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 :(



Ta!

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.

There’s also a step up into Maria’s - much smaller but you need to negotiate the step and door at the same time. Olivelli has more room and if I remember right the toilets are on the ground floor.
