To balance the pornographic content, here is a synagogue
story. Friends had recently suggested I join them for the Friday night service at two synagogues in the Marylebone area.
The first one we went to was the Reform Synagogue at Upper Berkley Street. It
was a delightful evening. There was a small orchestra as well as a choir. The
tunes seemed to be a combination of Christian church music with some Andrew
Lloyd Webber thrown in. Altogether, there was a good atmosphere. The second synagogue was a failure. I meant to go to the conservative Marble Arch synagogue at Great Cumberland Place. However, the
security man prevented me from entering. I had no bags or luggage and would not have objected to a search, but he
was adamant that I should give him my name whilst I wanted to remain anonymous.
