Fantastic end of session as we visited the synagogue. Thank you to Mr Michael Black our host for the evening. The boys learned about the Holocaust, the kinder farm in Millisle, the history of the Jewish community in Northern Ireland, the fact that the present president of Israel, Isaac Herzog, grandfather, Chaim Herzog, was born in Belfast in 1918. We learned a lot about our Jewish community, less than 100 in Northern Ireland. What a wonderful evening. Thank you Michael. As a token of appreciation and thanks the boys presented Michael with a kippah which had the Star of David embroidered on it. He said each time he wears it he will be thinking of the boys of 8th Carrickfergus BB.
