They say that a picture is worth a thousand words. But in the case of the service in the Kladno synagogue there is probably no picture that can capture the atmosphere of that occasion it touched all of us and I heard not a word of complaint.Who can recall the sequence of the service and our part in it ? Who can recall which Hebrew songs suddenly rang out and how our voices swelled the sound so that it filled the place ? Did anyone take a photo of probably the first Torah reading in that synagogue for nearly 70 years ?

We need volunteers
Kladno is a town without Jews, but with many people who are interested in its Jewish past and heritage and who want to get to know us. We must not disappoint them. We should encourage them. This way we, and other Kladno Scroll congregations, can bring a Jewish presence back to Kladno.
We offered to care for a seriously damaged Scroll 1496 –with the last part of Numbers and the Book of Deuteronomy. Congregation Beth El has given us the chance to do the job properly ? We need volunteers from NPLS to work alongside Ellin Yassky's research team in Fairfield on this intriguing project.
