Stonegrove Life
Our Stonegrove Life committee supports the Together Groups (click here), Stonegrove Serenade (click here), and other adult learning opportunities.
The Stonegrove Life committee is at the heart of the community. We put on an array of events that cater to many different interests. Our comprehensive adult education programme ensures that further learning is not only fun but even leave you wanting more. It’s not just about Jewish learning, we pride ourselves on offering our synagogue members the chance to unwind with entertainment nights, interactive cookery demonstrations, talks by fascinating speakers and we also oversee the Stonegrove Serenade, New Options and our amazing ‘Together Groups’. The groups offer the chance for people to socialise united by a common interest – from reading to pets and even whiskey!
There really is something for everybody, so why not explore the great range of upcoming events we’ve got planned. Don’t forget, we can get pretty booked up so make sure you sign up nice and early if something appeals to you.
