Bishop Harold meets Rabbi David Singer
Bishop Harold has visited the synagogue on Somerton Road, north Belfast, at the invitation of Rabbi David Singer.
Rabbi Singer is the spiritual leader of the Jewish community in Northern Ireland which is one of the country’s oldest ethnic and religious minorities. Although the community is today down to under 80 members it continues to make a contribution to life in Northern Ireland out of proportion to its numbers. Belfast also boasts a thriving branch of the Council of Christians and Jews which is the leading nationwide forum for Christian – Jewish engagement
Bishop Harold said, “I grew up near the synagogue and it was a pleasure to meet Rabbi David Singer for the first time and to spend some time sharing together.”
