ECAPS ANNUAL SOCIAL AND STUDY WEEKEND

Eastern Counties Association of Progressive Synagogues
Bet Tikvah • Beth Shalom Cambridge • Harlow • PJCEA Norwich
SWESRS • Southard • Sukkat Shalom • Woodford Progressive

This year's ECAPS Social and Study Weekend took place at St. Gabriel's, nr Bungay, Suffolk, Friday 7th December – Sunday 9th December.

This was a thoroughly enjoyable and rewarding weekend. PJC was well represented. Hopefully, even more of us can make it next year. These weekends are a great opportunity to see both new and familiar faces. Comfortable surroundings, good company and good food. Educational, spiritual, and fun — an opportunity not to be missed!
