<!-- Actual Article Text Start --> Communities from across Radlett and Bushey were welcomed at an “uplifting” multi-faith celebration and service.

The event, hosted by Radlett and Bushey Reform Synagogue brought together Jews, Hindus and Christians this month.

Among more than 80 guests were Reverend William Hogg and members of Christchurch and St John's in Radlett, members of local catholic Churches including those from St Anthony of Padua, The Good Shepherd and St John Fisher, members of the United Free Church, the Sisters of Zion and members of the Hare Krishna community at Bhaktivedanta Manor.

They joined others from the St Mary's churches in Hemel Hempstead and Apsley, the Dacorum interfaith group, Chairman of Aldenham Parish Council, Councillor Ron Worthy, other parish councillors and Peter Hamilton, Headteacher of Haberdashers’ Aske’s Boys’ School.

Rabbi Freedmen and Student Rabbi David Mitchell read from the Torah scroll while Robert Wiltshire gave a sermon.

The visitors then witnessed the fixing of a plaque on the Tree of Life in memory of a deceased member, giving them an insider’s view of the RBRS community.

After the service many of the guests stayed for 'Kiddush,' a reception beginning with blessings over bread and wine. This was followed by lunch, where members and guests shared good food and common interests and got to know one another better in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

Synagogue chairman Gill Burn said she was “thrilled” so many people took part in the event.

That is cool to see. I love Jesus and I love Krishna. Can't beat the two of them, they are an unstoppable force.
