You may think running one shul and building with a wide-ranging membership is hard enough, but for Mosaic Jewish Community, the challenge has been running three under the same roof.

The unique shul in Stanmore, Middlesex, which is home to Reform, Masorti and Liberal denominations, celebrated its official opening on Sunday.

Leaders say the last year in the new state-of-the-art building  has worked “extremely well”, despite a few raised eyebrows at the possibility of three different strands of Judaism living harmoniously under the same roof.

David Leibling, chairman of MJC, described the project as “a unique partnership”.
