We call ourselves the Welshpool Jewish Group for that is where we first met some 20 years ago.
Meetings are every 2 months at peoples houses, which can either be in Welshpool or in the wider surrounding district.
We are a loose group, we have no chairman or secretary. There are no fees.
Our meetings start with a Service and we use the Liberal book.
After the Service we have food and all those attending bring some food.
Similarly we organise an annual Seder.

Three attacks in the last week on Synagogues and a Jewish educational charity – I’m horrified. There should be louder and prolonged condemnation of these attacks on Jews.
Ddylai pob dinesydd Prydeinig brotestio’r ymosodiadau yn erbyn yr Iddewon sy’n ran o’n cenedl.
I am not particularly religious, but I need to express my horror at the events in Manchester, especially on your holiest day. Be assured you are not alone, I will always stand up for the freedom to worship. I hope that this helps you to know that we stand with you.
Hello. I would love sometime if possible to visit Welshpool. I live in Llanwrtyd Wells in Powys. I love Israel and often pray.
Hello,
I am an American student at Aberystwyth Uni and would like to become connected with local (broadly speaking) Jewish community. I am also endeavoring to start a Jewish Society at Aber Uni.
Would love to get in touch!
Shana tova!

Hi Simi

Hi,
We live in Oswestry and have a soon to be 13 year old son. Would also love to meet other Jewish families locally with a sense of humour and a sense of fun. I am Jewish and my husband isn’t but he loves my chicken soup and kneidelach, not to mention shawarma so he is half way there! Please get in touch. Thanks
Dear Judy
There are very few Jews in the area and our family tends to celebrate the holidays at home – it is about a 3 hour drive to the nearest synogogue. Your son is welcome to get in touch. He can find me easily on the University of Aberystwyth website (Department of Geography and Earth Science).
are there any young Hebrew speaking families in the Welshpool area.
my son is moving from Israel to Powys and has 3 young children and is interested in meeting other young jewish families.
I am looking for a liberal/progressive community in Mid-Wales – is this community still active? Please contact by email if so.
I live in Welshpool & believe I have Jewish ancestry & simply wanted to say that I Love & Fully Stand with Israel.
Am Yisrael Chai
B’Shalom,
George.
What are the dates and meeting times for the Welshpool group? Are they meeting today (15.3.14)?

Trying to get in contact with the Welshpool, Powys, group. I work in film and tv, mainly historical documentaries. We are doing one about biblical times and into the 1st crusades and I’m interested in Priestly costume of both periods but apart from more recent pics, can’t find decent authentic sources so i can get it as right as possible.
If anyone can help, great!
I’m in Newtown, south of Welshpool.
Yours,
Griff (Mark Griffin)
