Fundraising campaign to save Whitechapel shul from state of disrepair
Jewdas is aiming to raise at least £5,000 to save the synagogue, and have started a campaign.
A group of young Jews are fundraising to help save one of London’s oldest synagogues on Nelson Street, Whitechapel.
The synagogue was promised money for restoration by Tower Hamlets mayor, Lutfur Rahman, but “the grant has been frozen, and is likely to be much lower in value if it is still given” according to the campaign page.
The campaign intends to use fundraising as well as bringing in new Jews to the community with religious, cultural and political events.
