Welcome to the website of Hatch End Masorti Synagogue, also known as HEMS. 

 

HEMS is located in Hatch End, but we welcome members from a wide geographic area which spans Harrow, Pinner, Harrow Weald, Stanmore and Northwood. 

 

Our community is caring and inclusive; each individual is valued whatever their level of Jewish knowledge or observance. We are part of the Masorti movement, the fastest growing synagogue grouping in Britain today. Masorti is the Hebrew word for tradition and Masorti Judaism is traditional yet practised in a spirit of open-minded enquiry and tolerance.  [Continues below]                                                                                                           

Services are held every Shabbat and on occasional Friday nights. Our popular Friday night services are a special time for the community to get together to enjoy each others company and to share in prayer. Services take place monthly at members’ homes and are followed by a delicious informal communal supper. We also organise a number of vibrant social activities for young people via the Masorti youth group NOAM.
