Where can we hear the oral histories and see items from the archive?

Thank you

I visited Brick Lane at the time. I did eventually achieve a BA Hons, but only wished I’d kept all my papers from that time!!! I was downsizing, so got rid of so much, including all my OU stuff. I regret it to this day.

I think they advertised around City offices, and got enough Jewish men signed up to agree to attend once a month, for old times’ sake. I wonder if this initiative has continued?

Something I also learnt was that cigar manufacture was a typical Jewish immigrant trade of the time. One of my g-g-grandfathers was for a time a ‘tobacconist’ and his brother-in-law and another of my g-g-grandfathers was this synagogue’s ‘repurposer’, Nathan Solomon Joseph

Rabbi Malcolm Gingold.
The personification of kindness was inside him.
Let his soul rest in peace.
He did so much for the poor and forgotten.
Buried at Rainham Cemetery Essex.
A humble man who never got his just reward.
In Yenevelt, the world to come, may he now receive it.
