Comedian and writer David Baddiel entertained the 225 guests at Leeds Jewish Welfare Board's annual dinner on Sunday with excerpts from his recent show, Fame Not The Musical, which has a strong Jewish context. Opening the event, Dr Jason Broch, chair of Leeds North Clinical Commissioning Group and a LJWB supporter, spoke about the importance of the voluntary and charity sector. The event, held at Etz Chaim Synagogue, raised £75,000 for LJWB mental health service Neshama.
