Chanukkah Appeal

The designs of these two new windows will symbolise the WLS community’s resilience and growth.

Together, these two new windows will enrich the Synagogue’s historical narrative, blending the heritage of the past with meaningful modern elements and reinforcing shared values of hope and continuity within the congregation.

Beacon of Light

This is a geometric design symbolising guidance and stability, whilst its brightness and deliberately positive style also picks up on our founding mission to be “a beacon of light” within and beyond Anglo Jewry

Tree of Life

This depicts an almond tree and wheat field and symbolises renewal, perseverance and hope which are all characteristics deeply rooted in Jewish tradition. Moreover, this window will serve as our covid memorial, enabling us to recognise all those members and loved ones of members who died during the pandemic.

Shards of Light

There will be almost 700 shards of glass in the two windows and, in order to cover the full costs involved, we are asking you to help by sponsoring one or more of those glass shards. If, as we do hope, you feel empowered to help then please consider sponsoring:

• 1 shard of glass for £100
• 5 shards of glass for £500 or
• 10 shards of glass for £1,000
