Congratulations if you and your partner are planning to get married. Please contact Rabbi Paul Freedman if you would like discuss arranging a Jewish wedding ceremony. In order to be married under our auspices, you must both be Jewish. You are also welcome to contact the Rabbi if you are in a couple in which only one of you is Jewish (whether or not the non-Jewish partner is interested in conversion) and would like to talk through your options for marriage and the status of any future children.

We are extremely proud of our BM programme, supporting children and their families through this significant life-cycle event. Each year, over twenty young members of the congregation form a close-knit peer group, supporting each other and celebrating their transition to involvement in the community - and the world - as Jewish teenagers.

Funerals are arranged through the Jewish Joint Burial Society. (Membership of RBRS includes membership of the JJBS.) Please see their website for further details including a list of Frequently Asked Questions.
The JJBS, in conjuction with the synagogue, arranges both burials (usually at Cheshunt) and cremations (usually at Hoop Lane, Golders Green).
Evening prayers are conducted as required during the shiva period (the 7 days after the funeral) in the family home. Prayerbooks and 'shiva chairs' are available for collection from the synagogue office.
