To forgive, divine: Maggie Allder’s Thought for the Week

‘We all recognised the wisdom and grace of this particular teaching.’

by Maggie Allder 6th June 2025

In Winchester Meeting a couple of weeks ago we had a joint Havdalah service, marking the end of Shabbat with the local Reform Jewish community. Our Jewish friends were the hosts, but on Quaker premises. It was a moving and joyful occasion. Prayers were said and songs were sung, in Hebrew and in English. Afterwards we shared cake and tea.
