The Shul is full as family and friends come and visit us for the New Year and hear the sound of the shofar.. Children’s and Toddler`s Services cater for all ages. Assisting the Rabbi, either homegrown talent or a visiting Chazan. On Rosh Hashanah, we have a communal Tashlich service by the sea which is only a 10 minute walk from Shul.

Prior to Rosh Hashanah the Torah mantels and curtains are changed over to the whites and the Ladies Guild clean all the silverware.

Chanukah

Every year since 2004 we have lit the giant Menorah in front of large crowds next to the Cliff`s Pavilion. Gala Night is very popular, held on the Synagogue site, on one of the nights of Chanukah. This communal event is for all after the lighting. Always in the company of dignitaries and donuts.

The evening of Purim is celebrated with the reading Megilah Esther. A Purim party and  Fancy Dress Fashion Parade for those who are in costume (both grown-ups and children!) with prizes awarded. Afterwards there is a buffet for all. The Megillah is read again during the Shacharit morning service on Purim Day.
