I am so proud to be able to twin my second Bar Mitzvah with Nachum Kagan

Geoff celebrated his 2nd Bar Mitzvah on
7 January 2023 at Chigwell and Hainault Synagogue

I am so proud to be able to twin my second Bar Mitzvah with Nachum Kagan with whom I share my Hebrew name and sadly died in the Holocaust.

We must never forget, and I feel privileged to be able to play my small part in keeping his memory alive.
