About BNJC

Brighton & Hove's Jewish Community Hub

This hub of Jewish life will be a beacon of Jewish identity with the power to cultivate interfaith relationships and make a lasting impact on the entire city. I hope that it will put Brighton on the Jewish map and the Jewish community on Brighton’s map.

Our Vision

Our vision is for Brighton & Hove to be a city where Jewish life is vibrant, accessible, and embraced by a connected community. Anchored by our dynamic hub, we empower individuals to engage with their Jewish identity, celebrate Jewish culture and heritage, and build meaningful connections within and beyond the Jewish community. 

We aspire to be a place of belonging for Jewish people locally, nationally, and internationally, and a cultural and educational resource for the wider community, ensuring Jewish life in Brighton & Hove can thrive for generations to come. 

Our Mission

Our mission is to strengthen Jewish life in Brighton & Hove by offering spaces, services, and experiences needed to support and foster a thriving Jewish community. 

We do this through a vibrant community hub that brings people together. We deliver outstanding kosher food, purposeful programming, and welcoming places to gather, learn, and celebrate. From our nursery, workspace, and restaurant to residential homes, we create spaces where Jewish life can flourish.  

We offer meaningful opportunities for people to connect across backgrounds and faiths to participate in Jewish culture in ways that matter to them. By making Jewish life more visible and accessible, we empower people to find their place and play an active role in the story of Brighton’s Jewish community.
