 A group of synagogue members have met several times since last June and an exciting programme of education activities has emerged which will touch all members from the very young to the much older.
Rabbi Kathleen and Frank Dabba Smith, of Harrow and Wembley Progressive Synagogue, have produced an innovative and creative curriculum for the Religion School designed to inspire curiosity and provide a broad range of learning to an enlarged school of children from the age of 5 to 16. The Kabbalat Torah class of post Barmitzvah students promises to be very popular as it focuses on modern Jewish history, ethics and practice and introduces a more sophisticated and mature approach to Jewish studies through discussions and text study and will include overseas trips as well as outings to Jewish sites in Berlin and Amsterdam. Students and parents will have this class explained in detail on the morning of 12th September.

 The 150-year-old horse chestnut that brought comfort to Anne Frank as she hid from the Nazis in World War Two has toppled in high winds and heavy rain.
The tree, whose trunk was diseased and rotted, snapped a metre (3ft) above the ground, and crashed into neighbouring gardens in Amsterdam. It smashed into a brick wall and sheds, but nobody was believed injured.
The Anne Frank House museum, which gets a million visitors a year, also escaped unscathed during Monday's poor weather. "Someone yelled: 'It's falling. The tree is falling,' and then you heard it go down," museum spokeswoman Maatje Mostart told the Associated Press. "Luckily no one was hurt. Read more from bbc.co.uk
