We, on the Ladies Guild welcome you amongst us and do hope that you will enjoy living in this active and happy Community.
The Ladies Guild Committee consists of 25 elected ladies, quite a large committee, but quite necessary when we work on a rota basis for various activities. This rota of ladies visits patients in Hospital if information is given by the family. Because of data protection we cannot just walk in.
We prepare a basic Kiddush weekly throughout the year and, when specially requested, celebration Kiddush are made for Barmitzvah, Bat Chayel, Anniversaries, Auf' Ruf, etc. They are lavish and beautifully presented.
Prior to the High Festivals we clean the silver. On Shavuot we dress the Synagogue with flowers, and on Succot we dress the Succot with fruit. On Simchat Torah our ladies prepare a super brunch for the whole community.
Help is also provided for members when required and this includes allowing Jewish folk to enjoy a day out with all food provided at the Day Centre in Cobham Road.
We hold coffee mornings from time to time to enable us to provide welfare, including the delivery of Pesach food parcels to needy families and, at Chanukah we arrange a tea party and entertainment for Kosher Meals on Wheels recipients, together with Guests from the Day Centre.
Our financial commitments are quite heavy and we depend entirely on donations and membership subscriptions to carry on our work. This is where you can help. Our annual subscription is only £7 a year and we would like every lady in the Congregation to be a member of the Guild. We will do the work - you just help us financially by contributing this modest sum.
