In an unprecedented act of co-operation, Radlett & Bushey Reform Synangogue, Radlett United Synagogue and Radlett Lubavitch agreed to erect a communal Menorah outside the Radlett Centre. The low cost, all weather, menorah was of modest dimensions and of environmentally friendly construction. 

During Chanukkah, Rabbis Paul Freedman, David Mitchell, Ariel Abel and Sendy Dubrawsky lit the Menorah, and, despite occasional sub-zero temperatures and snow storms, were joined by a wide and varied range of members from the Jewish and Christian communities who were treated to guitar music, latkes and donuts.

This Term, Zone Out Presents ZoneWork…Got a lot of homework, but want to come to The Zone?  ZoneWork is the answer. Straight after school (4pm), come to ZoneWork, where a qualified teacher will assist with school homework for one hour, before Zone Out starts, at 5.00pm.

The extra cost is £1 and means everyone can get their homework done AND have a great Thursday evening at The Zone.

Zone In is running exactly the same as last term.

Zone Out is our club for years 4-6. It takes place every Thursday at 5.00pm-6.30pm during term time. ZoneWork, the place to get schoolwork done, starts at 4.00pm on Thursdays.

The induction ceremony of Rabbi David Mitchell took place on 13 September at Radlett and Bushey Reform Synagogue. At 29, Rabbi David is one of the youngest ministers in the Movement for Reform Judaism.

The ceremony was conducted by Rabbi Dr Tony Bayfield, head of the Movement for Reform Judaism and our principal Rabbi Paul Freedman. Synagogue chair Gill Burn said: "We are thrilled to officially appoint him to a rabbinical position. As one of the fastest growing reform communities, we need two ministers to meet the needs of our many members of all ages and David has already endeared himself to those with whom he has had dealings.”

One of the best decisions I ever made was to sign-up to RSY-Netzer’s hadracha course back in 2002.

Since then I have been determined to take full advantage of every benefit being a youth leader in the Reform Jewish community can bring. My new role as Radlett & Bushey’s Youth Worker is a wonderful opportunity to energise the youngest members of our Synagogue and to engage them fully in Jewish life at Radlett.

The audience at the Inter Faith Community Concert held in the marquee on Christ Church Field in Radlett was entertained by Philip Barnett and Bryan Kesselman who sang a medley of popular songs, ladies barbershop quartet champions NoteOrious, and Warren Wills: international award winning composer, pianist and musical director. As a bonus, we had National Theatre star Peter Straker and our very own Georgina Wiltshire.
