‘Next Year in Jerusalem.This Year in...’
From the Editor... S
o many things are familiar about visiting one’s childhood home. The upholstery, a cornflower pattern CorningWare casserole dish, the hum of the fridge, morning light through now-faded bedroom curtains, the rosewood and fresh laundry scent of my mother’s bedroom, the sound of the daily train horn which I used to think was a cow in the distance. So many things are unrecognisable about visiting one’s childhood home. The glass doors now shielded by wide, hanging vertical blinds, noisy weekly visits from the Mow, Blow, and Go gardeners, the faint whiff of hand-sanitiser around the house, a grab rail in the shower, and the adult I now am, with my own sense of agency. Visiting New York is never quite a holiday but is always filled with a hybrid combination of family, friends, and emotions. Add a Jewish festival into the mix and existing family dynamics become even more…interesting. I was grateful for the opportunity to return to my childhood home this Pesach after being away from New York for the holiday for three years, due to Covid. It was wonderful spending time with my 19-year-old nephew who is on his gap year now, racing to win nightly midnight Wordle with my mother, eating traditional Sephardi bumuelos and rich, dark brown eggs for Passover that my sister boils in coffee grinds Cover: BM class helpers at FPS communal seder wearing personalised T shirts custom-made by Josie Kinchin, from left: Etan, George, Cordelia, Sam and Shira.

and purple onion skin for hours, spending memorable times with my BFFs, drinking mojitos under a Covid shelter in the Village, and cruising along the inlets of Long Island’s North Shore, gawking at obscenely colossal palazzos. In many ways, time stands still and I’m 17 again and then, I feel a twinge in my spine and I’m hurled back to my present, middle-aged self who is just along for a visit. In this month’s Shofar, we read about a number of FPS events happening in May and others’ joyous ventures out into the world, as we retreat from a confined, travel-free time to a renewed and expansive one. Whilst the virus has not completely disappeared, we can now travel again more confidently without the same sort of restrictions that were in place for the past two years. Whether or not you’ve left this verdant little isle yet, wishing safe and happy trails to you…

From the Rabbi M
onica our editor, Zoe and Pauline chose trips and journeys for this month’s Shofar and truly, travel and the discovery it yields is unbeatable when we can do it. At the end of March, we took the train to Paris for a few days. Determined to skip the queues at the Louvre and Musée D’Orsay, we chose to visit people’s homes Delacroix’s and Musée Nissim de Camondo. I learned of the Camondo family when reading Edmund de Waal’s The Hare with Amber Eyes. While the amber-eyed hare told the story of the Ephrussi of Odessa, a Russian Jewish family, it offered many parallels with the Sephardic Camondo family who come from Venice and Istanbul. Along with the Rothschilds, both of these families led banking in critical cities in Europe, becoming essential to the industrial growth of 19th century Europe, thus becoming quintessential assimilationists. And so we made the pilgrimage out to the far edge of the 8th Arrondissement to the mansion of Nissim Camondo. Named after Moise Camondo’s father and son, the museum is a legacy in the neighbourhood of La Plaine Monceau, a leafy, safe suburb that grew Paris from its centre, loosely translated as ‘The Hilly Field’ next to the Parc Monceau. Living on the Rue de Monceau, a street where ‘Jewish money was a key denominator’, members of the Ephrussi and Camondo families found themselves amongst the Jewish aristocracy of nineteenth-century Paris. The house was razed to the ground and rebuilt in the early 1930s in the style of Louis XIV, along with many others, and became an icon of privilege, beauty, and French aristocratic living. The decorative art in each room is listed for its finery, alongside the siddurim resting on bookshelves.

And so we pieced together a life, as we strolled through the living rooms with their turquoise couches and huge cupboards of Spode porcelain next to the working kitchen. But despite their lives, the opulence of their home left no protecting legacy for his daughter. Béatrice, like most other French Jews, ended up in Auschwitz with her husband and children; their prominence, palace, or position offering no protection whatsoever. The idea of protection and its failure were gripping for us in that house, as we reflected on Jewish assimilation and integration in the countries round the world. Edmund de Wahl, long drawn to this family, was the artist in residence, creating the first exhibition by a living artist since the museum opened. His ‘letters’ to Camondo, along with the porcelain he made for the house formed a conversation with Moise Camondo and his life. They are published in a book. One extract we found that could have been written now, were it not for the date, illustrates that stories are everything - the beating heart of history - and we encountered them in their most vivid form in Paris… ‘Your Jewishness is so discreet. It is 1933. Fanny has her bat mitzvah at the Temple Buffat. You give a sizeable donation for the Goncourt exhibition that is being curated. The Goncourts were vile about your family, but they are forgiven...Your generosity is applauded.’

From the Chair ‘Al
lshlosha d’varim,’ we sing. The world stands on three things – on Torah, on worship, and on acts of loving kindness. I often try to give an idea of what Council does, but this month I wanted to talk about the work of one particular member of Council. Since she joined Council two years ago, Beverley Kafka has taken responsibility for overseeing community care and welfare and she has done a really amazing job. Quietly effective, Beverley has become the embodiment and the agent of gemilut chasadim at FPS. I know many of you reading this will have been touched by her thoughtful and practical acts of kindness and care, as I have been. During lockdown, Beverley provided muchneeded warm and personal outreach and support for members. She created a team to prepare and deliver care packages to members. That team has now completed a full year’s cycle and is well into its second year. In their first year, they delivered 105 gift bags over five festivals as a thank you to members giving their time to the shul, and to say hello to older members, new members, or members in need of a treat. Building from the online Monday afternoon Zoom meet-ups that she held during lockdown, she has worked with the indomitable and irrepressible Barbara Shulman to re-establish the Monday Afternoon Club. Barbara has really taken the lead on this and has arranged lots of activities and entertainment, making the most of our ability to meet in person again. Beverley was part of a national team from both Liberal and Reform Judaism to develop

training for people providing community care and support for wellbeing in their communities. The Honeycomb project has now completed its first training for volunteers and the feedback has been very positive. Please do look out for further training opportunities with the Honeycomb project. Beverley is often the first to know if someone has a concern about the welfare of a member. She has recently reviewed and updated our adult safeguarding policy, reflecting what she’s learned through the training she has attended. Rabbi Rebecca is our adult safeguarding lead. Personal visits were not possible for a long time because of Covid, but Beverley is coordinating volunteers to make phone calls and personal visits and to arrange lifts to services for those who need them. These personal expressions of kindness and care mean so much to those who receive them. I wanted to take this opportunity to thank Beverley and all of the volunteers who work with and support her. They strengthen and support the relationships, which are the foundation of life of the community, and their kindness and generosity enriches us all.
From Zoe ‘Next year in Jerusalem’ we all read at seder – a promise of something better, or maybe even some place better? As a nation, a world maybe, we have not had that opportunity for a while. Stuck first in our own houses, and for much longer in our own country, we have had to make do with our local surroundings. During lockdown, home improvement became a booming business. Suddenly confined to our abodes, we decided to invest in these safe spaces. Since returning to the synagogue, the same thing has been happening. Our General Purposes Committee continues to make the synagogue more beautiful, practical, and purposeful. Their next project is the kitchen! Every aspect of the synagogue needs a little TLC. From the silverware, to the staff, to the classrooms, and even to the bins, it turns out! Our own Ann Andrews says ‘So often, we will happily recycle if it is easy, but often when we have something to throw out and we don’t know what to do with it, it just goes to landfill. I started looking at the recycling symbols on packaging to see if I could recycle more. I found the recycling symbols were really easy to understand (a surprise!) However, one thing that made no sense was ‘Terracycle’ written on crisp packets. At about the same time, I saw an email from NNLS saying it was a Terracycle site and I wondered if our synagogue could join in. I raised the idea and it has been taken forward by others, who are good at making things happen. It turns out Terracycle goes way beyond crisp packets!’
zoe jacobs
Terracycle is a company who offer recycling for common, but usually nonrecyclable items. To begin with, we’ve signed up for three areas: pens, tablet blister packs, and crisp packets. So, for the first time, we’d love you to bring your rubbish to the synagogue! You’ll find the labelled receptacles in the entrance hall. While some of us are just beginning to venture abroad again, refugees from Ukraine have no choice in the matter. Covid caution becomes a lesser priority when there is such imminent and concrete danger. The offer to help, both as hosts and wider support from FPS and other Barnet institutions has been incredible. We are the first borough working with Citizens UK to meet that critical offer of 50 spaces. Leading us in this charge is our own Chair, Tamara. I wanted to acknowledge how much she has done – on top of her usual responsibilities – to push this forward, holding those volunteering, and building a team around her. She is extraordinary and I am in awe! When in 2017 fifty Syrian refugees came to Barnet, I don’t think we expected to become such close friends with so many. Nisrin catered (deliciously!) the Barnet Citizens Assembly Iftar on 27 April. I hope we will soon say the same for our future Ukrainian neighbours. We say ‘Next year in Jerusalem’, they say ‘Next month in Barnet’. Let’s hope we can rise to that challenge.

Board of Deputies Report l
began this report following the plenary session on 20 February, the Sunday before Russia actively started their invasion of Ukraine, which wasn’t then a topic of discussion at the plenary. The session was concerned with the usual day to day business of the Board and its 5 divisions and all its working parties. Edwin Shuker, a former Vice President of the Board, was elected to replace Gary Mond as a member of the executive and Vice President and will chair the Communities Division. The Board were invited to make submissions to Ofcom of its complaint of biased reporting by the BBC. The Archbishop of Canterbury has set up a working group to promote a ‘deeper connection’ between the Jewish and Christian communities in Israel. We discussed the recent visit from Israel and public objection by the Board to Mr Bezalel Smotrich MK, who holds extreme and abhorrent views, the continued anti-Semitism on campus, and Stephen Bush who chaired and published the commissioned BOD report on racial inclusivity and his plans to embed its recommendations within our community. I shall be discussing this on behalf of our FPS racial inclusivity group and with Edwin Shuker, shortly. Laurence Rosenberg addressed the plenary, calling for twinning of bar and bat mitzvahs with child victims of the Holocaust, to enable remembrance of the 1.5 million murdered Jewish children and to serve as their voices. Please visit: www.yadvashem.co.uk The President reported on the wonderful experience she had when she and the new CEO of the Board, Michael Wegier, met the Pope. She reported that they were warmly greeted in friendship. The Family Law Group (FLG) was addressed 6
janet tresman
by Human Rights lawyer Adam Wagner on implications of the Human Rights Act’s proposed reform by a Bill of Rights. We considered the potential of unintended consequences and hate speech by proposals on freedom of speech, which may also lead to a challenge of the IHRA definition of anti-Semitism, amongst other concerns. The FLG will send a draft brief response to the Executive of the Board on the basis of religious freedoms. Four days later, Ukraine was invaded and since then, the Board has stood by the people of Ukraine, taking part in many joint events with other leading Jewish groups through public discussions, fundraising, and organising supplies to help the Ukrainians. The Board’s statements have publicly deplored the invasion, the terrible destruction and murder - particularly of children and the elderly, the attempted bombing of the Babi Yar memorial, and the continued bombardment during the last 6 weeks. We held a joint Zoom, addressed by the CEO of World Jewish Relief (WJR), our very own Paul Anticoni. WJR is actively involved on the ground, attempting to rescue and support Ukranians. They request money donations rather than supplies, as they are easier to manage without sorting through and transporting what are now warehouses full of donated goods. At the last plenary on 20 March, we were privileged to be addressed on Zoom by the UK ambassador to Ukraine, H E Melinda Simmons, a member of Finchley Reform Synagogue. She was ordered to leave Ukraine following two missile strikes either side of the city where she was taking refuge. She was evacuated to the Polish border where she continued to support Continued on page.7

Beit Midrash rosh chodesh group

the women in black
Those who met for April’s Rosh Chodesh Group were lucky to hear an account of the ‘Women in Black’ - the group of Israeli peace activists founded in 1988. They originally met in response to the first Intifada to highlight the reality of the lives of women and children in the occupied territories. While their activities diversified, forming links with peace dialogue groups and working with other women’s groups for peace, a diminished group can still be found standing in silence for an hour with their banner or placard every Friday lunch time in Jerusalem. They have influenced the foundation of ‘Women in Black’ groups around the world, as well as sparking further women’s

political groupings in Israel. Irris read the paper submitted by her granddaughter Ella Albert-Wade for her university course, which had been shaped by her interest in the badge that Irris keeps at home. The meeting was enhanced by the contributions of Ruti Elraz, one of the original ‘Women In Black’ activists, Ruti’s daughter Danya, and Ella herself. The next Rosh Chodesh meeting will be in person in the synagogue on Tuesday, 3 May at 8.00pm, where we will be hands on and creative in clay. Come and join us! Andrea Narcin

High Holy Days’ Charities T
wo years ago, we decided to change the way we engaged with our High Holy Days’ charities. We wanted to make meaningful relationships between the community and each charity, led by Community Ambassadors. And what a success it has been! We are delighted to have given to, and learnt from, Jewish Women’s Aid and Food Bank Aid: North London. We owe a lot to Andrea Collett, Peggy Sherwood, Alison Rees, and Margot Katz for their dedication and enthusiasm. We will continue to support the New Israel Fund, championed by Abigail Dolan, for a further year. So, we are ready to look for our local nonJewish and Jewish charities for this coming New Year. Our current charities can reapply, but we also welcome new folk, too! So, if you are passionate about a charity and think FPS might be able to make a difference, please do think of nominating it! We’ve found that it’s best to have a group of Community Ambassadors, so find a few members who want to join the team. As last time, we’ll have a Café Ivriah, where each group will present their charity. Show how you hope to develop the relationship between the charity and synagogue, examples of events across the year that could enable the congregation to learn and get involved in the charity, linked with the Jewish calendar and festivals. We are reinstating our previous criteria that we will have one Israel charity, one local or UK Jewish charity, and one local nonJewish charity.

zoe jacobs
What we are looking for: Essential: 1. We can build a relationship with the charity. 2. The charity has a team of two or more Community Ambassadors who will advocate for it and help to build a relationship between the charity and the community. 3. We can connect the charity to our liturgy, festivals, and Jewish values – e.g. by making it the focus of a service during a festival. 4. Members can have a direct personal experience of the charity (including, for at least one charity, a relationship with young people/children) - e.g. by volunteering for or visiting the charity or having a representative come to the synagogue to speak to us. 5. Our relationship with the charity will have an impact both on the charity and on our FPS community. Desirable 1. The charity is linked to the issues that we are working on already - e.g. food poverty, refugees, environmental issues, mental health, racial justice, clean air, inclusion. 2. We can donate money and something else – e.g. volunteer time, space in the synagogue.
Gap Year in South America Last year, the thought of going to university and moving a whole two hour drive away from my family filled me with intense dread. The eventual decision to take a gap year felt like a huge weight off my shoulders. I wouldn’t have to leave home and all the scary being-alone-and-making-new-friends stuff was postponed for 12 long, stress-free months. Naturally, the next decision I made was to go on a three-month trip across the world instead! The first six weeks of the trip I took with two friends was in Colombia. We flew to Bogotá and followed an anti-clockwise route up to the North coast and back down again. Colombia is the most beautiful, most diverse country I’ve ever seen. We went from huge cities, to deep canyons, to tiny rural towns - to white sand beaches, to towering mountains, to thick forests. We went horse riding in the mountains, we went to parties on the beach, and we even went paragliding! We also did the Lost City trek just outside of Santa Marta - a five-day hike (60 km there and back) through the forest to see the ruins of an ancient indigenous city at the top of a mountain. One of the most incredible, but definitely the hardest thing I’ve ever done. After Colombia, we flew to Lima to start our month in Peru with three more friends. We went from Lima to Pisco (lots of Pisco Sours downed in Pisco!) and then to Huacachina, an oasis in the middle of the desert. After sandboarding and genuinely terrifying rides on dune buggies, we got a fifteen-hour bus to Cusco - stopping to see the Nazca lines on the way - and finally got
ruby reich
to go to Machu Picchu, which is just as beautiful as everyone says. After Machu Picchu, we got another very long, incredibly uncomfortable bus, headed south to Lake Titicaca, where we had a tour of the floating islands in the lake and met the families that live there. A lot of stress and an incredibly expensive PCR later, we managed to cross the border into Bolivia. We started in La Paz and made our way to Sucre - where I am now! Two weeks today, I’ll be back in London, but we still have A LOT planned. Tomorrow morning, we’re crossing the border into Argentina and heading to Salta in the North. After that, it’s three sixteen-hour buses in a row to eventually get us to Buenos Aires, where we have a fancy steak dinner and tango show waiting for us! I’ve had the most amazing time travelling with my friends, seeing parts of the world that I didn’t even know existed and experiencing cultures and ways of life that are so different to my own. I even feel very slightly less sick at the prospect of university now!

Honeymoon in Paris Yes, we went to Paris for our honeymoon – and yes, it’s a cliché for a reason.
Two days after a beautiful wedding in the far-off lands of Kent, Louise and I groggily boarded a Eurostar and exited in a gorgeous, elegant, constantly interesting city, containing incredible, life-affirming food. The kind of food that makes you wonder why everywhere isn’t France, why we don’t all live in a city with toptier patisseries and bakeries on every corner, with more than 100 (often reasonably priced) Michelin star restaurants where cheese, meat, fish, and wine are elevated to art forms. It’s as if one day, a Parisian suggested that maybe, just maybe, all food should be delicious, and everyone else was just like, ‘Sure, why not.’

We didn’t visit the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, or the Pompidou Centre, but we did roam along the Seine, check in on Notre Dame, and descend underground to the endlessly creepy, fascinating Catacombs, with its millions of skulls and ways of thinking about death. We also used one of our rainbow wedding umbrellas to protect us from hail in the quietly gorgeous Luxembourg Gardens, walked through the vibrant Latin Quarter in weak spring sunshine, and stayed inside and binged on Netflix when the snow fell all day. Spring honeymoons in Europe are risky if you value hot, sunny weather above all, but I don’t regret a thing. It was glorious. And what a delight to be abroad after more than two years - to hear a foreign language and struggle to communicate in it, to see and experience new things in a new place it was a true privilege.
toby wayne bar mitzvah 14 may
Hi, my name is Toby. On my bar mitzvah I will be leyning Parashat Vayikra (Leviticus 25) which tells the story of how rest is important for both land and people. In particular, the portion refers to what happens on Jubilees (every 50 years) and Shmitas (every 7 years) and how this has impacted and shaped society. From understanding the portion, I have become interested in the importance of rest - both physical and mental, which is vital for the
development of the human body. I attend Highgate School and particularly enjoy maths and physics. Outside of school, I play the piano and cello and have achieved a brown belt in Karate. I am excited for my Bar Mitzvah, as it is an important step in my life and it means a lot to my family. I would like to thank FPS for all their kind support through this Bar Mitzvah journey, especially Zoe in Ivriah, John for his inspirational teaching methods, and Rabbi Rebecca for helping me gain deeper insight into the portion.
