COFFEE MORNING & TALK
Please come along to enjoy a pleasant Sunday morning with friends, and admire the GOLDEN THREADS REAWAKENED tapestry,
which is to be displayed in our Community Centre.
Before our regular cake auction takes place, we will hear the remarkable story of Hedwig’s Golden Threads,
which inspired the tapestry’s creation.
Hedwig Philip was a German Jew who escaped the Holocaust with her husband in 1941 and settled in Pennsylvania.
The golden threads she collected to embroider a Torah mantle there were brought in a box to Newcastle in 1951, and lay unopened for 70 years, until they were rediscovered by her granddaughter Cathie Wright in 2021. These historic golden threads were used to weave the 16 modern secular panels that form the tapestry, joined together by gold braid from Hedwig’s box.
Coffee, tea and sandwiches will be served. Home baked goods are needed for the Cake Auction.
Please bring along any items wrapped and labelled Parev or Dairy.
Minimum donation £7.50
