Nelson Street on Wikipedia

Details

The beautiful East London Centre Synagogue in Nelson Street (30-40 Nelson Street, E1 2DS) now features on Wikipedia, with an entry that draws in part from an article in JEECS magazine, The Cable.

The synagogue has an unprepossessing exterior but a beautiful interior and is one of the last functioning synagogues in the East End.

You can find the Wikipedia entry at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_London_Central_Synagogue

Richard Arundell, who contacted us via Facebook about the Wikipedia entry, wrote to say: “I also thought it possible that you might know of people who would be interested in adding content about the synagogue's history and architecture to the page.”

So how about it JEECS members and friends? As most of you will know you can add to Wikipedia entries quite easily if you have something interesting to say. And there is obviously a wealth of knowledge out there.
