Structurep governance and management
The CIRA became a CIO on 29 January 2020 with a Constitution after many years
of being an unincorporated charity. It is managed by an elected committee of 12
members of the organisation including the two trustees. We have held 5
committee meetings and one AGM duringthe period ofthis reporL All ofthem
and the AGM were held on Zoom. We shall recruit more trustees from among the
elected committee later in 2022. All are volunteers. We also have many other
volunteers who help run our dlfferent groups, in particular. a cross community
welfare support group. which has been very active during the pandemlc.
Our members are charged a small sub5crlption of £30 per annum per person.
Our Income Is derived from subscrlptions, donations. bank interest and gift aid.
We have been runnlng the Unincorporated CIRA CharEty and the Incorporated
charity side by side. Each charity has two bank accounts. one for the CJRA
general operation and the other for the CIRA Burial Society.
The Unincorporated Charity was finally closed in May 2022.
All Unincorporated Bank Cash Assets were transferred to the respertive CIO
bank accounts.
All Unincorporated Investments were transferred to CIO investment accounts.
We have approximately 150 ￿11 members and a few non-lewish associate
members. who receive our magazine.
Objectives and Artlvities
Our purpose is the advancement of the lewish faith through the provision of
religious services and burial. education to advance jewish culture. history and
knowledge and to provide welfare for those in need. We are always open to
those outside the Jewish faith, who would like to advance their knowledge of our

religion. history. customs and culture. Entry to most of our talks and events is
free.
We give financial support for the niaintenance of the Synagogue buildlng in
Thompson's lane. Cambridge. The University of Cambridge Jewish Society runs
the Synagogue with help from Jewish residents. Religious services took place In
person with strict ￿￿e5 during the pandemic, which have continued.
During the pandemic we were able to keep in touch with our members and other
tnterested persons through email and zoonL Our online talks saw a substantial
increase of attendees and we plan to continue thfis way. We were unable to hold
our usual Chanukah Party in person but on 5 December 2021 we held it online
by lighting the candles and eating traditional food from the comfort of our own
homes, listening to our locally based Kol Echad Choir. who sang a programme of
Jewish songs and ending with a quiz devised by one of our members. This was
an event open to all the Jewish groups in Cambridge and it was well attended.
We held In person an Israel Independence celebration on 5 May 2022 with the
screening of an Israell film, The Women's Gallerf in the Faculty of Asian and
Middle Eastern Studies in the UnlversSty of Cambridge. The introduction to the
film and the discussion afterwards were led by an Israell faculty member.
Our Evening Talks programme: There were eight talks, and these continued
online. They are attrdcting people of all ages often with thlrty devices and above.
The monthly Monday afternoon meetings ofthe Cambridge lewlsh Cultural
Association continued online and were well attended. We intend to hold
meetings in person over the summer month&
We have continued to send out In the post three magazines a year, which contain

community, as well as interesting artlcles and reports. In addition, an emall
