Please note the new date for the BRS Race Night: Saturday 27 November. All the thrills and spills of the real thing, in the safety of the garden room. Look out for details of how and where to book nearer the time.
They are very early this year, and services will as usual be held not in the synagogue building but in Orpington. If you need details please call the office on 020 8460 5460 as soon as possible. Tickets will be issued as normal.
A large and lively group of cheder children, along with their families, friends and parents, enjoyed a fun event on the final day.
...a race night, a murder mystery, a car rally and a quiz are all in prospect in the coming year - and book early!
Dubbed the Aleph Team, with their "have cake slice will travel" attitude, they have baked and served cakes for Harris HospiceCare!
Services are held on Shabbat and for all festivals. Most are led by our minister, Rabbi Tony Hammond, using the standard Reform liturgy. However, there are occasional "experimental" services, mainly on Friday nights, when the format differs, and there is a great deal of opportunity for participation by lay members, many of whom also lead services when the Rabbi is absent.
Saturday morning services are at 10.30 am and last for between an hour and a half and two hours (except for the family services - see below) and Friday night services start at 6.30, 7.30 or 8.00 depending on the week, so please consult Highlight or ring the office if you are planning to attend.
Family services, which are held regularly through the year, are normal Shabbat services but with a difference. They are shorter (1 hour) with lots of participation, less formality, storytelling rather than a haftarah, songs and no sermon. There are sweets for the kids and small gifts for those with birthdays. Toys are available for the very young, and there is a bring-and-share cake kiddush after the service. People of all ages enjoy the atmosphere and families with children can relax and participate fully. There is no need to let us know in advance; just come along (you can obtain the dates from Highlight and e-light, or ask the office).
