Shuvu’s a melting pot
The London Marriott Grosvenor Square became
a Jewish melting pot as American, Danish and
Israeli guests mixed with Jews from all over
England. More than 350 people turned out for the
British Friends of Shuvu gala dinner, during which
they received a first-hand account of the situation
in Ukraine from the Chief Rabbi of Kiev. Dayan
Chanoch Ehrentreu received the Shuvu Leadership
Award and, by way of thanks for his contribution,
a wing at the Shuvu School in Nazareth Iliit
was dedicated in his honour. Dayan Yonason
Abraham, who was also honoured for his support,
urged the assembled to take responsibility for
ensuring that Shuvu’s schools could expand
and “thereby change the face of Israel”. Year 7
Shuvu Bat Yam student Timoti Sannikov, a
contestant on Russia’s The Voice, rounded off the
evening by singing Hebrew and Yiddish songs.
