Ealing Liberal Synagogue is a liberal synagogue in the London borough of Ealing affiliated with the Union of Liberal and Progressive Synagogues.[1] Despite its small size the synagogue remains an important part of Ealing life, also serving as a polling station in local, national and European elections. The current rabbi is Janet Burden, who has been at the synagogue since 2006. The synagogue and community play a valued role in interfaith relations in the borough. The synagogue also runs a Hebrew school for the community's children.

History

The synagogue building is a former church, built as a flat pack for fast and easy transfer across the British Empire. The synagogue itself was founded after the Second World War by Michael Simons.
