Lunch in the City - Chabad Brings in the Crowds

Tuesday, July 5, 2011 - 12:38 PM

Last Wednesday lunchtime 55 people came through Chabad in the City's doors to enjoy a tasty kosher lunch and meet other Jewish professionals working in the area.

Chabad in the City is Chabad UK's new offices and Centre based in Chancery Lane. Kosher lunch options in the area are few and far between so it was no surprise that so many people turned up. The event was a huge success and has encouraged the Centre to run this regularly during the year.

Those in attendance represented over 20 different firms from the area in various disciplines including Law, Banking, Accountancy and Journalism. Mark Levine, from Mishcon de Reya said, 'I didnt expect the food to be as good as it was, and it was also great to meet other Jewish professionals some of whom work only a stone's throw away!'

Rabbi Bentzi Sudak - CEO of Chabad Lubavitch UK - welcomed people to the event and addressed the crowd with a short Dvar Torah.

Aside from lunch events, Chabad in the City will be offering various other services from the Chancery Lane Centre including CPD accredited courses for Lawyers, One-2-One Learning Sessions, Guest Speakers and more.
