The Yeshurun is a mainstream orthodox  community comprising a membership approaching 400 families.

We are a traditional orthodox community whose spiritual and lay leaders refer to the Halachic authority of the Beth Din of the Federation of Synagogues.

Nevertheless, we believe it is important to welcome and encourage all Jews who wish to belong to our community, irrespective of their individual religious commitment. We therefore embrace and accommodate a wide spectrum of religious observance among our members. A majority, though by no means all, however are ‘shomrei shabbos’.

We support the people of Israel and the Jewish homeland, whose welfare we pray for every week. Yom Ha’atzmaut and Yom Yerushalayim are celebrated in the Shul. Many of our children have continued their studies in Israel and developed strong ties there – some making Aliyah.

The synagogue prides itself on being “large enough to matter yet small enough to care”, and most members of the community are known to each other. Because of this, Yeshurun remains a very friendly place and few visitors in shul are not approached with a hearty Yeshurun welcome.

We are committed to the wider Jewish community, and Yeshurun is not only an active constituent member of the Federation of Synagogues but frequently engages in cross communal activities amongst the other Edgware communities and beyond such as participation in communal Mishnayos learning programme and this year for the first time, Mitzvah Day.

Our members have played a major role in establishing both the community eruvim and the mikvo’os.

We provide all shabbat and daily services – please see our website for details.
