A first Masorti service is planned for Radlett next month as the movement looks to build on the success of its neighbouring St Albans congregation, which has grown to 300 members.

Masorti chief executive Matt Plen said that "a significant minority" of the St Albans membership was from the Radlett area.

In addition, "we know anecdotally that there are lots of people in Radlett who are attracted to our approach to Judaism but want to walk to shul. They want a local community."

It will be Masorti's first attempt at a satellite congregation and Mr Plen stressed that the St Albans shul would benefit.
