Chag Sameach! Purim is upon us and the community are invited tonight (in costume!) to our kid's Megilla reading and a theatrical Megilla reading with Mark Symons.
Come join the soulfulness at Shira this Shabbat too. We hope to see you there!

Shabbat Shacharit - Saturday 9.45am
This Shabbat morning the drasha will be given by Aaron Zelman. A light kiddush will also follow the service.
Shira Members Survey Update
Thanks to everyone who completed the Shira survey. We had a fantastic response. In the next few weeks, we will be sharing more detail about what members want, what we need to keep doing or change. For now, based on some consistent direct feedback received, we are making some changes to run shira more smoothly.
A Minyan Roster will help to ensure that we always have a minyan promptly on Kabbalat Shabbat and Shabbat morning. We ask members to commit to attending punctually once a month (more would be great) . Click onto the link for the relevant minyan over the next two weeks to register your commitment to attend (punctually).

Simchas and bereavements - Regrettably we don't always know about simchas, illness and bereavements in the community. Please let us know about events in your lives, or in the lives of other members (if you are aware of them). We wish to offer support or share in the joy of Shira congregants. Please send an email with the relevant information to our Administrative Officer, Andrew Schnapp. You can also find Andrew's contact details on the website.
