LUTON HEBREW CONGREGATION
Please contact our Membership Secretary, Mark, and he’ll discuss what options you should take. However,
you can enrol now by downloading the membership form, but we do advise talking to Mark beforehand.
There are various financial decisions to take and once decided, a form will be sent to you, fill it in and post it to Mark.
The new members form is then refered to our Rabbi, and he will also ask for Jewish documents, such as the marriage certificate,
Ketubah, to clarify. The enrolment is then approved by Synagogue Council members. A welcome letter is sent to you by our Administering
Secretary, Harvey and financial details are enclosed too from our Treasurer, Laurence.

This Community offers religious services and social events all year round. The religious services are in the usual structural order as found in many Synagogues in the
UK and the Hebrew is prounounced in Ashkenazi. There are many social events tailored for everyone and specific age groups for everyone to get involved.
There are structual orders to the services, and are to follow Prayer books called Siddurs (Daily), Chumash (Torah Readings) and Machzors (Festival Services).
The majority of the service is read and conducted in Hebrew, and all the books are bilingual with English text on the left hand page and the book is opened from the right.
Men and Women sit separately, separated by a curtain. We ask that the congregation not to talk during the services. We ask that all males, boys and men to wear head covering
and this also includes women who are married. We also ask that if the Ark is open, and the Rabbis’ sermon is been said, to not to enter either of the galleries.
No, you can come to any service at any time you want, and you’ll receive a warm welcome from our congregants. We do however, would like all visitors to pay respect to Jewish traditions
and rituals when services are carried. Please contact our Rabbi for more detials on sevrices.
