TO BELIEVE OR NOT TO BELIEVE, THAT IS THE QUESTION.Sunday, 29 June at 8pm.

This is a reminder about the forthcoming meeting at Hashomer House on
The format is a debate about the Jewish religion between 2 people with very different views.
AVRAHAM SHOMRONI, was a member of Kibbutz Barkai for 40 years.
He was General Secretary of Hashomer Hatzair (1951-53) and served
as Shaliach for Mapam in London (1982-86). He now lives in Tel-Aviv.
MICHAEL MILSTON, runs a Language Teaching School called Lingua Franca.
He is the author of A Critical Review (1997) which reviews a number of
philosophically based books. Michael studied in Sokachov Yeshivah in Beit Vegan,
Jerusalem and he currently gives weekly shiurim (lessons) at both Yakar and Western
Marble Arch synagogues. He is also the producer of Spectrum Radio's Jewish programme,
named Tikkun Spectrum.
This will be a debate on the many shades of opinion and outlook in Judaism today - ranging from secular to orthodox and many variations inbetween.
Do not forget also, that there will be a Summer Garden Party on Saturday evening, 19 July, starting at 8.30pm.
We look forward to seeing you.

We are delighted to welcome back to London once again a very dear friend of ours - Avraham Shomroni and his wife
Masha. Many of you will remember Avraham from when he was a Shaliach for Mapam in the 1980s, when he spent a couple of years helping to foster our message. Last time when he was here, we had a debate which was very successful.
This time it will be a slightly different format,
It is sure to be enjoyable.
