Community of Potential

Striving for an enhanced boost of Jewish life in NW6

West Hampstead has been identified by the United Synagogue’s Communities of Potential as an area needing imaginative Jewish provision. Working with Hampstead United Synagogue, these positions offer an exciting opportunity to build and support the established community while developing an entirely new offering alongside it. The Hampstead Synagogue is a friendly, modern orthodox community characterised by a rich mixture of tradition and forward thinking which we call ‘Minhag Hampstead’. Under the guidance of Rabbi Dr. Michael Harris the community combines an inclusive outlook with a belief in the importance of education and cross-communal dialogue.
