Significant events
- “An exciting project is underway to restore the magnificent Sanctuary and rebuild the organ the last remaining wind organ in any UK synagogue. This ambitious undertaking will require 12 to 18 months to complete.”
- “The Movement for Reform Judaism and Liberal Judaism have voted to merge, with the new Progressive Jewish Movement becoming operational on 1 January 2026.”
- “A significant milestone was recently achieved when Rabbi David officiated over a mixed faith blessing under a Chuppah in the Sanctuary - a first in the synagogue's 185-year history.”
- “Since October 2023, the synagogue has endeavoured to maintain an appropriate stance regarding events in Israel and Gaza.”
- “In early 2025, the Sanctuary and Organ Restoration Project was launched with the aim of raising over £2m for the restoration of the Grade II listed building marking a pivotal moment in preserving our legacy. The project is due to commence in November 2025.”
