Welcome
Welcome to the Liberal Jewish Synagogue
At The Liberal Jewish Synagogue, known as the LJS, we combine respect for our Jewish heritage with positive acceptance of modern knowledge and an emphasis on leading ethical lives.
Members of both sexes play full and equal roles in every aspect of the congregation's religious, social and educational organisation. The LJS abides by the Affirmations of Liberal Judaism and is the founding member of Liberal Judaism (formerly The Union of Liberal and Progressive Synagogues).
Visitors are always very welcome. Please click for more information about visiting our synagogue.

What do you know about our mural???
The grand mural of the three pilgrim festivals which lines the wall between the Sanctuary and the foyer is by the painter William Utermohlen who died in 2007. It was painted for the old Montefiore Hall in the 1980s and was transferred into the new building in the early 90s. Last year, a team filmed the fresco and an interview with Rabbi Goldberg for a film about Utermohlen's life and work. He continued to paint while suffering from Alzheimer's Disease and charts his own suffering and loss through his paintings. To find out more about the film and how you can help go to Telling it like it is - a film about Bill Utermohlen.
