Our Services

Of course, services are at the heart of our synagogue, when the community joins in regular prayer. Shabbat services are Friday night at 8p.m and Saturday morning at 11a.m. They last for a little over an hour and are followed by tea/coffee or a kiddush.
Children are encouraged to attend. Indeed, we believe that attendance at services is an essential part of every Jewish child’s religious education. We hold a monthly “family service” and a monthly Shabbat activity morning for parents with younger children.  Men and women sit together and women are encouraged to play a full and equal part in all synagogue ritual.
We use “Siddur Lev Chadash”, that was published by Liberal Judaism in 1995. This beautiful prayer book combines the best of familiar and traditional prayers, with much contemporary and relevant new material. We maintain a balance of prayers said in Hebrew and English, with much enthusiastic singing (and regular page number announcements!). The emphasis is always that those who join in our congregation should understand what they are praying, learn more about their rich and precious religious heritage, and come away feeling spiritually enriched.
