“I am delighted that our warm, friendly and welcoming community is thriving.”
In April, the 200-member shul held its centenary celebrations, which the Chief Rabbi attended. Feedback from congregants and guests had been “overwhelmingly complimentary”, Mrs Cohen said.
Although the shul does not have a rabbi, a diverse roster of guest ministers conduct services.
Mrs Cohen urged Shabbat regulars to invite friends to services to experience the welcoming atmosphere. “This is how we build up our membership.” In November, her son Hayden will be married in the shul, its first chupah in 20 years.
