Do you have a son or daughter reaching their 21st birthday shortly? At this age they cease being covered by your family membership. If therefore you would care to contact me in the office I would be pleased to advise you of our special membership rates for students. Also members up to the age of 29 pay only £7.00 a year burial fee in addition to the low membership fee. I look forward to hearing from you.

Yahrzeit Notices &
Mmeorial Plaques

Would members please return Yahrzeit forms by the date shown on the reply slip as we cannot otherwise ensure that the deceased's name will be read out on the appropriate Shabbat.

Letters are sent out well in advance so it will be appreciated if the reply slip could be returned promptly.

Members may also not be aware that we have a Memorial Board commemorating the Yahrzeits for loved ones in the foyer of the shul. We are now accepting names for insertion on the board whereafter on the anniversary of the Yahrzeit a light next to the name will be illuminated for the whole of that month.

If you would like to be included in this lifetime memoriam to your departed, please telephone me and I will be happy to discuss the details and the cost involved.
