Committed to keep Brakpan Shul going

Published

on

Ernest Waner

We continue to hold services on Friday nights with the help of our chazzan, Simon and with the assistance from the remaining Jews of Springs (on the Far East Rand). On Saturdays we fetch our regular minyan from Sandringham Gardens (in Johannesburg) to assist with the service.

My brother Jeff has been doing it for nearly 10 years. He also provides a wonderful brocha and everyone is welcome. We as a family have a commitment to Brakpan and would like to see it thrive as an educational centre and that our shul should remain a source of Yiddishkeit in our town.

If there is more information anyone would require, please phone me at (011) 740-0904.

 

President, United Hebrew Institutions of Brakpan

    If so, at what time is it starting and may I ask for directions please?  I live in Benoni
