The fourth Shabbat Across The Mersey involved some 900 people - approaching half the area's Jewish population.

Starting with a pre-Shabbat Yom Ha'atzmaut party on the King David schools campus, it continued at a variety of venues, with a "switch it off" campaign encouraging participants to turn off their mobile phones at 7pm.

The Childwall and Allerton shuls were involved, as well as local Lubavitch and Rex Cohen Court.

In the communal spirit of the event, dozens of meals and care packages were enjoyed by people at home, in hospital and in the Stapely care establishment. This year's celebration extended to Shabbat day.
