WEEKLY FRIDAY NIGHT SERVICES

Our community’s minhag (tradition) is to meet weekly for Friday night Kabbalat Shabbat services at 6:30 pm and on line via ZOOM.   If you would like to join us, please e-mail bjc@jewishbarbados.org.  If you already receive our weekly community email the meeting code for each week’s Shabbat service is included in the text of the email.

During the Winter season (Hannukah to Passover) we meet in the historic Nidhe Israel Synagogue in downtown Barbados. See Location  

During the Summer season (Passover to Hannukah) we meet at Sha'are Tzedek Synagogue, a residential synagogue located in Rockley, Christ Church.  See Location

Time: At both locations services begin at 6:30 pm unless otherwise noted on our Calendar/Events page.

HIGH HOLIDAY SERVICES

The community hosts a visiting “lay rabbi” to lead us in our High Holiday celebrations each year. We have had the pleasure of having the Blumenfeld family from New York join our community for over 20 years.  These services are held at the air-conditioned Shaare Tzedek synagogue on Rockley New Road. Visitors are welcome; please inquire at bjc@jewishbarbados.org.

COMMUNAL SEDER

The community hosts a communal Seder, at the Shillstone Social Hall in the Nidhe Israel complex.  This program is member-led and is open to visitors by reservation.  Please see our Calendar for details about this year’s Seder.

VISITING MEDICAL / UNIVERSITY STUDENTS

We encourage Jewish faculty and students of Barbados’ many graduate and medical institutions to join us for all of our services. We offer free tours of the Nidhe Israel Synagogue and Museum for visiting students and academics. Inquire at bjc@jewishbarbados.org.
