This week's parsha reads like 'Architecture Today' magazine, with vivid descriptions of the building of the Mishkan. Using all the latest biodegradeable and environmentally friendly materials, such as animal skins (organic, free range) and goat hair (cruelty free shearing), this building was a masterwork of design such that even the Judge from Up Above was happy to relocate, saying "I shall dwell amidst them".
Join us tonight at 6.30pm for a joyous Kabbalat Shabbat, and on Shabbat morning at 9.30am please join us promptly for Shacharit.

Yishar Koach – Thank you to our Tikkun Committee, and particularly to Elisheva and Pebby, and The Classic, for their hard work in arranging the Footnote movie night. We had a huge turnout and had a great response to the film, whilst raising money for Jewish Aid Australia.
