10:30-12:15
Our regular Shabbat morning service is a contemporary Reform service led by one of our Rabbis, normally accompanied by our volunteer choir and the piano, with a combination of reading, chanting, song and reflection.
On most weeks there is also a parallel service, meeting the different needs of the community. Occasionally these services take place in our main Beit Tefillah.
10:30-12:30
Join us for our informal participatory minyan. The service, mostly in Hebrew, is chanted and sung and brings together diverse voices. Includes a space for children. All are welcome.
09:45 – 10:15
The return of our popular programme of Cheshbon HaNefesh (“accounting for the soul”) in advance of the High Holy Days. Join us for these brief times of reflection, study and contemplation before each of Alyth’s Shabbat services during Elul. You are welcome to attend every session, or to simply drop in when you wish, and no pre-booking is necessary. We only ask that when you come, you try to join at the start of the session. As we prepare for Rosh Hashanah, which the rabbis understood to be the anniversary of the creation of the world, this year’s Elul Half Hours will take each day of the story of creation and use it as a starting point for study and reflection.
