Neighbors of the London Kabbalah Centre complained about excessive noise coming from its sukkah during the recent holiday.

In a formal complaint filed with the Westminster City Council, a neighbor said there was 36 hours of prayers, clapping and chanting between Friday evening and the middle of Sunday morning, the Evening Standard reported.

One neighbor told the newspaper that she left messages about the noise on the center’s answering machine on Friday and Saturday, and tweeted to someone involved with the center.

“As far as I’m concerned, you can’t do that in your backyard in the middle of London and without warning your neighbors. People live there and they know that,” she told the newspaper. “I appreciate that living in central London there are disadvantages, and some of that I’m prepared to live with – but just not this.”

More than 1,000 people use the center each week. Last year, the Westminster City Council authorized the construction of a large extension to the house.

Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow participate in events at the center.

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.

Now more than ever, American Jews need independent news they can trust, with reporting driven by truth, not ideology. We serve you, not any ideological agenda.

At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.

Readers like you make it all possible. We’ve started our Passover Fundraising Drive, and we need 1,800 readers like you to step up to support the Forward by April 21. Members of the Forward board are even matching the first 1,000 gifts, up to $70,000.

This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism, because every dollar goes twice as far.
