Rosh Hashana - Link and Learn
2026-09-13 16:30 - 19:45 (Europe/London)
Learn together, then walk to the sea.
Sunday 13 September 2026.
Learning 4:30pm to 6pm.
Mincha 6:15pm.
Walk to the seafront for Tashlich, about 6:55pm to 7:45pm.
Before the new year properly lands, we are getting the whole community in one room to learn together. Not a lecture, not a service, something for everyone at once.
There is a strand for every age. Nursery age little ones learning alongside a parent. Parents sitting down to learn with their teens. Couples in an interactive class of their own. And plenty more happening in between. You will find your corner.
When the learning wraps, we daven mincha together, then we walk as a community down to the seafront for Tashlich. Standing by the water, emptying our pockets, thinking back over the year tha t was and forward to the one coming. It is one of the quiet highlights of the whole chag, and it hits differently when you do it together.
Free to attend. Let us know you are coming by Thursday 10 September.

Sukkot is here, the sukkah is up, and we are filling it with pizza and the best people we know. This one is for the youth. Come down, grab a slice and hang out under the stars in a decorated sukkah with your mates.
There is no agenda and nothing to sit through. Just good food, good company, and the particular buzz of eating pizza in a hut you would usually only pop into for a blessing. Whether you are here every week or you have never come before, there is a place for you. Bring a friend, bring your appetite, bring nothing at all. Just turn up.
