Parents were asked to talk to their children, “making it clear that there will be zero tolerance of any such behaviour” in future.
Adults were also requested to “be alert if you see children playing with any of the equipment in a dangerous or damaging way. I’m sure we would all understand if another adult asked one of our children to stop if we saw them behaving in this way.”
Rabbi Mason told the JC: “We are thrilled that Muswell Hill Synagogue is growing, thriving and a very welcoming place for children. From time to time these things happen and our chair, Karen Ackerman, felt we needed to put steps [in place] to ensure that this doesn’t happen in the future.”
