Nottingham Liberal Synagogue enjoyed what congregants described as “an amazing Kabbalat Shabbat to remember” – when Progressive Jewish students from Sheffield and Nottingham joined together to lead a lively, musical, spiritual and fun service.

The synagogue’s Wendy Prestney said: “The two groups of young people, who had only met on Zoom previously, showed incredible leadership, warmth and connection as they brought a vibrancy and joy to the evening.”

A catered meal was provided for all in attendance, with at least one student commenting appreciatively “this is just like the food we have at my synagogue back home!”

NLS now hope to run similar events in the future.
