The article by David Newman entitled "A Community of Contradictions" ends  with the hope that the Anglo-Jewish community move beyond the internal constitutional barriers which divide synagogue organisations. He suggests that only the coming of the Messiah will do that. Is it a co-incidence that the front page features the  attempt by the non-orthodox synagogue authorities to do just that, break the barriers.

Did the Features Editor realise this, and is trying to pre-empt the coming of the Messiah.? The Jewish Chronicle has tremendous influence in all sorts of places, and can do all sorts of things. But this?
