Rehearsing with 120 members of the community who have put themselves forward to be in Gareth’s FRS choir and during the Rosh Hashanah morning service (and again on Simchat Torah) Gareth will be turning the whole community into his choir, teaching everyone this new song and conducting so the community sing together. FRS wanted to create a way of holding the mixed feelings of this New Year and acknowledge the complexities of celebrating people’s survival of a pandemic and yet recognising how fragile it has left people feeling and how many were lost in this painful way.

An employee at the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) holds one of the vessels that are believed to have contained opium in the 14th century BC, found at the Tel Yehud burial site and on display at the IAA offices in Jerusalem on September 20, 2022. - Israeli experts on September 20 said that they had uncovered the oldest known evidence of opium use, after discovering residue of the hallucinogenic drug in pottery dating from the 14th Century BC. A joint study by the Israel Antiquities Authority and Weizmann Institute of Science found evidence that opium was used in burial rituals in Canaan, a ancient territory that roughly encompasses modern day Israel and the Palestinian territories.
