Progressive Jews united at Edgware & Hendon Reform Synagogue (EHRS) for an all-night Shavuot celebration.

The EHRS community were joined by rabbis, leaders and members of The Liberal Synagogue Elstree, Kol Chai Reform Synagogue, Radlett Reform Synagogue and the Mosaic Reform, Liberal and Masorti Communities.

More than 150 people attended the evening service and dinner, which was followed by a series of study sessions throughout the night and a morning service held in the EHRS courtyard at dawn.

Rabbis from all the participating communities (pictured) taught classes and led services, meditations and song sessions.

Rabbi Mark Goldsmith of EHRS said: “This was a truly beautiful event with enthusiastic participation. Whether it was at the Shavuot dinner or the dawn shacharit, we all became one community.

“Together we accepted Torah in the true tradition of the Shavuot festival.”
