Kol Kehillat Kernow 06 03.FH10 KolKol KehillatKehillat KernowKernow Voice of the Jewish community in Cornwall Issue 14 kehillatkernow.com Adar 5766/March 2006 A double dose of good news Harvey Kurzfield Louise Garcia and Jacqui Rickett have good news to tell: they have successfully converted to Judaism. From what I heard the final meeting in London was a "wonderful and emotional" experience. Both ladies were already a credit to Kehillat Kernow with their clear sense of devotion and their commitment to our group. But now, even more so! I hope their experiences with Kehillat Kernow will continue to give them pleasure and also a sense of fulfilment. Elkan Levy: this years lecturer Harvey Kurzfield In June we have a weekend visit from Elkan Levy. Elkan works alongside Malcolm Wiseman on behalf of small synagogue communities. Several of our members have seen Elkan take workshops and we have all been impressed with his eloquence and his ability to relate to his audience. Elkan will be our guest lecturer on Sunday 25th June at Carnon Downs Village Hall near Truro. The subject of his lecture will be Cromwell and the Rabbi a fitting topic as we celebrate the 350th anniversary of Cromwells relaxation of the laws relating to the settlement of Jews in England.

The play shows how underlying prejudice can exist in an ostensibly tolerant society; how the growth of the individual can be harmed as he is forced into a role imposed by the stereotyped attitudes of those around him; how seemingly harmless events can, in time, lead to injustice and tragedy. The play concludes by showing how this process is destructive not only of the victim but also of the community that engenders The soldier and the Jew confront one another it. The label Jew is the one used in this play and also of the fate of those who had to each individual. but it is clear that any of the collective titles remain in Europe.

  • Richard Lander School Admissions Policy
    Richard Lander School Admissions Policy Richard Lander School follows the Local Authority Admissions Policy and, along with all other LA schools in Cornwall, places on transfer from primary school are allocated by the County team who follow the agreed Common Admissions Policy. The policy complies with the School Admissions Code 2014, the School Admission Regulations 2008, the School Standards and Framework Act 1998, the Education Act 1996 and CornwaII Council’s Fair Access Protocol and offers admission to students irrespective of social, racial or religious considerations. The Governing Body, however, reserves the right to consider each applicant individually. This applies particularly to any student who has been permanently excluded from another school, both within this Local Authority and within any other. Children with a Statement of Special Educational Needs that names Richard Lander School will be admitted to the School, regardless of the number on roll in the year group. The school will participate fully in the Cornwall Local Authority’s Fair Access Protocol (See Appendix 1). Children in Care who are directed to the school by the Local Authority will be admitted to the school, regardless of the number on roll in the year group. Our ‘published admission number’ is 270 students in years 7-11. These figures relate to the 2015–16 academic year. It is essential that parents realise that there is always a high demand for places at Richard Lander, consequently once the school year has commenced, the preference for specific subjects in Years 10 and 11 cannot always be met. All applications for school places at Richard Lander School must be made to Cornwall Local Authority.

Ark Italian, Walnut, & Oak Our History Over the past eleven years, the European Days of Jewish Culture and Heritage have become an established feature in the Jewish calendar. B’nai B’rith UK Launched in 1996 by B’nai B’rith in Strasbourg, Jewish Heritage Days spread to several other European countries and gathered momentum when, in 2000, a partnership was formed which now comprises B’nai B’rith Europe, the European Council of Jewish Communities and the Spanish Jewry Network. Between 25 and 30 countries participate every year, attracting well over 200,000 visitors throughout Europe. The success of the EDJCH has led to the creation of the European Route of Jewish Heritage, linking notable sites in a Jewish Heritage Trail right across Europe. The Route is included in the Council of Europe’s programme – ‘A Common Heritage’ and has been awarded the status of ‘Major Cultural Route’, one of only 7 such routes. British participation in the EDJCH is organised by B’nai B’rith UK, this year celebrating the 100th anniversary of its presence in Great Britain. BBUK is part of B’nai B’rith International, founded in New York in 1843, today one of the largest Jewish volunteer organisations active in humanitarian, human rights, cultural and charitable work in 58 countries, 27 of which (including the United Kingdom) are affiliated to B’nai B’rith Europe.
