articlemain

The BBC has found an unusual way to mark the 200th anniversary of the world's first Reform service this summer.

It is staging a live broadcast of BBC Radio 4's popular Any Questions? from Wimbledon and the District Reform Synagogue on Friday evening July 16.

Shabbat does not come in until after the broadcast, which will be followed by a commemorative service.

According to the BBC, it is the first time the show has been hosted by a synagogue since it began in 1948.
