The Leeds Jewish community is once again inviting members of St G's to go on their four day trip to holocaust sites in Poland, including a day at Auschwitz. The dates for the next visit are not finalised yet but the trip is likely to be for four days around the end of October and will cost approximately £750, full board. Seven of us went last year and we would all thoroughly recommend it. It is a valuable trip in its own right and will help to further St G's engagement with the local Jewish community.
