Birmingham Central Synagogue is looking to become the latest provincial community to join the United Synagogue.
Members of the inner-city shul, founded in 1883, will vote on the move at an extraordinary general meeting next month.
David Korn, the Birmingham Central chairman, believes the move would not only "provide long-term security for the community. It would also help drive new programmes and initiatives that our current and potential members will be able to benefit from.
"The US provides a wide range of supporting services that would be of great benefit to us," he added.
"Also, we hope this could lead to a potential regeneration of Jewish life outside of London. We have a kosher shop, a mikveh and houses nearby which are one third of the price of London, plus the high speed rail link is on its way.
"We think many young people could benefit from moving to Birmingham and we would benefit from having extra members."
According to Mr Korn, the 200-member synagogue is first choice for Birmingham's large Jewish student population, being "relatively close to Hillel House.
"We have a very welcoming and warm shul so we are hoping that by raising the profile, more people will see this as a good alternative to London."
Two years ago, Sheffield became the first major synagogue from outside the Greater London area to join the United Synagogue. It is hoped Childwall in Liverpool will also join the US family over the coming months.
