“Together we will ensure the United Synagogue continues to serve the British Jewish community in the widest possible way and I am looking forward to our first Trustee meeting together after the summer. I also want to pay tribute to Andrew and Barry for their years of service to the United Synagogue and thank them for their enormous contribution. You will be missed.”
