Of course, there will probably be fewer charity participation events in the coming months, but I reckon people will start coming up with some pretty ingenious ways to fundraise soon.

If someone in France can run a full marathon on their seven-metre balcony, there’s no reason we can’t see similar efforts here – and using SmartGiving would be the most effective way to do it.

Last, but not least, there are considerable tax benefits to giving via our platform.

Higher rate taxpayers can benefit from an extra 20% tax relief for the 2019/ 2020 tax year – if they top up their accounts by 5 April 2020.

To return to my opener: we are living in – to put it mildly – interesting times.

Difficult times. Unprecedented times.

Our world is very different to the one we left behind in 2019, and yet there is comfort to be found in the familiar. The urge to help others is still there and has never been more vital. Let this virus, that does not distinguish between the rich or poor, remind us once again of our shared humanity and spur us to act on that urge.

Amidst the uncertainty, we can ground ourselves in kindness and anchor ourselves with compassion. Whatever you can give, whoever you want to support, contact SmartGiving today.

Work Avenue still offering support despite pandemic

The Work Avenue team remote working

BY DAVID SAFFER Work Avenue helps to place clients into work and upskill into work.

The Finchley-based operation is now working remotely due to the coronavirus pandemic but business advisers are on hand with expert advice.

Whether commercial or marketing workshops, interview technique, CV writing, networking tips or transferable skills, distinct departments serve its many clients.

And with the country in lockdown their expertise is essential at a historic time because when the Covid-19 crisis eventually relents businesses will return to work.

Chief executive Debbie Sheldon is just a few days into a new working pattern and clear the charity will adapt further going forward.

“Our advisers are very much on hand for the businesses,” she said. “Face to face networking has had to end but we are advising how best to use social media to progress, meet people and develop.

“My team place people into work, help people upskill into work,” commented Emma May, director of operations and employment. “We are not magicians but narrow the odds in their favour.

“We offer interventions to help the job seeking front. We help people with interview skills, where and how to look to work, how to complete application forms, connect people to people. Everything narrows odds

“Most critically, we run a jobs board.

There are employers who like working with the community so when a job comes about they can offer it to someone in the

these will be up and running as they were in the fullness of time.

“What is running is one to one support.

We have five advisers, all up to speed with zoom conferencing, skype or by telephone.

THEJEWISHWEEKLY.COM

We are here to advise, reassure, help focus.

Clients are worried, we all are, so to have a conversation about job seeking is really important.

“Advisers are busy and we are helping, but on the placement side we have to be realistic. Clients are uncertain, jobs have been put on hold, which is not surprising but there is recruitment going on remotely by video interview and people looking at CVs. A trickle will start again, we are optimistic jobs will come on stream. Above all, it’s really important to continue helping our clients at the moment.”

Uncertainty is a worry, but Work Avenue clients are demonstrating resolve in difficult times.

“An example is a client who is adapting a CV to show potential employers he is working from home and able to build relationships,” explained Debbie. “This is not what he was doing two weeks ago, he can add value to a company for a job opportunity.”

Work Avenue is offering clients advice on how video interviews differ to face to face interviews.

Debbie explained, “We are giving practical tips because the recruitment process is happening.

“We are also working as a team to spot new opportunities. It’s about being agile, being ahead of the game, thinking creatively, using transferable skills, using technology wisely.

“Graphic design jobs do not need to be done in a specific location. There is nothing wrong with people working remotely, once up to speed they can work often at a lower cost to employers.”

Nevertheless, there is concern about long-term knock-on effects, especially when it comes to raising funds for a business.

“This is a critical stage of business,” commented Debbie. “They are not at the start-up phase when they can manage themselves, they are at the stage of growth looking for funding and a funders risk appetite will change at the moment.

“There is panic and worry. But we will settle into a new norm. I can’t paint a completely rosy picture. Some people are going to be asked to take unpaid leave, some people will be on 50 percent. Business decisions have to be made, there are horrible decisions. There are people on probation easy to get rid of but there will be space for people to come back when the uncertainty goes. I just hope the uncertain period is not as long as some people are predicting.”

Emma added, “When we are talking to clients we are very careful. ‘Don’t worry it’s

World Jewish Relief How my grandma’s dementia helped me understand the impact of World Jewish Relief’s work

BY RICHARD BUDDEN, WORLD JEWISH RELIEF At this time of great uncertainty it is amazing to see the way communities are reaching out to their most vulnerable members to help keep them safe or make sure they have everything they need. It reminds me of how my family gathered around my grandma Nita when she was diagnosed with dementia.

She died in December 2012 but from the very beginning, when a routine medical check-up spotted early signs of dementia, there was support and advice for my family as to how best we could help her. She had regular appointments to see how her situation progressed and went to the day centre at her synagogue to do activities with trained volunteers. She received help and medication from the NHS to make sure she was kept as well as she could be.

It was difficult and hard to see the changes in her. I was lucky, she always remembered me, or saw someone else she Viktor & Margareta at the Jewish Community Centre recognised in me. I would get a smile and Zoya, the programme director, told a tut as she rubbed her hand on my beard, me dementia care in Ukraine is 30 years followed by a light tap on the cheek. It behind the UK, that there is no medical was painful to see the person who had diagnosis, no-one really understands cooked so many family meals not be able dementia (including most doctors) and to remember how to cook anything but families feel it is just part of getting old we know we did everything we could do for her with carers, medical support and a or that their older relatives are just being annoying. care system behind her.

I couldn’t imagine my grandma having It’s no surprise that my Grandma Nita was forefront in my mind when I travelled been in that situation with no medication and no support. It made me realise how to Kharkiv, Ukraine recently to meet lucky we are to live in the UK but it was older Jewish people living with dementia also inspiring to see how World Jewish who we support through our Dementia Relief’s programme is changing dementia Programme.

Like Viktor impact of our work.

The people we support often live alone, with no family support and Margareta who have been married for 60 years. We first visited them at their home where they struggled to follow the conversation, Viktor would answer a question but then shrink back in his seat and disengage. There were moments when you could see the old glint in their eyes and you knew they had been the life and soul of the party.

Margareta burst into song, singing nursery rhymes from her childhood but forgot them half way through. My grandma used to do the same, humming songs and speaking Yiddish even though she hadn’t spoken it for 70 years. At one point Margareta smiled at me, got up and walked over to me, grabbing my cheeks and rubbing my beard. It reminded me so much of my grandma and what she used

THEJEWISHWEEKLY.COM

to do. Different people, different circumstances, same connections.

The next day we met Viktor and Margareta at the Jewish Community Centre’s dementia group session and it couldn’t have been more different. Alongside other people, taking part in activities, they were up and dancing, drawing and making jokes. Viktor was engaged and although at times he was slightly confused by the surroundings, there were people there to help and support them. Margareta didn’t recognise me at first but towards the end of the session got up and rubbed my face, laughing to herself.

It was amazing to see the difference we can make to people living with a condition that is unknown and undiagnosed in their own countries. As soon as I walked into Liliya’s flat she told me how scared she was that she was losing her memory. She didn’t remember some things but can remember her past, like my grandma who would tell me about her schooldays but not know her own family.

Liliya remembers the exact layout of the village she grew up in and the day the Nazis came and shot and killed her entire family. Everyone in the room was in tears as she told us she was saved by a neighbour who passed her off as her own daughter.

Liliya has a dementia care worker called Vita who comes and visits her weekly.

They look through old photos, model clay together and draw to help keep Lilya’s mind active. It was heart-warming to hear Liliya say how much she enjoys the visits, how it helps her and makes her feel more confident. Vita also spoke passionately about how Liliya has opened up to her and how she has transformed from being silent and reserved to more outgoing and talkative.

This is a really difficult time. We all know what it feels like to be vulnerable and we are working with our partners around the world to ensure we can continue to look after the most vulnerable older members of our Jewish community. The people we support often live alone, with no family support and while they’re becoming increasingly concerned about the threat of coronavirus, their other worries haven’t gone away. They need our help more than ever and while our programmes will adapt over the coming weeks and months to adjust to our changing reality, we won’t stop

#SederStories

Norwood “Old Scholar” Ronnie and his wife, Betty Large charities such as Norwood have a number of key fundraising dates each year. These will usually include a couple of postal/email appeals centred around Jewish festivals, and perhaps an Annual Dinner for the great and good of their donor circle. A few weeks ago, as Norwood was putting the finishing touches to its annual Pesach appeal, the coronavirus crisis started to grip and the appeal’s aim – simply to tell the stories of some of the people the charity has supported in its 225 year history – started to look a little out of sync with the national mood.

The charity had to make a decision whether to launch the appeal or not and, in the end, it decided to go ahead with the addition of a separate flyer about its response to the coronavirus crisis.

The truth is, for Norwood, the pandemic has had a double impact: it costs the charity more to cover essential support staff in its vital services for children and families in crisis and people with learning disabilities and autism, and it has had to cancel a number of large corporate fundraising events, which contribute to the £12 million the charity must raise each year. Its International Challenges are also, Bev Jacobson, Norwood’s necessarily, on hold.

In spite of the extraordinary circumstances we find ourselves in this Pesach, Norwood will be spending this time – as best we can – commemorating and celebrating 225 years of service to the community. That’s why, this year, it is our duty to tell the stories of some of the extraordinary people Norwood has supported over the years. We will be telling these stories in a variety of ways over the coming weeks.

that bit easier, KLBD has certified as Kosher l’Pesach certain brands of regular tea, coffee and salt that can be purchased in mainstream supermarkets. How did they do this? Join us on a journey that is more than 500 years in the making… n the fifteenth century Rav Israel Isserlin (1390 – 1460), better known as the Trumos Hadeshen, one of the greatest early Halachists, ruled that sugar must be manufactured under supervision for Pesach. His concern then was that flour may be added as a whitening agent or other chametzderived ingredients used in the refining process, but the challenge applies to equally to tea, coffee, salt and many other items. Earl Grey tea could contain a Bergamot flavour which can be chametz. Tea bags themselves may contain starch. To decaffeinate coffee, alcohol is sometimes used which can be derived from wheat. Anti-caking agents used to keep a powdered product dry can be chametz or kitniyot.

The Trumos Hadeshen’s ruling has been followed by generations of Jews to this day. But making special small batches of products that are kosher for Pesach is very expensive, sometimes because of the cost to the factory in downtime while everything is elaborately cleaned before starting the kosher run, but more often simply because of the logistics of getting a particular batch of sugar to a particular kosher corner shop, instead of large and regular deliveries through the regular countrywide network.

As more and more manufacturers across the globe become kosher certified, however - KLBD supervises some 1,800 factories worldwide - and incorporate kashrut controls into their processes, quality control protocols are in place throughout the year. Thus we are able to certify regular products as Kosher l’Pesach without additional special supervision.

The demand for Kosher certification from the large Jewish communities of the USA and especially Israel, has meant that manufacturers are keen to get Kosher l’Pesach status for their products so they can maintain their shelf-space in Israeli supermarkets throughout the year, including the Pesach season.

Some companies such as Tate & Lyle have placed a KLBD-P logo (P for Pesach!) on all their regular packs.

Others haven’t as yet, and some are not so keen to do so, as it opens them up to demands from other segments of the market (Halal, Vegetarian Society, Vegan, Soil Association et al) for their logos to be put on the packaging too.

To help the kosher consumer further, this year KLBD has worked with Taylors of Harrogate who make Yorkshire Tea, Nestlé who make Nescafé and Saxa

l’Pesach throughout the year and can now be purchased anywhere at the normal year round prices, without the additional cost of manufacturing packing and delivering special Passover batches.

KLBD wishes everyone a Chag Kosher Vesameach – a happy, healthy and kosher Pesach.

As a result, these staple products and ingredients are certified Kosher Sale of Chametz Form Power of Attorney

It is most important that all chametz is disposed of or sold before Passover. Although the nonJew usually sells it back after Passover, this is an entirely valid and legal sale. The chametz to be sold should be securely sealed away in a room or cupboard, which will not be used over Pesach. It is customary to empower the local rabbi to sell one's chametz and to sign the rabbi's contract. If this is difficult, please use the online mechiras chametz facility at www.kosher.org.uk/category/sell-my-chametz or fill out the form below.

FRESH PRECUT FRUIT & VEGETABLES

Precut fresh fruit and vegetables are not approved due to the fact that Citric Acid (potentially of Chametz origin) is commonly used to prevent discolouration. There is no problem with precut fresh herbs or herbs grown in pots. Chopped herbs should be avoided as they cannot easily be checked for infestation.

FROZEN FISH

Frozen fish, whole or filleted, is permitted, provided that no other ingredients have been added. It is advisable to rinse the fish before use.

Please note that when buying fish from a non-supervised source, it is important to make sure that some skin is attached. For a list of kosher fish, see The Really Jewish Food Guide or checkwww.isitkosher.uk.

As paper plates and lids for foil containers usually contain starch which may be chametz, some people prefer to avoid their use particularly with hot or wet food. The following products have been checked by the KLBD and found to be suitable for use on Pesach:

PERFUME

Perfumes contain alcohol which could be derived from wheat. However, since the alcohol is denatured and the perfume is inedible, it would be permitted to use on Pesach. Alcohol free perfume such as Beauty Base (www.beautybase.com) and Kuumba Made are available.

The following perfume companies have confirmed that the alcohol is not derived from wheat: BVLGARI Lush Sharini Yardley

Medicines This summary has been compiled by Rabbi A Adler BPharm MRPharms, a practicing pharmacist, in consultation with the food technologists of the London Beth Din. A full list of Medicines for Passover can be downloaded from our website at www.kosher.org.uk/passover, or alternatively check our superfast online search www.passover. isitkosher.uk.

General points regarding medication for Passover: • In general all solid dose tablets and prescribed capsules are in order for Passover use. Those who prefer not to take gelatine capsules are advised to ask their physician if they can prescribe the medication in an alternative form.

• When taking non-essential medicines, it is preferable to use tablets rather than gelatine capsules.

• Wherever possible, tablets or capsules should be used rather than liquid or chewable preparations, as these may contain ingredients such as sorbitol and glucose, which could be derived from wheat.

• Inedible creams, ointments and inhalers are all permissible. Those which specify chametz ingredients on the packaging (eg Aveeno cream, based on oats) should be avoided.

• Prescribed medication should not be altered without consulting a doctor.

Special Note About Medication for Children Most liquid medications for children (with the exception of some antibiotics from the manufacturers listed below) cannot be guaranteed free of chametz derived ingredients. If you are likely to require a liquid preparation for a child during Pesach we advise that you include these medications in your sale of chametz. Tell your Rabbi that they may need to be used on Pesach and he will accordingly arrange with the non-Jewish purchaser to allow such use if needed. In the event that it is imperative that your child uses the medication on Pesach, it may be taken from the chametz location, used as necessary, and returned.

ANTIBIOTICS

All antibiotics in tablet and capsule form are permitted. Sugar free varieties of liquid antibiotics should be avoided. If a doctor prescribes an antibiotic liquid for a child, it is preferable to obtain one sweetened with sucrose rather than sorbitol. You can ask your pharmacist for advice.

P Amoxicillin Suspensions (not sugar free) P Erythromycin suspensions (not sugar free) P Nystan Suspension P Nystatin Suspension (Sandoz) P Penicillin Suspensions (not sugar free) It should be noted that even though it is becoming more difficult to find antibiotic liquids, the following manufacturers still do use sucrose in some of their antibiotics: Actavis Aurobindo Bristol Flynn Kent LTT Medreich Pharma Pinewood Squibb

HOMEOPATHIC PREPARATIONS Due to the large number of homeopathic preparations on the market it is impossible to list individual items. If you are receiving a homeopathic treatment from a practitioner you should ask you practitioner to ascertain the source of your remedies.

Solid homeopathic products can be formulated either with lactose or with sugars e.g. sucrose.

Those formulated with lactose should be treated as Dairy and should not be used together with or after meat.

Liquid homeopathic products are often formulated with ethyl alcohol. This can be derived from wheat and should be avoided unless source of alcohol has been verified.
