Friends of The LJS
The LJS was the first synagogue in the UK to invite non-Jewish partners and people who have identified with the Jewish community to associate themselves with us by becoming a ‘Friend’
Friends are welcome in all aspects of synagogue life (excluding a vote at general meetings) and their involvement and commitment to the synagogue is both encouraged, and valued
In addition, the LJS remains one of the few synagogues in the UK which permits non-Jewish partners to be buried next to their Jewish partners at our cemetery in North West London. See the Cemetery section for more details
Choosing Judaism
We welcome any individual who wishes to become Jewish. If you are interested in conversion to Judaism, please contact one of the Rabbis via 020 7286 5181, or rabbispa@ljs.org. Alternatively, you can attend a service and introduce yourself to the Rabbi or a member of the synagogue. Our conversion page can be viewed here, where you can also view our booklet on converting to Judaism.
