I was completely unaware of the ‘orphan children’s seating’. Both heartbreaking and compassionate.

Such a beautiful building. So much anti-semitism here in Australia at the moment with synagogues being damaged, defaced and destroyed. Keep this wonderful place safe.

Several years ago I attended a Gresham College lecture at Bevis Marks which was candlelit for the event. The whole experience which included music in the Sephardic tradition was deeply moving and something I will never forget.
