Rabbi Simon & Sarah Mandel

Chaplains: Sarah and Simon Mandel (and Gila, Yonatan and Chana)

Shalom to all Cambridge students! We are the new chaplaincy couple, Simon and Sarah Mandel and we would love to introduce ourselves.

Simon: “I have been studying in Yeshiva for the past seven years while denying that my main interests also include football, squash, tennis and desserts. I would really like to get to know you all so don’t be too surprised if you get a call or email from me inviting you out for a drink.”

Sarah: “I am the creative force behind Simon’s appetite for desserts. For the past four years I have been managing an organisation called NGO Monitor and another institution called the Mandel family.”

The Kids: “We are Gila (five), Yonatan (four) and Chana (two). We don’t understand why all British children walk around the supermarket so calmly when the isles are so wide and you can run and hang off the trolleys. Other than that we understand everything perfectly.”

We live at the same address as the previous chaplains – 6 Alpha Road, feel free to pop in anytime for some food and drink and to introduce yourselves. We would really love to see you at all the regular weekly events (see term planner for details) and you are also invited to our welcome barbeque on Thursday 15th October at our home, and our channukah party later on in the term.

Wishing you an enjoyable and successful term,

Kol Tuv
Sarah, Simon, Gila, Yonatan and Chana
