About this space

Lined with imported Jerusalem stone, our beautiful Sanctuary is the heart of our venue around which the rest of the building is designed. 950 people can be seated over two levels to face the raised central podium known as the bimah

Whilst the Sanctuary is the LJS's prayer hall on Shabbat Friday nights and Saturday mornings, it has also been the venue for Conferences, concerts, hustings, lectures and performances.

Featuring specialist lighting and sound systems, it is an ideal venue for large capacity events.
