Chair

Huw has been a member of Ruislip Synagogue for over 60 years, brought up in Ruislip, bar mitzvahed and married at the Shul. Although he has travelled the world with his business and lived fulltime for seven years in Singapore, Ruislip has always been his “home Shul”. He is honoured to be the Chair and help members in engaging with the Shul, both in religiously, as well as social events.
