Services

   

Cheltenham is a traditional synagogue and services follow the Ashkenazi minhag.

 

Shabbat services are held throughout the year on Friday evenings at 7.00 pm, followed by a Kiddush, and we have occasional Saturday morning services.

 

Significant festivals, holidays and other important events in 2012 are as follows. Note that the Jewish day starts at sunset the day before.
