Social & Leisure

One of the aspects that people find most rewarding about being Jewish is that it is part of a complete way of life. Rather than stopping at the synagogue doors, the community extends to all aspects of life. In Leeds, you will find a way to enjoy yourself and fulfill your interests regardless of what they are. Whether a thespian, a dancer, a historian, or even a dentist, you will find a way to express that interest, whilst at the same time developing a relationship with other Jewish people. The advantage of having a large community like ours, with over 8000 people, is that you will always find like-minded people to share the experience with.

“It is in vain to talk of the interest of the community, without understanding what is the interest of the individual.” This is the philosophy here where each and every person makes a difference and adds to the rich tapestry of communal life. You can take part as little or as often as you like. Why not then have a look at what is on offer and see how you can get involved. All the groups listed here are very welcoming and are always looking for new members. Become part of Leeds' extended Jewish family!
