Learn With Us
As a small community we do not run a formal Cheder however we do have individual lessons for those studying towards a Bar/Bat Mitzvah.
We often hold study sessions either after a shabbat morning service or around a particular festival. We also share information of learning opportunities through Leo Baeck College and The Movement for Reform Judaism.
Celebrate With Us
We hold regular Shabbat and festival services, sometimes led by a member of our community and others with the support of a visiting Rabbi or Student Rabbi.
We are here to support our members with the full range of lifecycle events from baby naming ceremonies through to Bar/Bat Mitzvah, Weddings and Funerals.
Convert With Us
In the Talmud (Pes 87b) one of the ancient sages said: ‘’ Proselytes are beloved by God’ and they are really welcomed by us. Some of the greatest teachers in our history trace their descent from converts including Rabbi Akiva and Meir. And of course, in Jewish tradition the future Messiah will trace their ancestry through Ruth, a convert to Judaism who was the ancestor of no less a person than King David.
Are you thinking about conversion? If so please begin by understanding the process is long. As the start of a lifelong commitment you will spend a full year being a part of our community before you embark on the formal learning which will take at least 18 months of regular tuition.
