Shabbat Services

Friday Night

Mincha and Kabbalat Shabbat commence in the Steinfeld Beth Hamedrash, the quarter hour on or after the commencement of Shabbat.

Ruach Kabbalat Shabbat takes place periodically at private homes: Winter 17:30 | Summer 18:30

Shabbat Morning

In the main Synagogue, a chumash shiur commences at 9am and the Shabbat morning service usually begins at 9:30am with Reading of the Torah at around 10am.

Each week, all services come together for a delicious and friendly Kiddush, to which everyone is invited.

Main Service

The main service offers a variety of styles from Choral Chazanut to more informal participatory services. For details of a particular week or Guest Chazan please see the calendar.

Our Visiting Cantor is Cantor Avreimi Kirshenbaum. Cantor Kirshenbaum leads services at St John's Wood on selected Shabbat during the year and over Selichot and the High Holy Days. Choral Services are accompanied by the Neimah Singers under the direction of Marc Temerlies or Jonathan Weissbart.

Participatory services in the main Synagogue are held on all other weeks and are led by Rabbi Yossi Binstock or other guest Chazanim.

Shabbat Afternoon

Mincha is approximately one and a half hours before the end of Shabbat. A shiur is given over Seudah Shelishit between Mincha and Ma'ariv. Maariv takes place at the termination of Shabbat.

Anshei Shalom

Anshei Shalom is an independent Sephardi Orthodox Synagogue located within the St John's Wood Synagogue.

It operates daily services and offers Shabbat learning, a weekday evening advanced study group and specific learning programs targeted at ladies, bride and groom and Bar and Bat Mitzvah participants.
