Oliver said: ‘It was a pleasure to join in with early Rosh Hashanah celebrations ahead of next week with local residents in Shenley Synagogue. I thoroughly enjoyed making some traditional honey cakes for everyone and answering some very interesting questions.

Oliver added: ‘I would like to wish all those celebrating across Hertsmere, a happy Rosh Hashanah and hope for a sweet new year. Shana Tovah!’
