A Celebration of Rabbi Benji and Our Community’s Future

Rabbi Benji has touched so many lives in our community -  through his dedication to Judaism, Torah, kindness and us. His leadership has guided us through both joyous and challenging times, enriching our spiritual lives and strengthening our synagogue. As he leaves us to deepen his knowledge further, we wish to express our deep gratitude to him.

At the same time, as we search for a new spiritual leader to join Rabbi Kamila and Emeritus Rabbi Thomas in taking the synagogue forward, we wish to embed Rabbi Benji’s legacy and ensure our community remains strong, secure, and ready for the future. 

We are therefore inviting all members to contribute to a shared fund that will be split between a special gift for Rabbi Benji and the synagogue’s continuing needs. Every donation, no matter its size, is a way to both show appreciation and support the new chapters in the lives of both of Rabbi Benji and Westminster Synagogue.  To donate, please complete the form below. 

We also hope you will join us on Saturday, 28th June, for a special service to celebrate Rabbi Benji and wish him a fond farewell from our community. To find out more, click here.

Thank you for your generosity, for being part of this special moment in our community’s story, and for showing our appreciation to Rabbi Benji for all he has given us.

We do ask, when possible, for you to include the service fee for these gateways. Should wish to avoid the fee and instead pay by Bank Transfer, please click here for Bank Transfer details (you will need to be logged in to view) or contact the Synagogue Office if you are not a member of WS, and therefore unable to login.

If you are a member of our community, please ensure you login to your account before making a donation/payment. Should you wish to fill out the form but make payment manually at a later date, please select 'Bill my Account' on the next page.

If you have any issues with logging in, please get in touch.
