RABBIS AT THE DOUBLE
Bristol JSoc has gone from no rabbis to two in the space of a few months following the move by a Chabad couple to the area.
Rabbi Mendy Singer, with his wife, Chaya, moved from Brooklyn to the Cliftonwood area, not far from University of Bristol campus.
In what Rabbi Singer described as "kind of a coincidence and kind of a miracle", the couple have ended up living in a building that also houses Jacob's Well, a medieval mikveh known to be the UK's oldest surviving medieval Jewish structure.
Rabbi Singer's arrival comes after the University Jewish Chaplaincy appointment of Rabbi Avi and Laurie Rosten as resident part-time chaplains for the Bristol area, announced last month following an appeal by students and UJC for funds for the 150-strong Jewish society.
