Time Capsule Discovery
By Laura Seddon
Our builders have made an astonishing discovery of a time capsule hidden in the historic synagogue’s walls.
The sealed glass jar was discovered by a builder hidden deep in a wall cavern within our synagogue. Filled with money, synagogue papers and newspapers, these original artefacts are dated from the synagogue's foundation in 1873.

OUR CREATIVE ACTIVISTS
In our latest Trailblazer, a group of young people will become Creative Activists as they explore and share stories to commemorate Holocaust Memorial Day. Inspired by real life stories past and present, they are creating a powerful act of sharing and connection that considers how we learn from history whilst looking to the future.
