Services

Shabbat Schedule

Service times will change depending on the time of year. To ensure you are kept up to date with the correct service times please subscribe to our weekly newsletter or our services Whatsapp group.

Friday Night Kabbalat Shabbat

We have Kabbalat shabbat in the Synagogue every week followed by a Charcuterie kiddush.

During the summer months Kabbalat Shabbat is held at 7pm. During the winter the service will be held when Shabbat comences.

Shabbat Morning

Shabbat Morning service normally starts at 9.00am and is followed by a Kiddush that all congregants and visitors are welcome to join. We conduct our services at Holland Park in the traditional Spanish & Portuguese Sephardi Liturgy. While prayers are mainly recited in Hebrew, some are still recited in Ladino (Judeo-Spanish) – we even have our own customised additional prayer booklet. The customs of the community date back many hundreds of years and an enormous pride is taken by our members in ensuring that our melodies and customs are perpetuated throughout the generations.

Rosh Hodesh

We have a Shahrit service each month on Rosh Hodesh at 7am followed by breakfast. When Rosh Hodesh falls on a Sunday the service begins at 9am.

Sunday Morning Shahrit

On the first Sunday of each month we have a service at 9am followed by breakfast.

Yom Tov Services

We have Minha, Arbit and Shahrit services for all Chagim. The times and dates for these services are published in our newsletter and also shared on the Whatsapp group.
