The system that sends out the weekly newsletter to the mailing list is currently down. Hopefully, this will be up in time to send it out Saturday night- motzei Shabbat.
In the meantime, you can find the communal diary here which details all the events that are taking place within the Leeds Jewish Community between the 29th November and 6th December. It is a busy week with events from UHC, LJWB, WIZO, The Zone, Jewish Women's Aid, Talmud Torah and Brodetsky. Please take a look.
Also, be aware of some important events that are taking place the following week including the UJIA Annual Dinner with Israeli Ambassador, Dan Gillerman, and the Limelight AGM

Ambassador Dan Gillerman
Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations, 2003-2008 Ambassador Dan Gillerman served as Israel’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations from January 2003 – August 2008. His appointment marked the first time that Israel nominated someone from the private sector to this post.
Under Ambassador Gillerman, Israel saw a number of notable and unprecedented achievements in the realm of international politics and diplomacy at the United Nations. He was instrumental in passing numerous resolutions in the General Assembly and Security Council, including the first successful Israeli resolutions ever adopted by the United Nations. As a restament to his leadership, his colleagues elected him a Vice- President of the General Assembly in 2005, making Ambassador Gillerman the first Israeli representative in 53 years to serve the position, ever since Abba Eban in 1952.

Make Drama Work
Dear Friend,
You will hopefully have heard about the first Leeds Community Chanukah Show, being led by Nicky Smith, Jonathan Sumroy and myself. The performances will take place on Sunday 13th and Monday 14th December this year – you might even know somebody involved.
This is a landmark event for the Jewish Community of Leeds. Never before has there been an opportunity for youngsters from all the shuls to take ownership over an event that they are all involved in.
As with most community projects, the show is unsubsidised. As with all theatrical projects, there are some necessary expenses – sets, props and costumes do not come entirely free, no matter how skilled we are at the beg, steal and borrow game! Our aim will be to raise the funds to cover these costs and be able to feed something back into the community via the shuls and The Zone from ticket sales.
And that is where, we hope, you come in…
We will be having full colour, glossy programmes printed and would like to offer advertising space for either business promotion, or personal messages. The brochure will beA5-sized and adverts start at £25 for a quarter page.
I would also like to take this opportunity to invite anyone with an interest in the Arts, to become Patrons of the event by making a single donation of £12. Patrons will be listed and thanked in the programme and associated with future ventures of this nature.
Of course there is always the option of sponsoring a specific part of the event; making a donation specifically for musical contribution, costumes, props or set construction perhaps.
All contributors will be acknowledged in the programme (unless they wish to remain anonymous) and will receive one free ticket to their preferred performance.
If you would like to be a part of this innovative project and feel you can offer your support in any way, please get in touch with me as soon as possible – any assistance will be greatly appreciated!E-mail emma@makedramawork.co.uk or telephone 07538 089 899.
All the very best,
Emma Gordon- DIRECTOR / TRAINER / FACILITATOR
