Stanley’s history at the Synagogue

“I became a member of the Central Synagogue when my family moved into the area in 1963. But for a very short interlude when I moved to Wembley, while still retaining my membership, I have lived in the area ever since. As proof, I remember the first years of our membership when our seats for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur were in the Wolfson Hall overflow service, packed out!

“A few years ago I was responsible for security and saw more of the outside than the inside of the Shul. I am an accountant and was a partner in a firm of accountants for nearly 30 years. During that time, I was head of the London audit and accounts department as well as serving on executive, remuneration and marketing committees. I specialised in media and FCA regulated clients, as well as a number of charities.

“I now do consultancy work and am also on the board of several charities as treasurer, including a national children’s charity. I am very much into sport and was fortunate to visit India in March 2011 to see the Cricket World Cup – an experience never to be forgotten.

“Times have changed and it is apparent that there is a return to this area and the Shul. We are exceptionally fortunate in recruiting Rabbi Lerer and Rebbetzin Naomi to our Shul who together with Chazan Steven Leas make a formidable team. I look forward to working with them and with my fellow Council members.”
