Kesher Talk

The community is small, but we all get on well together. We all work together, whether we are orthodox, conservative or reform Jews.

We meet twice a month, every first and third Saturday, for Sabbath services. We also celebrate the feasts and festivals, like New Year, Yom Kippur, Tabernacles... So we leave nothing out of the religious calendar.

The community is comprised of people of many nationalities - some from Portugal, Israel, others from Greece, Italy, Tunisia, France, The Netherlands etc.

We do not have a Rabbi because we do not have enough funds to pay for him. Every job is carried out by volunteers. However, we do have a “Chazan”, Reuben Oyahon, a lay leader who chants the prayers.
