Bug Talk By Rabbi Levin of Watford United Synagogue
A splendid evening with Rabbi Levin of Watford United Synagogue and the London Beth-Din Kashrut division was enjoyed by Ruislip United Synagogue Ladies Guild their husbands and friends. Rabbi Levin spoke entertainingly and humoursly with accompanying slides about the problems involved in making sure our fruit and vegetables are bug free when eaten. A practical demonstration using many fresh items brought forth a worm from a bunch of parsley and other bugs from fruit. One lady was heard to say that she attended purely out of duty but found the talk very educational and enjoyable.
Local Jewish Group Honoured
Martin and Esther Taffel were invited to Northwood and Pinner Liberal Synagogue to attend the presentation of the Queen's award for voluntary service to their Bereavement Support Group. Equivalent to an MBE, it is not given or earned lightly, and is considered a great honour. A certificate and crystal plaque were presented by the Deputy Lord Lieutenant, Wing Commander Ed Partridge, who to our surprise, is a woman. Our MP Nick Hurd spoke , as did our Hillingdon Mayor, and there were many other local dignitaries present, including Watford and Harrow Councillors, Church, Mosque and other Synagogue representatives. The Support Group gives on average help to some 70 people per year, and is very highly skilled and organised. We were pleased to represent Ruislip at such a function, and were made very welcome.
New Sefer Torah
Ruislip Synagogue are proud that with the help of the members, funds were raised to enable
Ruislip Synagogue Trust to purchase a second hand Sefer Torah to augment the 3 which are
in the Ark. The FR states that he is very proud that the Ruislip members rose to the occasion
and that this fund raising was done within 18 months.
In conclusion Rabbi Coten acknowledged Rev. Wolfson’s dedicated contribution to the past and said we should take the introduction of this new Sefer Torah to signify that the future will be bright for Ruislip Synagogue, and we should look forward with optimism. Small is indeed beautiful!

Murder Mystery Evening – Who Dun It?
The answer could be literally THE LADIES GUILD! as they arranged for a scintillating evening of fun for Ruislip congregants and their friends on Sunday in February, but of course, the actual murderer was revealed at the conclusion of the evening by very clever deduction work on the part of the audience.
It was certainly a departure from the usual round of Quizzes and Singing entertainment usually put on by the Synagogue, but judging from the enthusiastic response (full capacity house) this was a novel idea which had approbation from all.
A professional group of 10 actors/entertainers set the scene by acting out the scenario of a judge being killed while a dinner party at a nearby residence was in situ. Naturally enough all the guests at the party had some axe to grind and the judge was NOT what you would consider a popular person. The audience – who were supposed to be the villagers – had to examine the evidence and also talk to the suspects in order to deduce who was the killer.
We failed miserably at our table to find the person who was culpable, even though our table was named MISS MARPLE, but several other groups did manage to come up with the correct solution. However, it was not enough to say WHO DUN IT, we also had to justify our thoughts and give a measured report!! In the end the smallest table of 4 won the prizes! Shows you it is quality not quantity that counts.
As per usual the refreshments provided by the Ladies Guild were excellent and the Raffle with over 20 gifts raised the magnificent sum of £120.

Childrens and Youth Shabbat
Congregants at Ruislip United Synagogue enjoyed a treat on Shabbat Terumah when Aron Coton, who recently celebrated his Barmitzvah, and is the youngest son of Rabbi Stanley Coten, together with 2 friends from Hasmonean High School conducted the whole service, including reading from the Torah. It was inspiring to hear such young men davening and singing with such tuneful enthusiasm, and together with other participating youngsters made it a most memorable occasion.
