Shir Hayim, Reform synagogue in West Hampstead, London Borough of Camden, England
Shir Hayim is a Reform synagogue located at 37a Broadhurst Gardens in West Hampstead. The building functions as a space for prayer services and community activities throughout the year.
The congregation was founded in 1975 as Hampstead Reform Jewish Community and developed as a Reform Jewish presence in North London. It later merged with another group to form a larger community organization.
Rabbi Larry Tabick led the congregation during two periods, from 1976 to 1980 and from 1990 until 2017, guiding religious education and traditions.
The building sits in an easily accessible residential area with good connections to other parts of London. Check ahead for service times since the space is primarily used for the community rather than public tours.
The name Shir Hayim means Song of Life, pointing to the role music plays in this congregation's religious practice. This choice reflects how a community expresses its values through the language it chooses.
