As we prepare for a significant moment in the life of our community, we warmly invite you to join us on Saturday 28th June, for a special Shabbat service to say thank you and farewell to our inspirational Rabbi Benji Stanley.

Over the years, so many of us have been moved by Benji’s wisdom, compassion, and leadership - his words have brought comfort in difficult times and joy in our celebrations. While we feel the sadness of his upcoming departure, this Shabbat will be a chance to come together in deep gratitude for all he has given to our community: a vibrant and engaged congregation, grounded in tradition and full of promise.

Rabbi Benji’s time with us continues the legacy of those who came before him - Rabbi Harold Reinhart, Rabbi Albert Friedlander, and Rabbi Thomas Salamon - and we hope you will join us to honour Rabbi Benji and mark this meaningful moment together.

Do join us at 10:30am on Saturday 28th June to celebrate together as a community. You can RSVP for the service below, and click here to find more information about ways you can contribute and connect with this special occasion both on the 28th and in days ahead.

There are a couple of surprises planned as part of this occasion, so please do not mention them to Rabbi Benji!
