Chief Rabbi Mirvis joins Young Jewish Care

Young Jewish Care patrons applauded Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis at a fundraising Friday night dinner last week.

The event at Kinloss synagogue, formerly headed by Rabbi Mirvis, was attended by 150 enthusiastic young professionals and raised X for Jewish Care’s Holocaust Survivors’ Centre in Hendon, which has an annual deficit of £413,000.

Rabbi Mirvis commended the guests “marvellous ruach”, a sentiment echoed by Jewish Care President Lord Levy as he encouraged young singles to mingle at the event.

Young Jewish Care chair Steven Altmann-Richer welcomed the guests and said he had “grown up as a member of Chief Rabbi Mirvis’ community at Finchley – he is a truly inspirational communal leader and is already a great ambassador for the entire Jewish community”.
