NISHMAS YISROEL
To mark the fourth yahrzeit of the late Vice-
President of the Federation, Reb Shlomo Winegarten z”tl,
Family Winegarten is donating a new Sefer Torah to the Beis
Hamedrash Nishmas Yisroel shul in Hendon. The family
would like to invite the entire Federation community to
attend and celebrate this auspicious event, which will take
place i”yh on Sunday 10 May. The date also represents the
first anniversary of BHNY’s move to its new home on Brent
Green. Honorary Officer Moshe Winegarten explained that
the shul was chosen to host the new Sefer Torah as one of
the most recent members of the Federation family. Rabbi
Dovid Tugendhaft shlita, Rov of the shul, together with the
entire kehilla, is delighted to have the opportunity to welcome
the wider Federation community on this occasion, both as
a vote of thanks to the Winegarten family but also to the
organisation for the support it has received since joining as
a Constituent member.
Croydon
a EVENTS
To close the High Holy Days period, Croydon honoured
its Rabbi, Natan Asmoucha and its new Life Warden, Danny
Harris, with Chatan Torah and Chatan Bereishit. Simchat
Torah is always a joyous time in Croydon.
‘OurClub’ continues to flourish. Once a month, lunch and
entertainment is provided for Croydon’s members and their
friends. In November a talk was given by a gentleman from
Israel who had been invited to Croydon for the AJEX parade.
He told the audience of his travels as a child from the Yemen
to eventually live in Israel and of his travels to Egypt to visit
his father’s grave, who had died fighting for the British against
the Nazis.
In December the Deputy Mayor of Croydon visited as part
of the Chanukah celebrations. A meal of salt beef and latkes
was provided and attendees brought their chanukiot to be lit
around the bimah.
