Vaughan’s maternal grandmother revealed to him that she was Jewish when Vaughan was 14 years old.
Vaughan is a passionate Zionist and displays an Israeli flag prominently on the desk of his office in the Burnt Pine area of the island from which he runs a real estate agency.
Rabbi Ingram told J-Wire: “Vaughan was proud and happy to don tefillin, with my assistance, for the first time in his life.”
