After many occasional visits to officiate at the Arnside Road Synagogue Rabbi Zev Saunders has not only agreed to run our Shabbat services but will also be available during the week to perform the very important pastoral duties which our community has lacked for so long.
He takes over from his younger brother Yossi who is leaving after over a year as our minister and chazzan. He ensured that we have always had someone to run our Shabbat service and we wish him every success in his new full time job based in London.
Rabbi Zev will be available to visit members of the community in hospital or in their own homes. He will be pleased to give any spiritual or religious guidance or just have a chat.
He will endeavour to make contact with as many members of our community as possible but if you particularly want a visit or a chat, ring Sue in the shul office to make an appointment. He is a very approachable young man and we wish him every success in his first post as communal Rabbi.
As only a visitor now to Arnside, as I live in Sussex,it is fantastic to see a new Rabbi in the town!! When I lived in Southport many yaers ago, it was seat allocation only for Rosh Hashanah..please God those days are coming back. And MAZELTOV to the new Rov Zev!! I look forward to visit again soon..this Rosh Hashanah.
