"Came without an appointment and was so kindly welcomed to visit after asking and was shown the special items of their collection by both the kind Secretary who then called the Rabbi. He kindly took me around pointing out the amazing history, items and places of importance in the shul. Then was honored to meet the elder Rabbi Gabbai who was so welcoming and kind. A visit that will remain with me for all my days! The hospitality and warmth was absolutely amazing and Abraham could not have treated a ‘strange visitor’ with more warmth."
