Edgware Youth Tikun Leil

Edgware
Over fifty teenagers from Edgware United and the Yeshurun trekked through the rain to take part in a Tikkun Leil on the first night of Shavuot. They were split into three groups with three sessions throughout the night and speakers including Rabbi Lister, Rabbi Lewis, Rabbi Sandler, Shmuel Portnoy, Ben Allen and Debbie Rowe, as well as the Shuls’ very own Youth Directors, Ivor Mordecai and David and Miriam Baigel. The Youth really enjoyed the learning and the different range of speakers, each with their own messages to impart. The night of learning was finished off with an early Shacharit at 3am.
