Thanks for this, Robthu! That's amazing, me and my dad were wondering what it said in Hebrew. Thanks! The Hebrew script is really quite beautiful, makes written English look rather dull.

Coventry Synagogue and Rabbi's house is at the corner of Barras Lane and Gloucester Street. It isn't used now but it is a listed building. It was still used regularly in the 70's when I lived near it. The Jewish community (which has never been large in Coventry) now use the Friends Meeting House. Coventry Synagogue

An unplanned walk around the cemetery yesterday. First visit for a good few years and was very impressed with the improvements. As an aside I filmed inside Coventry Synagogue earlier this year for their facebook page - a long, long way to go before it is fully restored but the owner Avi is a very determined & focused individual.
