Brighton and Hove Progressive Synagogue
Founded in 1935, Brighton & Hove
Progressive Synagogue is a thriving congregation of over 300
people keen to pursue Judaism in a modern and thoughtful way
through a commitment to Liberal Judaism.
Shabbat is celebrated at 8pm on Friday evenings
and on the first Friday of every month we hold a Chavurah
supper starting at 7pm. Shabbat morning services take place
at 11am preceded by 'Fairtrade' coffee/tea and biscuits from
10.30am, and followed by kiddush. On the third Saturday of
every month we share a Chavurah lunch. We observe the full calendar of holy days and life-cycle commemorations
and celebrations. Religion School for children goes from age
3 to 15/16 and takes place on Shabbat mornings from 10-12.30.
There is a two to three year post Bar/Bat Mitzvah programme
leading to Kabbalat Torah, and from autumn 2004 KT students
will follow the GCSE Religious Studies in Judaism syllabus
and have the option to take the exam once they have completed
the course. Adult learning courses include daytime and evening
Access to Hebrew classes, an Access to Judaism evening programme
and Shabbat study before the Shabbat morning service.
Our synagogue undertakes a full social and cultural
programme, pastoral support of members, and social action
through projects concerned with a variety of issues, including
homelessness, refugees and the environment, often linked to
festival celebrations.
Visitors receive a warm welcome to share our communal life
or to hold conferences here. Disabled access to the building,
but not to the toilets.
