SOUTH WEST ESSEX AND SETTLEMENT REFORM SYNAGOGUE (SWESRS) is a thriving community with over 1000 households living in and around the Redbridge area. The synagogue is  one of the largest communit ies  in the region. It is widely recognised as a dynamic force both locally and within Reform Judaism..
This is reflected by the active involvement of our membership in all aspects of communal life, whether religious, educational, cultural or social. Not surprisingly, members soon come to regard SWESRS as an extension of their own families, sharing both the joys and sorrows of life, but always encountering sympathy and understanding.
Formed in 1956, with the aims of providing and maintaining a Reform Synagogue for the purposes of public worship and advancing religious and educational activities for the residents of Redbridge and its environs the congregation has achieved and continues to achieve its aims.
