Ipswich Community

Town of Ipswich

The town of Ipswich, with a population of about 120,000, is situated on the estuary of the river Orwell in East Anglia.  It was a county borough until 1974, when it became a local government district of the administrative county of  Suffolk.

Jewish Community

There had also been a Jewish community in Ipswich in medieval times. In modern times, a Jewish congregation, sometimes referred to as the Ipswich Old Jewish Congregation, had existed in Ipswich from the eighteenth and disappeared in the latter part of the nineteenth century. Recently a Liberal Jewish congregation has been formed.

The following are the Jewish congregations of Ipswich
