Peace of Mind: Community Friday Night Dinner

*THIS EVENT IS NOW FULLY BOOKED*

Friday 18th July – Stanmore Shul

For the first time in many years, Stanmore is honoured to host another Peace of Mind Shabbat, welcoming a group of Israeli war veterans who will be spending the week in the UK for much-needed rest, reflection, and emotional support.

Israel needs our support more than ever before. 

It is a true privilege to have these remarkable individuals with us — especially during such a challenging time in Israel. We feel immense gratitude that they’ve been able to travel here, and that Stanmore has the opportunity to be their home for Shabbat.

Join us for a moving and memorable Friday night dinner as we come together to offer a heartfelt Stanmore welcome. It will be an evening of connection, conversation, and shared inspiration with those who have given so much in service.

Schedule:

6:45pm: Malt Whisky L’Chaim and schmooze.

7:15pm: Mincha followed by Kabbalat Shabbat.

8:15pm: Candle lighting 

Dinner immediately after service at approximately 8:30pm

Peace of Mind is a therapeutic intervention through which IDF veterans receive time and space to process their combat experiences.

Run by the Metiv Israel Psychotrauma Center in Jerusalem, the programme strengthens their emotional and mental wellbeing, allowing for a healthier transition from military back to civilian life.
