Film – Four Lions (2010)
In a satirical comedy about a group of Sheffield nitwits eager to wage jihad but unsure of how to go about it, Chris Morris (director) makes us think about what it means to be a young person from a Muslim background in Britain today.

Once again, sorry to mess people about but; no other venue has been found so Anwen has, very kindly, offered to let us have Airy Fairy on the evening of Wednesday 21st. Obviously, I don’t want to put her to any trouble unless people will be there so I need people to let me know if they will be coming.
Please contact ne.sheffield@paganfederation.co.uk or Lynn Rishworth as soon as possible.

Due to a booking clash, Airy Fairy is not able to host the Pagan Federation’s celebration of the Spring Equinox THIS TUESDAY.
If anyone is able to suggest an alternative venue, please contact ne.sheffield@paganfederation.co.uk or Lynn Rishworth as a matter of urgency.
Many apologies for this.
Sheffield and Balby Quaker Meeting met on Sunday 11th March and expressed their deep sorrow and outrage on hearing of the letter circulated by person or persons motivated by hate. Entitled “Punish a Muslim day”, the letter urges an escalating series of “punishments”. We Quakers wish to offer a hand of friendship and solidarity to all Muslim communities and invite people of all faiths and none to stand with them against racism and hatred.
No doubt most of us agree with this Quaker statement, further responses will be published shortly.
The Pagan Federation will hold a ritual celebration of the lengthening days at Airy Fairy on London Road at 7.30 pm on 20th March.
After the snow and freezing temperatures of the last week, won’t it be lovely to welcome Spring at last?
In our urban environment it can be easy to ignore the natural rhythms of the sun, moon, plants and animals- but the Pagan Festivals remind us of their importance.
Anyone who would like to join us will be welcome.
Organised by Sheffield Family Shaka (also called Bal Gokulam), a group of Hindu children & their parents.
‘Indian Cotton Heritage Show’ will include a shadow puppet show, a cotton clothes show, dance and Indian snacks. Bal Gokulam’s wall hanging should also be on display.
You are welcome to bring family & friends.

Zoroastrianism
Come and hear about the beliefs and traditions of this peaceful ancient religion. Daryoush Mehrshahi is one of the few followers living in Sheffield. Founded around the time that farming began in what is now Iran, it has influenced Buddhism and especially the Abrahamic religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

An additional event for Holocaust Memorial Day 2018
Sunday 28 January 2018
7.30pm Central United Reform Church, 60 Norfolk St
S1 2JB
A programme of live music led by Yiddish singer Phil Tomlinson and his klezmorim
in commemoration of those who were murdered in the Holocaust, and all those who have suffered from genocide, war and persecution.
Jewish songs from the Holocaust, with a particular focus on songs that were
composed or performed in the ghettos that preceded the Nazi death camps, will be
played.
These songs are intermingled with traditional tunes, together with brief readings. Translations will be provided for the songs and readings. Together,
the programme conveys life, love, loss, despair, nostalgia, resistance and hope.
An acknowledgement of Christian efforts to save Jewish lives will be included in the performance and there will be displays dedicated to Abdol Hossein Sardari, the Iranian diplomat that saved 2000 Jews in Nazi occupied France, and the role of the Grand Mosque in Paris in helping Jews.
Refreshments will be served in the interval and there will be an appeal for a refugee charity.
This is a Holocaust Education Trust registered event. Advance tickets will be on
sale from eventbrite.co.uk £4.50 + admin fee. Tickets £6 on the door.
Promoted by Sheffield & District Reform Jewish Congregation.
