Vicar Heston Groenewald and Student Rabbi Anna Dyson's friendship goes back a long way, to when Heston first arrived in Leeds over a decade ago. They met through Anna's previous project, ToastLoveCoffee a social enterprise community cafe in Harehills, and have since formed a friendship based on mutual respect, willingness to 'go there' and talk about the difficult stuff, and through that share a deep commitment to modelling kindness, respect, friendship and support across our faith backgrounds.

​

When Heston invited Anna to be his church's 'Rabbi in Residence', Anna didn't think twice, and so this coming year, 2026-7 / 5787 is a year of experimenting and playing with the foundations of their friendship, now as All Hallows, and Nefesh Leeds.
