Cockfosters and Gareth Southgate shul? It’s a suggestion

The United Synagogue has playfully pledged to change its shul names to honour England’s football heroes if they win Euro 2020.

It has announced on Twitter that trustees had agreed “they will rename Cockfosters and N Southgate Synagogue Cockfosters and Gareth Southgate Synagogue in honour of the England manager,” if England beat Italy in Sunday’s final.
