Jewish communities from across London gathered at Kingston Liberal Synagogue (KLS) for a day of singing and cake eating.

Led by Rebekka Wedell, director of music for KLS, the day saw members of South London, Wimbledon, North West Surrey and other synagogues join together to learn music from a variety of traditions including Ladino, Yiddish and Israeli.

The day culminated in a concert given to other members of the communities and a ‘Big Sing’.

Kingston choir member Rebecca Singerman-Knight said: “It was a really enjoyable and uplifting day. We had the opportunity to meet with members of other synagogues, to share our favourite songs with them and also to learn new tunes together. And also eat lots of cake!

“It was a wonderful way to spend a Sunday and we all hope that this will become an annual event.”
