US SHABBAT - 2nd December 2000
In conjunction with every other community of the United Synagogue,
Central Synagogue held a special Shabbat Service focusing on the themes
and beauty of Shabbat. The Chief Rabbi, Professor Jonathan Sacks
delivered a most stirring sermon. The service was followed by a Shabbaton
lunch in our banqueting hall attended by 105 members and guests. There,
Mrs Elaine Sacks gave a most eloquent and enjoyable address. The title of
the Shabbat was that "Shabbat turns strangers into friends". Everyone
left feeling they had made new friends.
