Rabbi Jonathan Romain has launched a scheme inspired by the Kindertransport to take in refugees from Ukraine.
The Maidenhead rabbi and other leaders from Reform and Liberal synagogues have called on Jewish families to host Jews fleeing the war.
Campaign co-ordinator Rabbi Romain’s mother escaped Nazi Germany on the Kindertransport. He is offering to host a refugee from Ukraine.
He told the JC: “We’ve had an amazing response both from rabbis themselves who are offering to host families, including one who is retired and said, ‘I live in a small flat but I’ve got a spare room and can help.’
