The Foundation for Jewish Heritage (the Client) is managing the production of a Feasibility Study for the grade II* listed Middle Street Synagogue in Brighton, on behalf of the building’s owners, Brighton & Hove Hebrew Congregation. The Study will set out options for the future development of the Synagogue, supported by an outline Business Plan that assesses long-term sustainability.
