Rabbi Leah Leave: Cover Announcement
Rabbi Leah is going on 9-months leave, joining her partner Rabbi Benji in Jerusalem from September 2025 to June 2026.
We are delighted to announce the appointment of her cover for most of that period – Cantor Rachel Weston.
Cantor Rachel is currently the Religious Leader of Sinai Reform Synagogue in Leeds. She is also a highly accomplished musician and we are really excited to have an interim “year of music” at Kehillah to accompany our already fantastic Ba’alei Tefillah leadership team.
Cantor Rachel will be starting with us in mid-August and will be writing to the community soon to introduce herself.

WHO WE ARE
Kehillah North London is a thriving and diverse Jewish community, based in Stoke Newington. We are proud of our inclusive, friendly and innovative approach to building an intergenerational Jewish community. We are from many different Jewish backgrounds. Our community and leaders include Mizrahi, Sephardi, and Ashkenazi Jews, Jews of Colour, Black Jews, Latinx/Latino Jews, Asian Jews, mixed-heritage Jews and their non-Jewish families and chosen families, people who were born Jewish and Jews by choice. Children and adults of all ages are welcome and involved. Most importantly, we seek to ensure that no one is marginalised, and where we miss the mark in achieving this important goal, we commit to keep learning and continue getting there.
