Services

  • Our Services

    Central to shul life and at the heart of the community are the services which take place each and everyday.

    Every morning Shacharis takes place in the Beis Hamedresh; on most mornings, at two different times. Each evening we hold a Maariv service, and during the summer months, Mincha also takes place daily.

    On Shabbat we hold two services. An early service in the Beis Hamedresh and, for those who enjoy a longer and more traditional style, the main service is held in the main Shul. The services in the main Shul are led by a rota of various chazanim who each bring something different to the service in their own unique way, ensuring all tastes are catered for.
    Our choir performs on a regular basis throughout the year enhancing our Synagogue services. It is sometimes possible to request the choir to perform on Shabbat for a special occasion.
    The main service is also a great opportunity to hear the inspiring words of Rabbi Schochet in his weekly Sermon.

    The services are followed by a Kiddush made by our exceptional catering teams.

    Please do come and join us and we promise to make you feel very welcome.


    Shabbat Mincha
    will be approximately one hour before Shabbat terminates
    but the actual time will be as announced in Shu
    l and listed on the website.

    For full details of our service times, see the Calendar.

    Rabbi Stanley Michaels ran a Bar Mitzvah breakfast at Mill Hill Shul for many years. This enabled both fathers and sons coming up to Bar Mitzvah to prepare appropriately for their big day.
    We have relaunched with a new, revamped programme, including quizzes, prizes, etc.
    The "Stanley Michaels Bar Mitzvah Breakfast" is in tribute to a very special man who dedicated himself tirelessly to this. 
     



    Many of you reached out after Stanley's sad passing wanting to do something in his merit. Contributing to this special programme, to enable all Bar Mitzvah boys to have a thoroughly meaningful and enjoyable experience would give Stanley such immense joy and nachas. Please consider making a donation so we can continue perpetuating dear Stanley's legacy. You can make payments by clicking on the link below, selecting "Stanley Michaels Bar Mitzvah Breakfast" as your reason for making a donation.
