Despite the current national lockdown, Central remains open for daily services. We have taken additional precautions and further reduced capacity in line with United Synagogue guidance. We believe it is important to stay open for those people who feel comfortable and want to attend.

Friday night and Shabbat services must be booked in advance – priority goes to members of Central but others may apply:

All other services are open to everyone and you do not need to book in advance.

Central shul has been a full constituent member of the United Synagogue since January 2017.

Now is a great time to join us. The United Synagogue is the largest Orthodox Synagogal movement in Europe, made up of over 60 communities. Joining Birmingham Central United Synagogue means you get all the flexibility of being able to move between any US community without losing any membership rights or benefits. The US Burial Scheme is open to all members of Central as an optional alternative to any local provision.

As part of the United Synagogue, we are following guidance from head office where a team of people are constantly reviewing the current situation and advising us what measures we need to take as a shul and community centre.
