A synagogue in Radlett now has two defibrillators, thanks to a donation from a local bridge group.
Radlett and Bushey Reform Synagogue was given £700 from the U3A Bridge Group and purchased the defibrillators through a scheme set up by the Magen David Adom, the Israeli medical emergency service.
A defibrillator is a machine that delivers an electric shock to restart the heart when someone is having a cardiac arrest.
About 60,000 cardiac arrests occur outside hospitals every year in the UK
Synagogue representative Madeleine Turner said: "Whilst we hope never to need to use these particular gifts, we are very grateful to the bridge group for them."
The U3A Beginners Bridge is one of a number of bridge groups that meets at the synagogue.
