We are proud to present an exclusive pre Rosh Hashana celebration. Happy new year!

Pomegranates. Shofar. Apple in honey. Fasting. Boiled carrots. White robes. Slippers. Stand up, sit down, kneel on the floor, stand up again, bow, sit down again, sing a bit, more bowing. 900 pages to go.

Judaism’s new year season is ever so slightly different to the rest of the world’s. Why is that?

Join us for a buffet reception mixer followed by a choice of talks geared toward explaining the method behind the madness, with a delicious dessert to wrap things up.

And for those who are interested, we are joining forces with Eilecha, Jewish Futures’ newest organisation, to host a beautiful musical explanatory Selichot* event, starting right after NYE Soulcial in the same venue!

*’Selichot’ is a special service containing poems and special prayers which are recited ahead Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur throughout the Jewish community. Selichot focuses on self-awareness, introspection and sharpening our vision of what needs for change in order for us to fulfil our potential in the year to come. Explanations and singing throughout. Separate seating for men and women.
