Where to spend Rosh Hashanah in London?

August 25, 2007 1:58 PM

A young professional Jewish woman of my acquaintance is moving to London for about a year and would love to find some community that might be welcoming to a stranger for the holidays. Suggestions as to places to meet (reform preferred) Jews, websites, etc. would be welcome.

Conservative or Reform?

(look, I won't have time to follow this thread until Monday, email me if you need anything: but if she's Conservative the New London Synagogue is a good choice; if she's Reform, I'm sure the Sternberg Center can help her out)

You can find Reform (or, as they're called in Europe, "Progressive," or "Liberal") congregations worldwide by querying the World Union for Progressive Judaism's [WUPJ] website.

Here's the listing of all the Liberal congregations in the UK.

There's quite a bunch of them, so your friend may want to check out their individual websites to get a good feel of the culture of each individual synagogue.

Best of luck - and l'shana tova to her!

Reform preferred and thank you both for the suggestions.
