My name is Jack. I have a daughter and son.
My daughter was married through EBMC by Rabbi Oliver and she has 2 daughters. I joined EBMC when my son Max was becoming Bar Mitzvah.
I teach many of the B'nei Mitzvah at the shul and a I frequently lead services and Leyn
I am looking forward to the day when we have a new shul building which will help attract more members.
The Mascoll-Blooms are a blended family who love to embrace their Jewish and Caribbean heritage.
We first started attending shul and events with SHEMA last year around Chanukah time and now I sometimes lead the children's service on Shabbat.
We really like that SHEMA is warm, welcoming, community and has a family feel to it andis super inclusive.
Our hopes are for the future of SHEMA are for it to keep growing and thriving!
My name is Alex and I joined SHEMA when it was EBMC back when I was about 14. I joined after my mum and dad got married My mum converted through Edgware Masorti so when we found out about a Masorti shul in Borehamwood we joined.
I am the Security Coordinator for SHEMA and. I ensure that we have enough Security to keep the community protected for services and events.
I love that SHEMA feels like a family to me. My hope for the future of SHEMA is to grow our membership get more people involved in services have more bnei mitzvah and weddings too.
I’m Barry Davis a retired hair stylist, my wife Edna and l moved down from Newcastle in 2009, we Joined Edgware Masorti.
What we loved about the Shul is it’s more like a family, than a community.
When my wife passed 22 months ago, l don’t know how l would have coped without the love and support l received from the Shul.
We are the Barnet family and we joined SHEMA in 2019 after we moved to Borehamwood. Rebecca converted through Masorti and Rory was born in 2022.
Over the last couple of years, I have been taking the children’s service most Shabbat mornings.
One of my favourite things about SHEMA is that everyone matters and is valued.
As a growing community, everyone can play a part and contribute.
As SHEMA continues to grow, I hope to see the children’s service go from strength to strength and to open up to more age groups.
