A Torah scroll brings communities together
We are delighted that we have been able to help be part of re-emerging Jewish life in Vilnius. At the end of August, Rabbi Tanya led a delegation of members to Poland, taking with them one of our Torah scrolls which has been presented to a young and growing Jewish community in Lithuania’s capital city, where Jewish life was almost destroyed after the Holocaust. Following a request for help from the World Union for Progressive Judaism (WUPJ), our Council offered the long-term loan, forging a bond between our two communities which we hope will only strengthen and grow in the years to come. Before the war Vilnius was one of the most important centres of Jewish life and learning in Europe.

Israel 2024
Our community joins in solidarity with our brothers and sisters in Israel in shock and revulsion at the terrorist incursion into Israel by Hamas on 7 October 2023. We mourn those who were murdered and pray for the release of the hostages who were kidnapped into Gaza. We support the communities affected and share our heartfelt care with all the people of Israel. As Jews who pray and act for peace we hope that the people of Gaza will be able to throw off Hamas tyranny so that Israel and Gaza can speedily come to live in peace with each other.
