About us
Ealing Liberal Synagogue (ELS) is a progressive and welcoming community synagogue for Jews who live or work in West London. We embrace diversity, welcoming all kinds of people from many walks of life. Our members come from a wide catchment area and you are likely to find neighbours you never realised you had. We embrace young families, working singles and couples, retirees – reflecting the full range of ages and stages of life.
We have offered a progressive alternative to the Jews of West London for more than 60 years. Started in 1943 by a group of people who were inspired by the inclusive ethos and progressive values of Liberal Judaism and the community has grown and flourished throughout its history so that today it is a thriving, vibrant and welcoming community.
Liberal to the core
ELS is part of the Liberal Jewish Movement which defines itself as “The dynamic, cutting edge of modern Judaism. Liberal Judaism reverences Jewish tradition, and seeks to preserve the values of the Judaism of the past while giving them contemporary force. It aspires to a Judaism that is always an active force for good in the lives of Jewish individuals, families and communities today, and equally makes its contribution to the betterment of society".
