Members of West London Synagogue express our Jewish values not only by joining for communal worship and study, but also by engaging in work which will improve life for those outside our immediate community. Social action is a defining aspect of life at West London Synagogue, and many of our members, from religion school students through those who have celebrated their children’s or grandchildren’s bar or bat mitzvahs here, contribute to these efforts. We choose our Social Action schemes by consulting knowledgeable neighbours about unmet needs in the area. Responding to current needs, we have established a monthly drop-in centre for destitute asylum seekers as well as a winter night shelter for the homeless. We shall take on additional projects as our volunteer capacity grows along with our familiarity with what more we can do to help those around us.
