They have lived in South-West London and Leeds, where they and their two sons were involved in Sinai (Reform) Synagogue and hosted a monthly bible reading group.
They moved to Bournemouth a few years before Mr Roseman retired from his job as a business consultant, attracted initially by its Reform synagogue, local orchestral performances and “manageable” property prices.
Mr Roseman lectured at the local university until the age of 74. His wife also retired late from her role as a freelance translator.
They were involved in the establishment of the Wessex Liberal community, which has grown in eight years to more than 80 members, with a significant number actively engaged.
“Being involved in this community is such a positive experience for both of us,” the Rosemans say.
“We receive such support and friendship from members of Wessex and are delighted to contribute to its activities.”
