Rabbi Gershon Silins, who was inducted as the minister of Norwich Liberal Community in January, is to join West London Synagogue as a part-time interim rabbi.
“We are lucky to have someone of his knowledge and background to help the rabbinic team," West London chairman Patrick Mocatta told congregants.
The Chicago-born minister, who describes himself as in his 60s, was among the 2019 graduates from the five-year rabbinical course at Leo Baeck College. He said then that those he served would have the benefit of a “freshly ordained rabbi with 30 years’ experience”.
Rabbi Sybil Sheridan, a part-time member of West London's clergy for several years, will leave at the end of summer.
