From the Chair Jo Landy Another Pesach, another lockdown. But, please G-d, as we sit around the Seder table this year, there will be an end in sight and the easing of lockdown will have begun. This past year we have all been doing our best to cope and invent new ways to deal with the strange new world in which we find ourselves. Purim was made special by the thoughtfulness and effort of many people. Thanks to Barry for his Megilla reading and Rochel’s Kahoot quiz. It was fantastic to see so many people on Zoom from Cambridge and beyond. This year has also seen deliveries of mishloach manot to our houses. And for many of us, the shared the experience of a scrumptious Middle Eastern Purim Feast cooked by Faraj’s Kitchen. This was cooked at Rohr House. A big thanks to all those who made everything work. For those of you worried about obtaining Pesach supplies, please remember Derby Stores will bring up things to order and that Midan has started to stock foods too. In addition to this, https://www.justkosher.co.uk and www.sabeny.com will deliver to Cambridge. Other news. Post Shabbat Zoom schmoozes have been a regular feature of this third lockdown. Participants have enjoyed seeing one another in the flesh, albeit on screen. Services were restarted at 3 Thompson’s Lane the Shabbat before Purim. As with last year, if you wish to attend please pre-register at https://www.ctjc.org.uk/shabbat-attendance. Wishing you all פסח שמח.
