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.

      The Mansion Tax

      This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!

      I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices.

      How late is your Christmas Card

      By Cancerian · Posted

      Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
