The opening as it read in 2015
Newcastle Reform Synagogue , also known by its Hebrew name Ner Tamid ("Everlasting Light"), is a member of the Movement for Reform Judaism .1It is located in Gosforth in Newcastle-upon-Tyne .2The community was founded in 1963 by children of German-Jewish refugees. After about 20 families had showed interest the previous year in forming a Reform congregation, assistance was sought from the nearest Reform synagogue, Sinai Synagogue, Leeds , who lent a Torah scroll and some prayer books. Services were held in homes, school rooms and church halls. In 1963 the newly formed congregation bought a Methodist chapel in Derby Street, off Barrack Road, in Newcastle. This was converted into a synagogue, function hall, school rooms and a caretaker’s flat, and the congregation grew. However, eleven years later, the congregation was served with a Compulsory Purchase Order and had to abandon the building. The present purpose-built synagogue was completed in 1982. A dedicated cemetery in North Shields has a prayer house, complete with facilities for tahara (ritual cleansing of the deceased).3 Lieutenancy of Tyne and Wear . 2013 .
