PASSOVER & LATEST NEWS
It’s been a long time updating I know – apologies for that, but since retiring from teaching full time, it’s been busier than ever!!
Our first seder night for Pesach is on Monday 25th March (very early this year!) and once again will take place at Trelissick Gardens near Truro, so if you haven’t booked up yet with Ann Hearle please do so as soon as possible as cthese occasions are always very popular. Members can attend for £15 and for non-members the price is £30 per person. For this you get the service, all the appropriate foods, the main meal and kosher wine. We look forward to welcoming everyone on the night which starts at 6.30pm.

Pesach 2011
This year’s Passover at Trelissick Gardens(Monday 18th April), was a splendid success with 75 members and guests in attendance. Representatives from the Interfaith Council and Truro Baptist Church joined Kehillat Kernow to observe and to remember the Exodus from Egypt. Food was prepared by members and the sumptuous seder which came in between the traditional reading of the Hagaddah added to the joy of the evening. The Cheder childrens’ rendition of the ‘Mah Nishtanah’ was perfect.
Fiddler on the Roof Event
In January, thirty-five members of Kehillat Kernow attended a private viewing and sing-along of the film Fiddler on the Roof at the Phoenix Theatre in Falmouth. Some came in the dress of the Anatevya period in keeping with the Shetl atmosphere of the film; everyone passed the popcorn and sang the familiar tunes. Nostalgia reigned.
Yom Ha-Shoah Service
On the 27th of January, a memorial service conducted by Louise Garcia, KK member, to remember the six million Jews who were murdered in the holocaust, took place.
Members of the community attended to say prayers and honour those who died. In addition, a talk at a local school (St. Ives) was given and KK members attended the Civic Service which took place in Truro on that day.
Plaque and Menorah Dedication by Mousehole Evacuees
On May 11th and 12th evacuees from the Jewish Free School during World War II who were taken in by Mousehole residents, held dedication ceremonies to remember and to honour the time spent in Cornwall when they were children. A menorah and a memorial bench with accompanying plaque now marks the important contribution made by local residents to Jewish children during the evacuation period and also highlight an important aspect of local Jewish history.

This is really rather a late piece of news and I apologise profusely for not having submitted this or indeed, any other recent news!
First, congratulations to Louise Garcia who led the communal seder this year at Trelissick ably supported, I believe, by Julie Stone, Adam Feldman and Iain Brown. I was unable to attend myself as I am still recovering from my recent illness, but I am now well on the mend and hope to be at the next Shabbat service which will be in our new venue in Blackwater. This new venue is very pleasant and provides us with plenty of room as well as plenty of parking.
More congratulations to Louise as she has been selected as one of the teachers accompanying a small group of children making a day visit to Auschwitz. I imagine it will be quite a testing time for all those on the trip. I understand that Donna Birrell of BBC Radio Cornwall will be doing a programme on the visit so listen out for that.
We also have a joint visit from Elkan & Celia Levy together with David & hannah Jacobs early in July and a venue for this has been arranged by our social secretary, Jacquie Ricketts so I hope you will all make every effort to attend this important function.
Good Yomtov to everyone wherever you may be. |

Congratulations to Louise Garcia who wrote, produced and directed the all singing, all dancing, all acting 'The Mischling', a musical play inspired by Leisl Munden and centred round a young girl living in Germany in 1938 whose father arranges for her to leave Germany on the Kindertransport.
I saw the final performance of the World premiere of the play on Wednesday 27th June at The Burrell Theatre in Truro (Truro School) and was really moved at the wonderful performances of children whose ages ranged from 6 up to 15. The play, the music, the singing and the dancing were all fantastic and there is talk of Louise taking the production up to Leeds (with her Head Teacher's backing) for the Jewish festival at some time in the future.
I hope that in due course we will be able to show some of the photos from the production either here on the website or in the newsletter. |
