This is the exclusive site of the NORTHWOOD BRANCH
(arguably the best Branch) of the Jewish Association of Cultural Societies
known as "JACS". The organisation was founded in 1978 as the
brainchild of Annette Pearlman. A small
working committee was set up and agreement was obtained from Stanmore Synagogue
to hold weekly meetings at it's premises.
An
executive committee was formed headed by the late Annette Pearlman as Chairman
and the late Rev. Saul Amias as President. Mr Louis Goodman was invited to
chair and form a committee at Stanmore and to sit on the executive. Mrs Bell
Myers was then appointed Secretary to the executive. The Stanmore Branch was
inaugurated in May 1978. The aims and objectives of the JACS organisation were
to provide weekly meetings for the active retired and semi retired professional
and business person.
In 1978 a new organisation was
formed for the active retired and semi-retired. Doubters said that it would
never get off the ground. Now it is one of the largest organisations within the
Jewish Community. And what of the future? We offer a challenge to the
next generation of newly retired to come forward and carry on where we leave
off, to expand our organisation and it's activities and to carry it forward to
the 50th. Anniversary, interested? then come and visit us.
