    14:00-16:30

    On Thursday afternoons we offer friendly Rubber Bridge, which runs from 14:00 – 16:30.  Everyone is welcome, with or without a partner.  We aim to place players with other people of a similar standard, so if it is your first time, please come a little earlier so that we know where to place you.

    Tea and biscuits are served mid-way through the session.  Play is not supervised, although sometimes our organisers are available to give limited advice.

    The cost is £3 for Alyth members and £4 for non-members with any profits go to synagogue funds.  For further information please telephone either Sheila or Michael on 020 8455 9878.

    Many Waters Cannot Quench Love - Or Can They?

    20:00 – 22:00

    In the Book of Numbers, we read about a trial by ordeal for a woman whose husband suspects her of adultery. The rabbis of the Mishnah and Talmud dedicate an entire tractate to discuss this ritual. Through their conversation, we discover a window into rabbinic understandings of timeless issues, namely: jealousy, justice, and societal change.

    In this session, we will engage with key texts which shed light on an ancient ritual and contemporary concerns.

    With Rabbi Dr Lisa Grushcow.
