So, when I lived in North London, I always thought that when I had children, they'd go to my synagogue's drop in sessions/playgroups. All good, excellent idea. The problem is, I live in Camberwell now and I seem to be the only Jew in the village. We're not part of a synagogue yet, I believe Catford and Streatham are the nearest ones but is there ANY Jewish activities or groups or...ANYTHING in the area? I can't immerse Baby Baldock in Jewish culture on my anecdotes alone :(

I think you will have to bite the bullet and pop into Streatham where there are at lest 2 synagogues. I am guessing you did not have a boy as I am sure you would have had to see a rabbi by now!! I think the one at the brixton end of Streatham had an open day last year so I am guessing they are very welcoming.

Perhaps we're the only 2 in the village? I still haven't sorted out a synagogue either. I suppose I can get to Streatham on the P4. Will have to bite the bullet and just do it one of these days. Of course, that means I have to go to synagogue too!


L'Shannah Tova! Happy New Year Ruth!

My lovely Mum has sent me a Rosh Hashana survival pack, all the way from Carmelli's deli in Temple Fortune ;) I saw the challot last year, and was also pleased to find that I no longer have to search all over Southwark for a yartzheit candle- they were there in the Kosher aisle :D

There's a synagogue with a good Thursday morning playgroup in the Putney area, you could get there on the 37 but I guess it's almost as far as going north of the river. They also do a nursery from age 2.5. If it's not too far give me a shout and I can give you the details.

      Has anyone had any joy contacting Helen Hayes out MP?

      By ianr · Posted

      The Commons Public Accounts Committee questioned both the CEO and MD of Capita yesterday, at their last meeting before the recess:  https://committees.parliament.uk/event/25889/formal-meeting-oral-evidence-session/.  In October they'd already expressed concern that Capita might not  be able to efficiently retake over responsibility for the administration within the timescale. Given the joint statement recently issued by Capita and the Cabinet Office I'm not sure that contacting an MP is going to add much, other than venting what I think most of us can probably appreciate of what those affected are likely  to be thinking and feeling; unless perhaps, and I hope it's not needed, to report on deficiencies in the immediate rescue actions.

      She's responded, but I'm sure I read something in the Guardian consumer advice column. Might be some pointers if you're stuck

      The going home for the weekend song thread...come on you groovey foookers

      Two for Ratcliffe, the obvious one:   And one simply because it has the word  "You are nothing but blind fascists" in it.  Oh and a good song too.   Haven't listened to this for years.  Bloody good!

      Calling all you London Reds (Manchester United)

      By malumbu · Posted

      It's time to ditch your team, otherwise you could be seen to supporting your owners dog whistle comments (aka racist). Fortunately you can support a local team, I understand that Palace have pretty right on fans, and you have Dulwich Hamlet and Peckham Town too. If you genuinely are from the North West then Everton fans are well rated for their politics (ignore the paving over paradise/loss of UNESCO world heritage status), and of course FC United of Manchester. Salford Town not a bad bet either. For those who are glory hunters dare I say over the river in the North London library aka Emirates (shame they don't rhyme) you have both the likelihood of a title this season and a very multicultural fan base. If you want to be really cool the Welsh speaking team Club Cymric, Forest Green Rovers, or AS Livorno in Italy, an anti-fascist team
