The Bournemouth Jewish Social Centre

An essential part of the social life at Bournemouth Reform Synagogue is the Bournemouth Jewish Social Centre, formerly called the Day Centre held on a Monday lunchtime. The Day Centre brings together Jews from all denominations across Bournemouth, and is a place for entertainment, good food and socialising. In 2006, the Day Centre celebrated its 25th anniversary. It is still one of the least expensive day centres across the country.

Famous quotes containing the words jewish, social and/or centre:

    “For a Jewish Puritan of the middle class, the novel is serious, the novel is work, the novel is conscientious application—why, the novel is practically the retail business all over again.”
    —Howard Nemerov (1920–1991)

    “The true use of Shakespeare or of Cervantes, of Homer or of Dante, of Chaucer or of Rabelais, is to augment one’s own growing inner self.... The mind’s dialogue with itself is not primarily a social reality. All that the Western Canon can bring one is the proper use of one’s own solitude, that solitude whose final form is one’s confrontation with one’s own mortality.”
    —Harold Bloom (b. 1930)

    “Here in the centre stands the glass. Light
    Is the lion that comes down to drink. There
    And in that state, the glass is a pool.
    Ruddy are his eyes and ruddy are his claws
    When light comes down to wet his frothy jaws”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
