About us

Chabad Islington is a community for people from diverse Jewish backgrounds who are based around the N1 area. Founded in 2011 by young couple Rabbi Mendy and Hadasa Korer, who had a vision to breath new life into a community that has not been active for over 50 years. They aim to build an active, engaged and vibrant Jewish community that services the borough.

Mendy and Hadasa’s unique approach is non-judgmental, allowing all participants the opportunity to freely experience and question Judaism, with the understanding that a sustainable Jewish future depends on a passionate, diverse, and creative new generation. This community has been built by inter-twining fresh and diverse approaches with traditional values in order to generate a connected Jewish environment.
