About us
We are a modern community with traditional values.
Our building has been a synagogue since 1882.
Our Masorti community, originally led by Rabbi Louis Jacobs, has been here since 1964.
Our Rabbis are Rabbi Jeremy Gordon (since 2008) and Rabbi Natasha Mann (since 2019). Our cantorial leads, David Djemal and Yoav Oved, joined in 2022.
That’s our history.
Come and be part of our future.
Weekly Words
Pesach is Two Weeks Away
It was Rabbi David Hartman who said, “I don’t care about people keeping Shabbat. I are about people keeping Erev Shabbat.” It’s all in the preparation.

Taking opportunities to reflect and begin to immerse in the themes, reasons and practicalities ahead of time gives us a chance to experience how and why this extraordinary Festival, with its extraordinary opening nights of ritual has forged our survival and thriving over centuries and embedded our greatest tale – the Exodus itself – in the consciousness of the world.
