      The oldest Synagogue in Europe that held Services uninterrupted since 1701 is ‘Bevis Marks’ in London. This Bastion of Sephardi culture with its resplendent antique furnishings and decorations survived World War II unscathed, despite being situated in a premier target area for German bombs and rockets. It suffered however incidental damage from the terror assaults of the IRA. Join Walter in the tour given by the Shamash and curator Maurice Bitton and hear the magnificent Sephardi liturgical renditions by their Choir. Also: A political comment about the European Policy Chief Javier Solana.
