The circus will be coming to Ealing Liberal Synagogue on Saturday night – with its rabbi among the performers.

Rabbi Miri Lawrence became captivated by circus life three years ago at the age of 54, shortly after finishing her doctorate in Jewish history.

“I found that I had more time on my hands,” she explained. “I had gone to see some people doing aerial yoga. Then I saw that there were these places that you could learn to do hoops and trapeze. 

“I signed up and have really enjoyed it. The community is so inclusive. You’re welcomed. I immediately loved the performance side of it and the people I met.”
