Muswell Hill Synagogue members have been urged to ensure their children’s good behaviour during festival services after damage was caused to its nursery building over Rosh Hashanah.

In a message to congregants, Rabbi David Mason and the honorary officers wrote “that the wonderful atmosphere on both days of Rosh Hashanah and the hard work that was put into making them run smoothly was blighted by the fact that damage was once again caused to the nursery property.

“Worryingly, children were also seen throwing tyres and bricks down from the fire escape stairs and fighting each other with broomsticks.

“It shouldn’t need to be said that this is totally unacceptable and dangerous behaviour.”
