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.

    • yes that's the one!  it was (nearly) harmless fun to get the un-initiated to put the coin in for you i also seem to remember that the Hanway Street place was called Govinda's.  it was vegetarian, vegan even - but it was much more palatable fare than the standard Hare Krishna stuff.  I also used to go tot he Indian Y - which I remmber discussing on the EDF some eyars ago.  And then the first Wagamama opened off Russell Street
    • Sometime in the mid 80s, the first incarnation was on Peckham Rye near the new old Tesco’s
    • Off topic (ish) but does anyone else remember when Blue Mountain opened? They had chocolate coated coffee beans and a range of coffee beans sold loose, and I can't remember whether it was freshly baked  bread or rolls or croissants or  something else, but my then partner used to go and buy it/them in the morning. And behind the part with the counter, it was divided into several little rooms, all different colours and styles. There was another room upstairs, though I can't remember if that was open from the beginning  It was great. It went through many incarnations after that, before eventually sadly closing, but I liked the first one best. Also off topic (ish) there was a Greek? Turkish? deli opposite. My then partner bought some yoghurt there once, and when he got it home he found it was months (I think) past its sell by date. He took it back. The guy in the shop opened it up, looked at it, sniffed it and said "There's nothing wrong with that." 😂
    • However, some would particularly like to avoid reviews of the 'there are far too many mice'; 'the cakes are deteriorating badly' nature. If you consider that a 'Negative Nelly' response. My experience was that the hot drinks and the varieties of e.g. teas on offer, were generally a positive element. As were the staff serving.
