Please join us in wishing Mazal Tov to Rabbi Aaron and Rebbetzin Miriam Lipsey on their appointment as the new Rabbinic couple of the New West End Synagogue!
With warmth, wisdom, and a deep commitment to Jewish community life, they bring renewed energy to one of London’s most historic synagogues. We look forward to welcoming them in January 2026 as they begin this exciting new chapter.
Stunningly beautiful from @MosaicVoices, the New West End Synagogue choir.

Tonight I light a #YellowCandle in memory of Pola Flajszer (aged 9), Joel Flajszman (aged 10), Leale Flajszman (aged 7), and Sarah Flaiszakier (aged 41).
May their memories be for a blessing.

Please join Jewish people from around the world from 3pm (UK time) tomorrow, the Fast of Esther, for a moment of mass prayer.
The Megillah recalls the dramatic moment Esther issues a call for prayer and fasting with the words: “leich k’nos et kol HaYehudim” – “go and assemble all of the Jews”. Tomorrow we will heed that same call, connecting remotely to a live broadcast from the Kotel and reciting the words of the Shema together. We will continue to pray for the safe return of the hostages from captivity back into the warmth of their families’ embrace.
The live broadcast will be available here: https://t.co/KC4dRLWsyP
Candle Lit Dinner & Piano Recital

Enjoy a delicious three course dinner, wine and wonderful music.
