We regularly welcome guests from near and far, ranging from local school children studying Judaism as part of the national curriculum to visitors from all over the world.
Visits are tailored to fit groups' interests but typically cover the history of the Congregation and the building itself, and the Jewish form of worship. Also shown and discussed are the ritual objects that are to be found in a Synagogue, why they are there and how they are used. Talks can also be much more specific, for example life in a Jewish home including aspects such as dietary requirements.
Visits usually last about an hour. There are some steps at the entrance (ramps are available for access). Please note that we are unable to cater for visits on Saturdays, the Jewish Sabbath.
Please fill out this form if you would like to visit the synagogue. If you have any questions, please contact info@cheltenhamsynagogue.org.uk
No charge is made although a donation to help maintain our 2* Listed Synagogue would be appreciated.
