Dinner cancelled? LSJS provides a takeaway alternative

In the video, Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis, the LSJS president, said: “We have seen so many wonderful Jewish women who have been trained and educated and equipped with the skills to reach out within communities in order to inspire not just women, but everyone.”

Emeritus Chief Rabbi Lord Sacks noted: “The programme has created a whole cadre of women educators to do this remarkable mitzvah — bringing a woman’s voice to the world of Torah which had been lacking for many, many centuries.”

Guests were contacted by telephone afterwards to make pledges.

The college, which already offers some distance learning, is planning to run its adult education courses online in the summer term.
