I have been on a visit to that
synagogue - it really is beautiful. The chap who showed us around was called Dr Mosse and what he did not know wasn't worth knowing. He was really
entertaining and knowledgeable. He told us the whole history of the synagogue and the community who built it - H Samuels and David Lewis all contributed -
lots of prominent families gave money for it to the built. Interestingly, the architects who desgined it were the same who designed the church further down
Princes Road - I think it's the welsh one they used to call "Toxteth Cathedral". It is gorgeous inside - like a little oasis of calm in the middle of the
busy city.

If anyone gets a chance to visit I would recommend it highly.
