New Communal Website

The new website for the Leeds Jewish community is now up at http://www.lji.org.uk/.

The website contains information about the different organisations in Leeds, has the communal calendar with all the events in Leeds, and provides numerous ways of getting involved. The website will be a resource for the whole community and will be a way of selling our community to the wider Jewish world. It is in development and will be updated and built upon so that it will be a comprehensive guide to the Jewish community. Please check back,

What you can see at present is only the start! We also have the following plans for the website:

  • On each page of the website you will find striking, eye-catching contemporary pictures from around the community. This will help give a feel for life in Leeds
  • A comprehensive simcha guide providing details of such things as different bands, venues, toastmasters and printers
  • Fully integrated communal database- able to select exactly what communications you want to receive from the community
  • You will be able to buy books and other items from the synagogue bookshop from the website; as well as from other local Jewish businesses.
  • We hope to translate the website into Hebrew, and possibly other languages, to help sell Leeds to people outside Leeds.
  • The website will be home to an archive of the history of the Leeds Jewish community and include old photos
  • Volunteering and job bank
  • and more.....
