On 9 February 2014 Bournemouth Golda Emunah held a Whisky Tasting evening at the home of Elissa and Greg Rubins to raise much needed funds for children in Israel.

The event was attended by about 50 people from the Community and a very enjoyable evening was had by all, raising nearly £500 for Lord and Lady Sacks music therapy at Emunah projects in Israel.

The main topic of the evening was a talk given by Mahir Ozdamar on different types of Scotch whisky. He explained the different categories of whisky, emerging from the two basic types, Grain whisky and Malt whisky. The participants then proceeded to sample Grain, Malt, Vatted Malt and Blended Scotch whiskies.

Bournemouth Golda Emunah would like to thank the Community for their generous support.

The Bournemouth Sephardi Association dedicated a third Sefer Torah on the occasion of its 14th anniversary. About 80 men, women and children participated in this happy occasion.

The congregation gathered at the Glen Fern entrance. After the Sefer Torah was inspected, it was carried under a Chuppah to the Wootton Gardens entrance and taken into the Shul. The new Sefer Torah was paraded around the Bimah seven times after which seven Agbahot were performed. Finally the new Sefer Torah was placed in its Ark.

After the ceremony, the participants were invited to take part in a Sephardi style Kiddush in the Menorah Suite.
