Shabbat Island Discs with…..

Music Service led by Rabbi Charley Baginsky, with the KLS Choir.  This month you are invited to bring your favourite Chanukah songs on your phone/iPod/MP3 player, to share as part of our regular Shabbat Island Discs feature, which takes place on the fourth Friday night of each month.

Both members and guests can take a turn at choosing the music. If you’d like a chance, contact Sandra Webber.

This week we are delighted to welcome Rabbi Ofek Meir from the Leo Baeck Education Center in Haifa, one of the charities that we are supporting through our High Holy Days Appeal this year.  Rabbi Meir is taking the opportunity to come to KLS to thank the members for their valuable support.  Please come along and meet Rabbi Meir.

Rabbi Ofek Meir joined the Leo Baeck Education Center in 1989, and worked as a community youth leader at the Leo Baeck Community Center and as Assistant Rabbi at Leo Baeck’s Ohel Avraham Progressive Synagogue. In 1991 he served as the first Shaliach to Liberal Judaism in the United Kingdom where he also attended the Royal College of Music. Rabbi Meir was the founder and the first Director of the Lokey International Academy of Jewish Studies until 2006. He holds a B.A. in Jewish History and Thought from Oranim Teachers’ Seminary of the University of Haifa, an MA in Jewish Education from HUC-JIR New York and a degree in classical guitar from the Royal College of Music in London.

Please bring something to share for kiddush.

Guests are welcome to join us for services at KLS, but please contact the office beforehand.
