Celebrating on International Women’s Day our University of Surrey Chaplaincy team who have transformed the student experience and changed the way that Chaplaincy is being done not just here but elsewhere in the UK

My colleague Roger Stamp has produced and Rosie Dawson has presented this podcast with the wonderful Lord Dubs on the life of Nicholas Winton. Well worth a listen.

Looking forward to being back on BBC Surrey and BBC Sussex shortly

Chanukah Sameach. A night to remember.

I have written to Bendicks and KLBD Kosher Certification following the news their mints will not be Kosher certified. Bendicks was the winner of the Surrey Jewish Society’s Shabbat Chocolate of the Year 2018, 2019, 2022 and 2023. #SaveBritishShabbat #MakeBendicksKosherAgain

Back on BBC Sussex and BBC Surrey tomorrow morning with Allison Ferns who first interviewed me on my first ever BBC interview 20 years ago. On that occasion she opened the interview with ‘Wow. Love that… what aftershave are you wearing?’. Looking forward to the reunion.

Privileged to have been invited to this tonight and to have a chance to meet and converse with His Majesty. Whilst I am not at liberty to divulge the conversation, I can say that his very warm words of encouragement will remain with me for a long time to come. Thank you.

We are havering a celebration of the Festival of Freedom after all.

This is Leo’s full quote from RTÉ News. Might be wise for the Taoisach Leo Varadkar to have a chat with his social media manager… like all Irish Jews and many others around the world delighted that little Emily has been released.

Good morning, Britain

Today we had Rabbi Alex Goldberg come in to talk to year 5 about Judaism. He spoke to the children about the synagogue, Shabbat, the Torah and some other practices that Jewish people have and the laws they follow.

We need to do gather around as a community and support ⁦Kings College⁩ in anyway we can - a very important partner for the work that we’ve done locally over the last 20 years. bbc.com/news/uk-englan…

Thank you to all the students that took part of this multi faith and belief project tinyurl.com/3r8a3uzv

I’m simply sending out love and sympathy to Layla Moran 🔶🕊️ from a rabbi she does not know (following this morning’s interview)

“This week I told my team I felt that we failed. Because we have.”

Rabbi Alex Goldberg, who resigned from the FA this week after Wembley refused to light its arch for Israel, breaks down as he reiterates that he believes peace between Palestinians and Israelis is possible.

Congratulations to Philip Mounstephen. Great news.

Join us for this special event when musicians and other artists from across our community will come together to look back on challenging times and ahead to a better future, together. gsauk.org/events/hope-co…
