We are thrilled to celebrate the batmitzvah of Mikki Clemans this Shabbat. Mazel tov to the parents, Nerada and Miles, and to the whole extended family. It has been a delight to see Mikki and her family in our shule over the years and we are honoured to celebrate this important milestone with her. Miles will be delivering the Dvar Torah this week, and there will be a Kiddush kindly sponsored by the family to follow, to which all are welcome.
Kabbalat Shabbat will be sung at 6pm, and Shacharit commences at 9.45am.
