If you have ever wondered how you are meant to daven on a Shabbat morning and take the kids to their Children's Service, Hashkama provides the answer - with a service beginning at 8.00am and finishing at 9.30am. Hashkama has now been going since 2003 and was initially started by two Shul members with young children, who wanted to be able to daven and take their children to their services too. Now though, people come for all sorts of reasons. You'll have to attend to find out!
Hashkama takes place every two weeks in the Club Room and is a sharp, vibrant, warm and friendly service with plenty of opportunity to daven, lein and be called up to the Torah. The service also benefits from a short D'var Torah before the end of the service from one of the Rabbis and if you are feeling a bit peckish by the end and feel the need for culinary satisfaction, then you will definitely enjoy the renowned "Cholent, Kugel and and Malt Whisky Kiddush" that follows every service.
If you would like to know more about the Hashkama service, would like to sponsor a Kiddush one week or would like to take part in leading a service, please contact the Gabboim - Leigh Arden, Craig Levison and Joel Waxman - on .
See you in Hashkama!
