Matzah Ramble - 2013

The annual Harlow Jewish Community Matzah ramble will take place on Sunday, 31 March at 11.00 am in Epping Forest.  We will meet outside the High Beach Visitor Centre (which is open that day) and go for a walk through the scenic forest before tucking into a picnic with matzah-based sandwiches and sundries.  Please bring food appropriate for Pesach and let us know if you plan to attend so we can look out for you on the day.  Email:  This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.  .  You're welcome to bring dogs along for the walk.  It's a fun, sociable event...Now let's hope for nice spring weather!
 
Here is a link with further information on the location in Epping Forest, which is signpposted from the road from Epping towards Loughton and has plenty of facilities, including a nice pub for a post-ramble Pesach-friendly drink!: http://www.cityoflondon.gov.uk/things-to-do/green-spaces/epping-forest/visitor-information/Pages/High-Beach-visitor-centre.aspx

History of Harlow Jewish Community

Harlow has had a Jewish Community in the Town since the early 50's. In 1966 a Terrapin prefabricated building was purchased. The building went up in two days, seated over 100 people and could be partitioned for classes. At the consecration of the synagogue, the Harlow Council of Churches presented a handmade reading desk, which is still in use today.

 

This 'temporary' building lasted 20 years and in May 1987 the present building was consecrated, a simple 140 seater hall with car parking facilities purchased with members' donations and from fund raising activities. Immediately with a building of its own, the Community saw its membership rise, coming from a 200 square mile catchment area from Epping and London in the south to Bishop's Stortford and beyond in the north, and from Hertford in the west to Great Dunmow in the east.
