In 1975, a young man was invited to lead the services for the fledgling Heathlands Village shul.

That young man, Chaim Rose - known to all at The Fed as Rabbi Rose - could never have imagined the chain of events that accepting this invitation would set off.

In the nearly half a century since, the shul has grown in stature and function, often attracting more than 150 people for services on Shabbat and Yom Tov and becoming a warm, loving environment for anyone who crosses its threshold.

But more than this, the shul and its members have become essential to the very fabric of The Fed. Whether visiting ill residents, ensuring no-one is left out at the most joyous times in the Jewish calendar, strengthening the intangiable atmosphere of yiddishkeit around the site, or ensuring that everyone receives a proper Jewish funeral, today the Heathlands shul is a beacon of faith and friendship.

A place where everyone is welcome, where everyone is greeted with a smile, where everyone is made to feel part of a community, and where everyone is treated alike, the Heathlands shul community is today so much more than simply prayer services held at the Village.

Part family history, part tribute to five decades of devotion, this episode of Humans will surprise everyone with it's warmth, it's emotion, and the generational links that have unfurled thanks to those who call the shul their home.
