Magen Avot
Magen Avot is 'a Shul and community initially setup and supported by Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis and the United Synagogue (US). We are located in the Nancy Reuben Primary School Hall (48 Finchley Lane, London NW4 1DJ).'[1] The Shul is part of United Synagogue (Charity No. 242552)
Support for the Israel Occupation forces
The Shul published a plea for donation to be given to UK AWIS 'on behalf and in honour of our departing Rabbinic family (The Kenigsbergs).' They noted:
- UK AWIS raises funds for many projects within the IDF. The unique essence of UK AWIS is the spirit of its members, volunteers and donors, who sincerely care for the young men and women serving in the IDF, as parents care for their own children.
- A number of members have kindly agreed to "match" donations received up to £3000 so our target should be at least £6000. We are so thankful to these members and encourage other members to give (however small) to this worthy cause and one that honours our departing Rabbinic family.
