’Sno Joke. Belsize has talent. Apologies for the pun, but I recall sitting in the synagogue on a snowy 5th February while the powers that be (Paul Burger and Allan Morgenthau) discussed whether or not to go ahead with our intended fund-raising concert.

Rabbi's Message July 2012 |
|
Dear Friends,
I am sure that you all feel the same as I—time passes so quickly, it is often impossible to pause and to ask some hard questions as we come to the close of another year. What better time than the quiet of summer to ponder where our lives are going. These are some of the questions on my mind; perhaps they are on your minds as well.

Address at the AGM by retiring Chairman Paul Burger |
|
 Erev tov. As I stand before you this evening, I must confess to a certain sense of pride when considering both the achievements we have made as a community over this past year and indeed over these past three years in which I have had the honour to serve as your Chairman. And I know from the comments and messages from so many of you over the course of this past year, that it is your firm desire to continue to see the community build on this progress and continue to move forward.

Our Belsize Square trip to Krakow and Auschwitz |
|
 Nothing we have learnt about the Holocaust -- all the pictures, footage, personal testimony -- comes close to experiencing the 3D close-up of pure calculated evil. Because it is impossible to express in words the variety of emotions, I won’t try. These are merely my observations and I am certain they are not unique.

Belsize Mini Machane 2012: Come Rain or Shine, We Had Fun |
|
During the weekend of 16 – 18 March we had our traditional star activity of the year, the Belsize Mini Machane (BMM as some of us call it or Youth Weekend Away, as some others do). We spent a wonderful time at the Scout Park, a little pocket of woodland in the middle of North London that is host to that ‘camping feel’ that we enjoy so much.
