Welcome to the oldest Ashkenazi Synagogue in the English speaking world still in regular use.

We welcome all Jewish people wanting to worship, regardless of orthodoxy. Please attend the services, especially males, to make a minyan. For Service Times see 'Service Times'. However, this Erev Shabbat Friday 11th August and next Friday August 18th the service will begin at 7pm instead of the usual 6pm. The reason is because we have Dayan Steiner staying in the Minister's flat with his wife and children, (although not all are still children). In fact on Shabbat August 19th there will be an uff ruff for one of his sons who is getting married in London on the 20th. This is quite exciting so do come and join us.
