Yasher Koach Joseph. New terminology not to be confused with Rabbi Dr Louis Jacob's use of the term Minhag Anglia. He was referring to what he considered the English tradition of moderate and sensible Ashkenazi attitudes towards Orthodox Jewish practices, that were being forced out by the movement towards increasingly restrictive rulings from the United Synagogue Dayanim. Mixed gender choirs were an example that were dismissed in the 1970s and 1980s, despite being not only accepted but proud exponents of weekly and all holy day services. The choir or Dennington Park United Synagogue decamped in its entirety to the New London Synagogue down the road.
In the radio broadcast I heard American accents, but okay. Cultures are not hermetic, and this it is interesting what it means to create a British Judaism, but yes, I have written about this in the world of liturgical music
I know it! Sam’s great. I don’t think he actually rewrote the song, just performed it. I have considered doing a rewrite to change the meaning wholesale…
Thank you Joseph, this makes invigorating reading! Much to think about and act on.

Interesting. But from hearing a bit of the accents from those involved in miknaf ha-aretz, they sounded North American.
no, both British. Sara is Mancunian, not sure about Samson

So you have mapped out your life's work, Joseph!
Doesn't Sam Lee fit in here? with his interesting rewrite of the Jew's Garden? Wikipedia tells me he lives in Dalston, so .....
