Events and Services
The LJS holds weekly Shabbat services on Friday evenings and Saturday mornings, with additional festivals throughout the year
Friday Shabbat services start at 6.45pm, and Saturday Shabbat mornings at 11.00am. Coffee and tea is served from 10.15am before the Shabbat morning service, with a Kiddush served after the service around 1.00pm
Due to the Coronavirus restrictions, services are currently being held online at these times. Please see 'Streaming on YouTube' below.
Our services are led by the rabbis, who use the Liberal Judaism prayer books: Siddur Lev Chadash for Shabbat, and Machzor Ruach Chadashah for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. There are many opportunities for members to be involved in leading the prayers in both Hebrew and English. Music also plays an important part in our services and is led by a professional choir, as well as once a month by our members’ choir.
Visitors are welcome to join us for our services, with the only exception being the High Holy Day services when tickets are required. If you are visiting for the first time, please bring identification, and ideally please notify the office in advance on 020 7286 5181 so you can be assured of a warm welcome.
We also welcome groups interested in learning more about Judaism and about our stunning Sanctuary and unique Shoah memorial.
