New Essex  Masorti is a warm and vibrant community, where anyone is welcome to enjoy and participate in traditional Judaism. We promote an inclusive approach to Jewish life, values and customs, recognise the role of both men and women, and welcome the active involvement of children in the life of our community.

Over more than twenty years, we have created a special sense of family and communal belonging and are proud that we have created a distinctively friendly community, where everyone counts, all are welcome and many great friendships have been made.

We have long believed that our community should be the logical and comfortable home for most traditional Jews and their families.

The Synagogue offers a series of adult education programmes, including a monthly learning programme led by the Rabbi and a regular Shabbat morning study session before the Shabbat service begins.

We run exciting programmes for our children and youth that foster Jewish identity, a love of Judaism and Israel and a commitment to activism and social justice. Our activities range from weekly clubs, summer camps in Britain, Europe and Israel, and weekends away, through to intensive leadership training, social action projects and a year programme in Israel.
