The Welsh Jewish Cultural Centre project team was delighted to welcome Merthyr Tydfil's Council Leader on site this week, spending time talking him through our plans to bring the former Victorian synagogue back to life.
Councillor Geraint Thomas, Leader of Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council, visited the Synagogue to meet with project director Neil Richardson and Michael Mail, Chief Executive of the Foundation for Jewish Heritage - the charity which purchased the building with the aim of preserving and repurposing this historic building.
Together, they were able to look at the plans for the restoration of the building and share their vision for the creation of a new Welsh Jewish Cultural Centre. They also spent time at the meeting looking over the original deeds for the Synagogue, which were recently discovered and returned to the building.
