Educator and broadcaster Rabbi Debbie Young-Somers will join the ministerial team at Edgware and Hendon Reform Synagogue at the end of April as Rabbi Neil Kraft retires after 18 years with the congregation.

EHRS resulted from the merger of the Edgware and Hendon Reform shuls and has 3,500 members.

The appointment comes as its work with young families expands through the Nagila Kindergarten and the Tea & Tots programme, which attracts more than 100 under-fives and their parents on Sunday afternoons.

As community educator for Reform Judaism, Rabbi Young-Somers wrote the curriculum for conversion to Judaism, which will be incorporated into EHRS’s rapidly growing conversion class.
