Rabbi Dr Miri Lawrence said: “Our 80th anniversary service encapsulated the spirit of Ealing Liberal Synagogue. It was a day full of warmth, love and friendship which demonstrated the whole congregation’s commitment to our community and Jewish heritage.”

Councillor Aysha Raza, who is the Ealing cabinet member for tackling inequality, added: “It was lovely to celebrate 80 years of Ealing Liberal Synagogue being a key part of our local community.”
