Shenley United’s Rabbi Natan Levy will be leaving at the end of July.

Congregants were given the news at the community’s 10th anniversary celebration. The shul’s honorary officers wished Rabbi Levy and his family a successful future, adding: “We very much hope that we will stay in contact.”

The Californian-born rabbi said that “after four years as the rav of a uniquely special community, we felt it was the right time to move on”. He declined to discuss his future plans.
