Worthing branching out under new management

Leadership of the small community in Worthing is to be taken over by the Sussex Jewish Outreach Group, established this year to support Jews in areas where there is no synagogue.

The move follows discussions with Ian and Barbara Gordon, who have organised activities for Worthing Jews for the past 15 years.

Outreach group chair Nick Beck wants to expand participation by involving those in neighbouring Chichester, Arundel, Bognor and Littlehampton under the banner of the West Sussex Jewish Community.

Mr Beck said that although the last Census showed at least 850 Jews living in the area, locating them was difficult. He hoped the enlarged community would bring more in.
