FACING FAITH (6 December 2015)
Recreating a religious debate originally aired on ITV entitled 'Losing It', BBC Radio Merseyside's Roger Philips chaired a fascinating and lively discussion between LOHC's Rabbi Ariel Abel and renowned psychologist Prof. David Canter.

BENTLEY OPERATIC SOCIETY CONCERT
(29 June 2014)
The Bentley provided a great summer afternoon of music to round off a very successful season of performances. Most were Gilbert & Sullivan classics so of course there was much laughter to be had along the way.
JERUSALEM OPUS PIANO TRIO & CHAZAN MICHAEL ISDALE (11 November 2012)
In memory of Rev. Solomon Greenstein
Well over 100 people were captivated by the professional standard of this young piano trio from Israel, as they tackled pieces by Beethoven, Shostakovich and Lewandowski. Chazan Isdale, too, held the audience's attention with a selection of mainly Spanish and Portuguese pieces, interspersed with jokes and anecdotes.
A DAY OF PLEASURE (5 June 2011)
120 guests listened attentively to stories by Isaac Bashevis Singer
performed by actor Stuart Richman. London Born Stuart was
a founder member of the Liverpool Everyman Theatre in 1964.
While he has played theatre, film, television and radio over the years,
in venues large and small, this was his first performance in a
synagogue. He selected five stories from the Singer book
'A Day of Pleasure' which recorded the author's early life in
Warsaw, portraying a way of life that has all but disappeared.
CLASSICAL TO KLEZMER (10 March 2008)

World acclaimed and award winning 'cellist Colin, one of Princes Road's beloved sons, plays 'The 'Cello Suites' by J. S. Bach in memory of his parents.
SHIR (18 February 2007)
Shir attempts to be as true as possible to the original sound of the Klezmorim using acoustic instruments and drawing on the original Klezmer, Traditional, Yiddish and Sephardi repertoire, while at the same time catering for more “up to date” tastes in Jewish music with popular Israeli folk and dance tunes.
