It is my pleasure to introduce you to Edgware Masorti Synagogue and its many activities through the pages of this website. Founded in 1984 by 10 families, our stunning synagogue and community centre was opened 1996. We seek to approach Judaism in accordance with Halachah in a non-dogmatic way, combining traditional Judaism with a modern understanding of religious thought and practice.

We have created a synagogue where Jewish observance and worship are conducted in an inclusive, tolerant and open environment. All are welcome to participate and we are proud of the warmth of our services and our educational, cultural and social events.

Our services are davened in the traditional way, using the Singer’s Prayer Book and members are encouraged to lead services, leyn from the Torah and participate. We have mixed seating and both men and women are counted in the minyan, called to the Torah, leyn and read Haftarah. Women do not lead services or wear kippot or tallitot.

Through our services and activities, our excellent Cheder and adult study programme, our social and study events, our commitment to care for, and about, each other and our links with the other Masorti Synagogues, we try to reach out to all Jews, whatever their level of Jewish observance or interests. We are a caring community and would be delighted to welcome you to our synagogue family.

For further information please do not hesitate to contact me, our Administrator or one of our Honorary Officers at the Synagogue.

Rabbi Dr Jeremy Collick
