The oldest Ashkenazi synagogue in London is holding is first communal Shabbat meal for more than 25 years.
The Sandy's Row Synagogue, in the heart of the old Jewish East End, is holding the dinner tonight (Friday), in partnership with Chabad.
Rabbi Mendel Cohen, director of Chabad of Shoreditch, said: "For many the East End means a historical Jewish celebrated past. This Shabbat dinner will bring together an array of Jews from all walks of lives, ages and affiliation. There is a new young Jewish life presence springing up in the area."
