Selichot:
This beautiful Service, held on the Saturday evening a week before Rosh Hashanah, helps us to prepare ourselves for the forthcoming Festivals.

Rosh Hashanah:
Rosh Hashanah is the Jewish New Year. Preparation is of body and mind, not just for the new year at hand but also righting anything untoward that we may have done in the past year.

Yom Kippur:
During 25 hours of contemplation within the community and using our special High Holyday Prayer Books, we can review our past year and look forward to the oncoming year, remember our departed dear ones and recall precious memories.

Sukkot:
Come, help us decorate our Sukkah. We need all the help we can get!

Simchat Torah:
Rejoice as we read the final verses of Deuteronomy, and then begin again with Genesis. We honour members of our community who have given devoted service to our Congregation. This celebration is followed by a special kiddush.

Chanukah:
We recall the wonders and miracles that happened for our ancestors at that time.

Purim:
We need no excuses to make lots of noise and dress up in silly costumes!

Pesach:
This is when we recount the story of the exodus of the Jews from Egypt, so that all of us throughout the generations understand it as if we had been there. Pesach is celebrated for 8 days for those of us outside Israel.

Yom Hashoah:
This moving and emotional Service enables us to commemorate our dear ones and the 6 million who perished in the Holocaust.

Yom Ha’atzmaut:
Rejoice on the anniversary of the founding of the State of Israel.

Shavuot:
50 days after Pesach, when Moses received the Torah at Mount Sinai, we give thanks and rejoice. Following the evening Service we enjoy a Tikkun Leyl Shavuot where we study and eat lots of delicious cheesecake in a convivial and friendly atmosphere.

Tisha B’Av:
We recall the destruction of the two Temples and other calamities in our long history, reading from Lamentations and other relevant literature.
