The Centenary weekend was a phenomenal success. On Shabbos, (Saturday) over one hundred community members, visitors and friends attended. Rev Harris conducted the lengthy service in his usual calm and collected fashion together with a very apt sermon. Joel Camissar recited Musaf which was beautiful and brought back so many memories of around twenty five years ago when he led the service as a young man The hall was beautifully decorated with pictures and memorabilia from the past plus the Israeli and Canadian flag as well as the Union Jack of course. Past President, Leslie Fox spoke very well. Malcolm Weisman, former Minister for small synagogues also spoke extremely well and with great poignancy. The elaborate kiddush was delicious and plentiful; there was a fantastic carnival atmosphere with everyone enjoying this special occasion.
This was the case on Sunday too. It was truly amazing. It is difficult to say how many were there but at a guess around 160. The afternoon...
