Wishing everyone who celebrates Passover a Chag Sameach. As I prepare for our Zoom Seder night it is hard to cook for 5 when I was expecting 34! We may be eating chicken soup and brownies for the whole 8 days.@CSJewishNet

Celebrating one of the most joyous and celebrated holidays of the Jewish Calendar, Purim. It marks the salvation of the Jewish people in ancient Persia around 2,500 years ago. 🙌

Proud to join @UKinKolkata's interfaith project with @indianpluralism today. The young participants' stories of changing perceptions & new friendships will stay with me. Special moment as a 🇬🇧✡️ diplomat when Mrs Cohen of Kolkata Jewish community spoke on Indian Jewish history.

Thanks @CSJewishNet and @BoardofDeputies for providing the Sukkah. I enjoyed taking @DefraGovUK colleagues there this lunchtime, to eat cake and learn a little together.

[Civil Service Jewish Network @CSJewishNet]

Come down to @hmtreasury to visit the J-Net Sukkah! For those at the @foreignoffice, there is a Sukkah in the courtyard - both are there all week!

Chag Sameach!

As we head into #YomKippur (Day of Atonement) this evening, we would like to wish everyone a G’mar Chatimah Tovah. May we all be inscribed in the Book of Life.
