Hi there and welcome to This Week at Orwell. Here is a recap of news stories around the Orwell community this last week.
African & Caribbean Community Market | University of Suffolk
On Saturday 30th September the University of Suffolk in Ipswich will be hosting the African & Carribbean Community Market. Between 12pm and 6pm you are invited to day of storytelling, activities for kids, community talks, as well as perusing the market of business stalls with clothing, jewelry and amazing food to name but a few. It’s free to enter the market and a small charge to take part in some of the other activities.
Rosh Hashanah
This evening marks the start of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, a time of celebration and introspection.
The two days of Rosh Hashanah usher in the Ten Days of Repentance (Aseret Yemei Teshuvah), also known as the Days of Awe (Yamim Noraim), which culminates in the major fast day of Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement.
During this two-day festival, families will attend the synagogue, eat certain foods such as pomegranates, honey and apples, and blow a horn call a shofar, which signals the start of the
Days of Awe.
We would like to take this opportunity to wish all our customers, colleagues and communities who may be celebrating, a very happy Rosh Hashanah.
