Our People

1879661340 Rabbi and Rebbitzen Epstein

Please join us in welcoming Rabbi Daniel and Rebbitzen Ilana Epstein to Western Marble Arch Synagogue. We wish them much Mazel and Bracha and we know they look forward to meeting you all soon.
1056064623 Rabbi Lionel Rosenfeld
We wish Rabbi Lionel and Natalie Rosenfeld Mazel Tov on their retirement.
 
Rabbi Lionel’s energy and passion for the community is only matched by his world-renowned voice. He is the fifth generation of a Jerusalem family of Rabbonim and Cantors, and is well respected for his composition of new Jewish music and performs at major events around the world with the Shabbaton Choir.
 
His long association with our community began when he served as our Chazan between 1988 and 1997 and returning as Rabbi in 2005. He is a passionate advocate for Israel, and with his wife Natalie, have four children and 14 grandchildren all living in Israel. The warmth and support that he and Natalie provide to all members of the community is shared with the many visitors who join us each Shabbat from all over the world.
