New London Synagogue

About NLS

New London Synagogue was founded in 1964 by Rabbi Dr. Louis Jacobs z"l as a congregation devoted to traditional Judaism with an ideology which interprets the Torah and Jewish teachings in the light of contemporary knowledge and scholarship. It has always been a pioneering congregation, leading the way to an enlightened Judaism and representing a rare combination of intellectual integrity together with loyalty to the finest traditions of the Jewish way of life.

We recognize that Judaism has always been a combination of tradition and change, an ever evolving search for an understanding of God's teachings and for the way of life which will be pleasing in God's eyes. It is our belief that 21st century Judaism can be flexible enough to meet the challenges of new times and firm enough to remain loyal to the core of Jewish tradition and practice.

Through its extensive programme of services, classes, lectures, life cycle events, Bar/Bat Mitzvah training, conversion classes and communal celebrations it provides its members with opportunities for religious, spiritual and intellectual growth.

New London is a sacred community- a group of people who are concerned and caring for other another, who respect one another, allowing for difference and divergence within the framework of the ideals of the community.
