Provision for the burgeoning Radlett community will be increased with the opening of a new Lubavitch base on the high street within the next two months.
Building on a 10-year presence in the Hertfordshire suburb — where Jews account for almost a third of the population — the centre will offer coffee and kosher snacks during the day. Visitors will also be able to browse and buy a variety of Judaica and gifts.
It will additionally house youth programmes, including after-school clubs and informal courses, and evening events and educational sessions.
“The new place is intended to be a welcoming space for all Jews, with many opportunities to connect to informal Jewish life,” explained Rabbi Sendy Dubrawsky, who with wife Rochel administers Lubavitch of Radlett.
