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 our Education Co-ordinator on 020 7286 5181 or education@ljs.org

Alternatively, you can attend a service and introduce yourself to the Rabbi or a member of the synagogue. Our conversion booklet goes into further detail about the process and can be viewed here. 

For security reasons, please contact the office on 020 7286 5181 so we can inform our security team of your visit.
