The Fabric at Sandy's Row

Sandy's Row has now had its roof fixed, but there are still problems with the building - especially the floor and carpeting in the gallery: Here are two examples of problems that need addressing - there are far more.

Reverend Malcolm Gingold and Rabbi Jonathan Cohen at Bevis Marks

Reverend Malcolm Gingold has played an important role in the East End for several years now. At Bevis Marks he tries his best to keep the morning minyan going by arranging a rota. The morning shaharith minyan at Bevis Marks is now the last morning minyan in the East of London. Our numbers are low, and the regular attendees are not getting any younger. 

Here is Rabbi Jonathan Cohen, at breakfast at Bevis Marks on the morning of his departure to Israel ( he left us on Tuesday). He is expected back again at Bevis Marks for Pureem. His stay here this time around was brief, but productive.
