Rosh Hashanah / Yom Kippur
Rosh Hashanah will be a bit different this year. In place of our usual services in our marquee, we are holding a special shofar and tashlich event on the second day of Rosh Hashanah. Everyone is welcome but please observe Covid-19 safety regulations. We are also holding a zoom selichot evening, a zoom kol nidrei before Yom Kippur, and a zoom shofar / shema event after Yom Kippur ends. To let us know you wish to attend, please contact us. 
Succot
We have the largest Succah in Berkshire and it is always a hub of activity. This year things will be a bit different but we will hold a socially distanced succah event on the second day of Succot (Sunday). For more information or to order your lulav, please contact us. 
Children's Events
In addition to our weekly cheder, we have children's parties for Succot, Chanukah and Purim and other festivals. Specific dates are not usually published here, so to keep informed, please email us! 
Saturday Morning
Shabbat morning services are now on hold due to coronavirus but will restart soon. |
Friday Zoom Kabbalat Shabbat
Join us for our regular engaging and musical zoom Kabbalat Shabbat. Every Friday about 45 minutes before candle lighting. To let us know you wish to attend, please contact us. 
Zoom Havdallah
Join us every Saturday night after Shabbat as we sing together to say goodbye to Shabbat. This has been a wonderful way to keep the community together. Light your own candle or share ours over the ether. 
Cheder
Every Sunday morning during term time. We use the latest materials to teach Hebrew Reading, Festivals, Ethics and Prayer, catering to children from toddlers to teens. Our cheder is great fun – intellectually stimulating and socially buzzing. 
Children's Services
At JCoB, Children's Services are not special events, they are an intrinsic part of shul life. We include children in our services so that they feel welcomed and involved, often using their knowledge from cheder to teach their parents how to join in. We also hold separate children's services to enhance the children's experience and keep them engaged and excited about coming to shul. We also have a family shacharit service every Sunday morning before cheder (pictured). |
