The Boaz Trust runs a night shelter from November to April each year for male destitute asylum seekers who would otherwise be homeless and on the streets.  This year the Trust has successfully raised over £13,000 to keep the night shelter going until April.  This is a truly vital and life-saving resource in the city, serving an estimated 12 men each night, and the Trust would like to thank all those who continue to support them.

Over 40 women attended an interactive Kugel and Challah evening at the Chabad Centre in Whitefield.

The event was presented by Sora Jaffe who demonstrated how to make Challah (bread) and Kugel, a kind of savoury cake to be eaten either as a dessert or with meat as an accompaniment.  Sora also talked about the significance of both items in the Jewish faith.

Each person made their own and took them home to bake in time for Shabbos.
