Affectionately known as WADS by its members, Watford & District Synagogue
prides itself in having a strong and charitable community spirit set within
a
comfortable, friendly and informal atmosphere.


Watford and District Synagogue is set in the characteristic Nascot Village, close to both the amenities of Watford town centre and the beautiful greenery of Cassiobury Park.  There has been a Jewish community in the town for almost a hundred years and yet from the ashes of the terrible flames, which destroyed the interior of the present building in 1993, grew a modern, air-conditioned shul serving approximately 200 families.

Led by Rabbi Ephraim Levine, the Watford community takes pride in its reputation as a friendly and welcoming Shul.  The communal events ensure that the spectrum of ages in its membership is catered for and members living locally find that the excellent transport links makes travelling into central London, 15 miles away, effortless.
