The North Western Reform Synagogue (also known as Alyth Shul) was founded in 1933 and is one of the largest Progressive synagogues in the United Kingdom. It has around 2000 adult and 900 child members, and is twinned with the Leo Baeck Community Centre in Haifa and to the Jewish community in Kerch, a city in Ukraine. It became a Fairtrade synagogue in 2006 [1], and is one of the largest synagogues constituting the Movement for Reform Judaism.
Alyth is a fully operational congregation with Shabbat services on Friday nights and Saturday mornings, youth and alternative services and events to mark major and minor holidays. As well as services Alyth also operates as a community centre, housing a kidergarten, senior club, Israeli dancing, a youth department, performing arts group and many one off or serial cultural events.
Alyth's Rabbis are Mark Goldsmith, Laura Janner-Klausner and Josh Levy. The Synagogue's Emeritus Rabbi is Charles Emanuel.
