Hi everyone
This is my first attempt at blogging so please be patient with me till I get the hang of it.
I can't help but wonder at the way communications have leaped forward over the time I have been in Sheffield. When I came I had no idea what a computer was or how to use one. Some years later before windows was born, mitt mazel und brocho, Mira Burchhardt gave me her late husband's Amstrad word processor. This is now the equivalent of something prehistoric in computer years but it did the job for me at the time. Now I'm blogging! Oh well if it gets anyone to shul it's worth it.
Rabbi Golomb
About Me
- Rabbi Golomb
- Sheffield, South Yorkshire, United Kingdom
- Rabbi Yonosan Golomb was born in 1963 in Sutton in Surrey where his father was a junior minister. Most of his childhood was spent in London where he attended Lubavitch schools. At 16, he went to yeshiva in Brunoy south of Paris, France for three years, returning in 1982 to London the newly opened London Yeshiva for a year. In 1983 the Rebbe sent him to help boost the newly opened Manchester Yeshiva and from there to Montreal in 1984-5 where he received his semicha (rabbinic ordination). He married Faige Rochel (nee Simon) in November 1985 in Manchester and their first year of married life was spent in New York in Kollel (Higher education for married men). They returned to Manchester just before their first child Malka Doba was born. In 1987, they joined the newly opened Kollel in Leeds and in May 1992 moved to Sheffield to become our Rabbi. The Golombs now have 12 children and one granddaughter.
Congratulations for boldly going where few Rabbis have gone before.
ReplyDeleteDear Rabbi Golomb,
ReplyDeleteMazal Tov on the new website, which provides the internet surfer with a glimpse of the very warm, caring country community of Sheffield - a Jewish community with a Jewish heart.
For more ideas to add to your website, such as previous editions of the Shull Newsletter, maybe check out the South African Union of Orthodox Synagogues website www.uos.co.za.
Mazal Tov too on your Blog. What your "About Me" fails to mention is the tremendous chesed you, your Rebbetzin, and family are involved in on a daily basis, not only for the community you serve, but also for students and overseas strangers visiting Sheffield.
May you, your good Rebbetzin, your family, and your community be blessed with material and spiritual blessings far beyond each one's desires.
Good Shabbos from Johannesburg, where the Autumn temperature daytime average 25 degrees C.
