Manchester Reform Members Enjoy a Weekend Away
Wednesday, 05 October 2011
Families from Manchester Reform Synagogue celebrated the last Shabbat of 5771 by the sea on Holy Island, Anglesey in north Wales.
The traditional Shabbat rituals with morning services and havdalah were mixed with a Saturday night talent show by the younger children and a quiz led by Rick and Karen Michael.
On the next morning teenagers embarked on 'coasteering', scrambling over the rocky coast and jumping into the sea.
Although this is the eighth consecutive annual family weekend away for the community, it is the first in this part of Wales. Previously the event has taken place at Hartington Hall in the Peak District.
This year the event was organised by Adam Jackson, who said: "There was a wonderful community atmosphere, strengthening friendships and family bonds as the congregation look forward to the challenges that the New Year will bring and we were delighted with the turnout with 25 children and their parents taking part in the weekend."
