  • Bromley Reform Synagogue | Rabbinic Vacancy
    Rabbinic Vacancy – Notice The Post We are advertising to recruit a Rabbi to join our community. We can be flexible on start date to accommodate current commitments. This is planned to be a full-time position but we are willing to consider other possible working arrangements that would satisfy the needs of our community. A job description is appended to this notice. We are looking for a Rabbi who will support our community and leadership but also bring their own ideas and enthusiasm. The successful candidate will demonstrate qualities of religious leadership, will be active in a pastoral role and will be capable of facilitating growth of the community by taking a strong interest in encouraging prospective members to join, supporting new joiners and retaining existing ones. We believe that being our Rabbi is an exciting opportunity to join a very capable and smooth-running community and to make a difference. About us Our synagogue (Beit Or – House of Light) is situated in South East London, and we attract members from both the local area and from further afield extending into Central London and 50 miles into Kent. We have around 400 adult members. Our proportion of younger members has increased and we now have approximately 135 members under the age of 21 and about 50 families with children under the age of 15 years. We are very supportive of reform values. A high proportion of our membership is actively involved in synagogue life, attending services, working on our various committees and organising and participating in our many activities. The community has a deserved reputation for being welcoming, informal and inclusive.

  • Welcome to NEWCASTLE REFORM SYNAGOGUE Ner Tamid
    Friday 10. Jul 2020 Welcome to NEWCASTLE REFORM SYNAGOGUE נֵר ָתִּמיד Ner Tamid HOME OUR SYNAGOGUE SERVICES HIGHLIGHTS & EVENTS CONTACT US MEMBERS LOGIN Search Site COVID-19 UPDATE Dear members and friends, Unfortunately due to the evolving situation with COVID-19 and the government's new advice to avoid all forms of social gathering, we have made the hard decision to suspend all services. We are however implementing a number of measures to keep us all supported during these trying times. 1) Assistance/volunteer forms. One of the ways we can support each other is to help those who can't leave the house, for instance running an errand or having a phone call to help keep spirits raised. How can you help? We have created a simple form that will take less than 2 minutes to complete if you are able to support someone in need. https://forms.gle/iDt4ZsCYZMH48cqt9 We have also created a simple form for those who need to ask for help. https://forms.gle/xmSu77ykTRvSbKXN9 Please complete either as appropriate. You can use the same links to amend your information as your individual situation changes. We are forming a small team to help us coordinate efforts matching those who need help with someone locally (iff appropriate). If you have a few minutes to spare a few times a week to help with the coordination please contact Linda, Jo, Helen or Barbara. 2) Shabbat. Here are the links that can be accessed to follow live services. Although we have been given guidance, we are unsure as to how many of these will actually go ahead given that other Synagogues are also suspending their services.
