Comunidad Israelita de Alicante

A Message from the President.

Looking forward to 5771

Dear Members and Friends,

It is with much pleasure that I can report another successful year for our Community. Despite the problems associated with the economic situation our membership continues to thrive, and we enjoy regular Shabbat Services with good attendances. Those of you that have prayed with us on Friday nights will also have experienced our generous Kiddush Table. Many thanks to all those who regularly donate the food. If you wish to contribute to the refreshments please note no meat products.

Our Social and Cultural activities continue to be well supported and enjoyed by all, including our Communal Shabbat Suppers, our special Chunnukah Services, and a host of social events throughout the year. You will find future events listed on this website under the "Religious/Social Calender" page.

As we approach the Jewish New Year of 5771, which commences with Erev Rosh Hashanah on the 8th September, our thoughts go out to all our members and friends throughout the world.

In this year to come, as in every year, we hope and pray for a just and lasting peace for all, for good health, and for joy and happiness to fill our hearts and the hearts of all humanity.

In the coming High Holiday Services we concentrate on three very important religious duties. Teshuvah, Tefilla and Tzedakah, which translate as Repentance, Prayer, and Charity. This is why it is traditional in the synagogue at this time of the year to make charitable donations, (tzedakah) which can, if you so desire, be given in the name of a departed loved one. I can assure you that your donation will be put to very good use. If you would like to do this through our website please CLICK HERE

May I take this opportunity to extend to you the season's greetings and good wishes.

"Leshana tova tekatev v'etachetem".
May you be inscribed for a good and sweet year.

Brian Imber,
President.
