Hull’s small Reform community, Ne’ve Shalom, is suspending in-person services in light of the general rise in Covid cases.

Ne’ve Shalom vice-chair Aimi Sugarman said that congregants had been meeting regularly. “But because we’re an elderly community, we decided to stop face-to-face services until Chanukah. Our membership is 45 so we keep in regular contact and look after each other.”

Ms Sugarman added that the community was already planning its festival reopening.

“It’s to be a fish and chip supper with ‘seaside doughnuts’. And student rabbi Eleanor Davies will be joining us to make it a special day.”
