At Sha’arei Tsedek: North London Reform Synagogue we pride ourselves on our reputation of being a forward looking, dynamic, inclusive and welcoming congregation with a strong ethos of engagement with the secular as well as the Jewish world. Since its inception in 1961 as Southgate & District Reform Synagogue by a handful of interested families, Sha’arei Tsedek has grown into a substantial communit
y of approximately 1000 adults and children, with a team of two Rabbis. We have travelled from Winchmore Hill and then to Southgate before moving to our current site several years ago. Our friendly services and wide range of activities are designed to suit all ages. These include our nursery, Alonim Kindergarten, Mishpacha (family) activities, Koleinu band, Lunch and Chat for the less young, many social events and activities, religion school, B'nei Mitzvah programme and an adult study programme as well as interfaith activities. We pride ourselves on our friendliness, providing something for everyone. Sha’arei Tsedek is very proud of its nursery, Alonim, which was assessed as Outstanding in 2015/16 by OFSTED. In addition we have a professionally staffed Religion School, a Director of Music and administrative staff. We depend heavily on members of the community to volunteer their time to support the work of the synagogue and have a strong team of lay leaders who work alongside our rabbi to meet the religious needs of all our congregants. There are also teams of volunteers who provide essential support to those members who are ill or in difficulties, who provide regular lunches and social activities for older members, who arrange Shabbat and festival services for families with young children, who support the work of our administrative staff, arrange social and cultural events, sell Judaica and gifts, sing in the choir, mentor new members and maintain the building. We have a variety of spaces and meeting rooms suitable for business meetings, conferences, a wedding or birthday party. Our small hall is suitable for large meetings, receptions, talks, classes, lunches, dinners, and fitness classes. It is also suitable for children’s parties and we can supply nursery furniture. This room also has full AV equipment. Our main hall is perfect for larger events such as Bar/Bat Mitzvah, wedding, conference or charity event. Both halls are air-conditioned, have AV equipment and contemporary lighting. The main hall can accommodate up to 160 people. We have full wheelchair access and disabled toilet facilities on the ground floor as well a loop system for the hard of hearing.
