Once again, members of the Shul came together to join in our second annual pre-Pesach Matzah Baking Experience at MH Shul on Sunday 14th April 2019. Proceedings began in shul with a practical Halochoh shiur by our Rov, before heading out to the bakery behind MH Shul.

There were approximately 30 members who joined in b'achdus and ensured the production line worked smoothly, drawing on their skills learned from last year. Many matzos were produced on the night, with members taking them home to use on Seder night!

Sadly there was no rekidah, much to the dismay of our Chief Rekidah Starter, Ruben Smith!

To celebrate the restoration of our Shul and in honour of החבר Moshe and Leah Gross, a Gala Dinner was held on Wednesday 28th November 2018 in the Hilton Suite.

Attended by over 300 people from all over the Kehilla and indeed the world, the dinner was held to celebrate the completion of the Shul renovations after 1 year spent in the hall while the works were taking place - the first major work since 1953! The Shul is 130 years old this year and is the oldest non-affiliated shul in Manchester.

Shortly before the dinner, Dayan Chanoch Ehrentreu and Chief Rabbi Efraim Mirvis affixed mezuzos to the new parts of the Shul. A Siyum Mishnayos also took place, where Rabbi Stefansky was mesayem. After a small l'chaim, participants proceeded to the Hilton Suite for the main event which was led by our President, Ruben Smith.

Guests also came to honour esteemed members, Moishe and Leah Gross, in order to pay tribute for all the work they do in our community. The presence of a large number of Rabbonim enhanced this special occasion. Moishe was awarded the covted title of החבר and presented with a framed certificate by Dayan Berger of the Manchester Beis Din.

Sunday 18th June saw 7 of our members take part in the Kivisi ride - a 100km ride from Dolphinholme, near Lancaster, through the stunning Forest of Bowland and the Ribble Valley, back to Jewish High in Manchester where a carnival awaited the riders.

Yitsy Stefansky, Dani Mechlowitz, Eli Harris, Binny Silverman, Naf Fagleman, Ben Rose as well as Mechel Haffner rode together almost the entire way.

Eli, Ben and Yitsy were among the top ten to finish the ride while the others were not far behind all finishing the ride in fantastic times.

Naf was the 3rd highest fundraiser raising over £4900. In total the 100 or so riders raised an incredible £120,000 for Kivisi.

Congratulations to the ‘Vine Street Cycling Team’

The picture was taken mid-ride after around 50km.

Vine Street Shul was once again victorious in the Annual Shabbat UK five a side tournament.
Our boys came into the competition as strong favourites having won the competition last year as well as the Fed tournament earlier this year.
It got off to a great start with the team winning 6-0 and 7-0 before the score lines became more competitive with tougher matches.
After a close game in the quarter final, winning 6-5 in the dying seconds of the game, it was plain sailing from then on.
The final was won 6-1 and vine street prevailed again showing we are a force to be reckoned with both in ruchniyus and in gashmiyus!

The red, white and blue of the Union Jack will be a ubiquitous sight this summer as Britain prepares to mark a most auspicious occasion: the 90th birthday of the United Kingdom’s longest-reigning monarch.
 
The Queen is an icon of what it means to be British, something which we, as proud British Jews, can and should acknowledge by hosting unique and memorable community celebrations in her honour. The Chief Rabbi is encouraging communities to seize the opportunity to mark this national celebration.
 
Although The Queen’s actual birthday falls on 21st April, the Sovereign’s official birthday is customarily celebrated in the summer.

Our Kehilla (Vine St) has decided  to host a Kiddush this Shabbos although many other UK Kehillas may be celebrating during the weekend of Shavous. The Kiddush is in recognition of the Medina Shel Chesed that we are fortunate to live in, in peace and security B’H

Many ladies in our Kehilla have kindly offered to pitch in and provide classic British tea party fare: Cream Cakes/Scones and Jam/Strawberries and Cream/Cups of Tea etc. (you get the picture!) With Union Jacks and bunting to celebrate the Monarchs birthday! It should be a fun event and I would ask as many of you as possible to attend Shul and the Kiddush this week with your families/children etc.

As we are self-catering from amongst the members, the Rov has asked me to point out the following:

• When preparing Strawberries- (Checking) Slice off the tops (don't pull out the green stalk) Place the strawberries in a bowl with a small amount of washing up liquid. Then rub over each strawberry and rinse under running water

• Also, please ensure that all Milky/Cream foods are only Cholov Yisroel
