About Newcastle upon Tyne

Newcastle was part of the county of Northumberland until 1400, when it became a county itself, a status it retained until becoming part of Tyne and Wear in 1974. The regional nickname and dialect for people from Newcastle and the surrounding area is Geordie. The city developed around the Roman settlement Pons Aelius and was named after the castle built in 1080 by Robert Curthose, William the Conqueror's eldest son. Situated in the coldest region of England, the climate in Newcastle is a cold oceanic one. Being in the rain shadow of the North Pennines, it is also among the driest cities in the UK. There are several major shopping areas in Newcastle City Centre. Newcastle was in the top ten of the country's top night spots, and The Rough Guide to Britain placed Newcastle upon Tyne's nightlife as Great Britain's no. 1 tourist attraction. There are concentrations of pubs, bars and nightclubs around the Bigg Market and the Quayside area of the city centre. There are many museums, art galleries and music venues.

Jewish History, POI & Kosher Establishments in Newcastle upon Tyne

No records have been found of Jews being resident in Newcastle before 1830 although there is a tradition that the community dates from 1775. It is thought, however, that over 500 years prior to this Jews resided in Silver Street (formerly known as Jew Gate). On October 8, 1832, the congregation was formally established. The cathedral bells were rung when the first synagogue, in Temple Street, was officially opened on July 13, 1838. The Newcastle Courant published a headline in Hebrew. With 3 Orthodox synagogues in Newcastle and a dwindling Jewish population eventually the running of the three Orthodox Congregations was considered as being uneconomical a new purpose built Community Centre and Synagogue was built in Gosforth at Culzean Park in an area in which the majority of Jews resided. A new Reform movement Synagogue was built in 1986 nearby and continues to flourish. There is thought to be fewer than 1000 Jewish people in Newcastle upon Tyne today.

What Is *JOFY?

JOFY, or "Jewish Observant Friendly" Establishments are lodging establishments offering special services for Jewish Observant guests such as Shabbat meals, accommodation on lower floors and regular keys for the rooms. It can also be a NON KOSHER establishment located in walking distance from the local Shul, community or kosher restaurants area.

Please note - *JOFY does NOT mean that KOSHER food is served on the premises!
