Named Shiur or City Shiur

Commemorate the memory of a loved one with a named weekly Bible Shiur taught by the College Faculty. We would welcome sponsorship of a City Shiur Lunch and Learn session. Sponsors are thanked in the LBC Annual Review which reaches over 2,000 influential academic, business and communal leaders in the progressive Jewish world.

College Library

Please contact the Librarian if you would like to make a donation to the College Library.

Volunteer at Leo Baeck College

Donating your time and experience to the College is deeply appreciated and helps us progress as an organisation. There are many ways in which you can be involved in our work which include admin support in our office, working in the library or serving on one of our committees in an honorary capacity. Only recently, one of our volunteers set up a wireless connection in the library which means that visitors can be connected to the internet whilst working on their laptops.

If you would like to register your interest as a volunteer  we would love to hear from you. Please contact Rhona Lesner.
