explore the seven characteristics of a wise person according to Pirkei Avot (Sayings of the Sages) 5:10 and will reflect on how these qualities can be part of our lives in 5778.
18:30-21:30
Join us for a chavurah supper. Everyone is asked to bring a nut free vegetarian or fish main dish, or a dessert. We’ll enjoy each other’s company, celebrating a year of wonderful B’nei Mitzvah.
