Who is the rabbi of Brighton and hove synagogue?

Which one? There are several synagogues in Brighton and Hove. The Reform Synagogue's rabbi is, I believe, Rabbi Charles Wallach. The Progressive Synagogue has Rabbi Elizabeth Tikvah Sarah. Hove Hebrew Congregation (Orthodox) has Rabbi Hershel Rader. I'm not certain who runs the Chabad house, and Brighton's very famous Middle Street Synagogue as an inactive synagogue does not have a resident rabbi - though I believe Rabbi Rader and other rabbis do occasionally conduct services in the building. There are 4 operating synagogues in Brighton & Hove, plus Chabad and Chabad on Campus at Sussex University. The Rabbis are as follows. Brighton & Hove Hebrew Congration (Orthodox) Rabbi Rader Hove Hebrew Congregation (Orthodox) Rabbi Silverman Brighton & Hove Reform Synagogue: Rabbi Wallach Brighton & Hove Progressive Synagogue: Rabbi Sarah Chabad House, Hove: Rabbi Efune Chabad on Campus: Rabbi Lewis There is also a Brighton & Hove Community website at http://www.webjam.com/indi
