THE NEW LONDON SYNAGOGUE offers a unique blend of tradition and modernity. We are traditional in practice and non-judgmental in outlook. It is a special blend that we think is contemporary Judaism at its best.
The synagogue in St. John's Wood close to the centre of London, is one of the most beautiful in London and a joy to pray in. We are affiliated to the Assembly of Masorti Synagogues and the World Council of Conservative Judaism.

Mondays 15th and 22nd March at 8.00 pm - The Role of Women in Prayer Services
As part of consultations on the role of women in the prayer services at New London we are making two evenings available to members for study and consultation. Each evening will be split between providing an opportunity to share thoughts and wishes on this issue and a study of some the relevant sources in an attempt to approach this decision in a more religious grounded manner. You only need to attend one of the two evenings.
Friday 19th March at 7.30 pm - Join us for a traditional Friday Night Dinner (Cost £18 members £20 non-members) Our speakers are connected with London Citizens, an organisation that works for social justice, best known for their work on the Living Wage Campaign. We will explore what the Passover story - our most glorious narrative - means today, in this society still marked by a split between the haves and have-nots. What is our role, as Jews, in engaging with the challenges of today? How do all our Pesach preparations connect to the universal aspiration towards freedom? Please book your places by lunchtime on Tuesday 15th March.
Shabbat 20th March a sit-down Kiddush - You are invited to stay for a short "question and answers about Pesach" session with the Rabbi.
Saturday 20th March - Tots for Tea (for little people and their parents) at the home of Rabbi Jeremy and Josephine
There is no charge for this event but please contact the office to book your places.
Sunday 21st March at 6.00 pm (Refreshments served from 5.30 pm) NLS Film Club in association with the Friends of the Jewish Museum presents Yossi and Jagger, a multiple award winner, set on a snowy Israeli-Lebanese border facing possible Hezbollah incursions, and the fil has an unexpected sweetness and buoyancy. Knoller plays square-jawed, no-nonsense Yossi, company commander of an Israeli Defense Forces unit exhausted from sleepless nights anticipating an ambush. The handsome, fun-loving Jagger (Yehuda Levi), nicknamed for his rock-star appeal, is platoon leader and, unknown to all, Yossi's secret lover. The two arrange trysts by going off together on missions, and while Jagger begs Yossi to leave the army when the former's service is up, Yossi reminds him that real life is not a romantic movie...
