Shabbat Times 25th Aug - 26th AugShabbat at Bevis Marks Synagogue
We welcome visitors from London and throughout the world to join us for any Shabbat at historic Bevis Marks; there is nothing quite like it. When you enter Bevis Marks you will feel yourself transported back in time, mesmerised by the authentic traditions and melodies of the Spanish & Portuguese Jews.
ACCOMODATIONS
There are a wide variety of hotel accommodations throughout the area. There are several hotels that are more ‘shabbat friendly’ and we are happy to recommend upon request.
MEALS
We offer Shabbat meals every week for both Friday Night and Shabbat Lunch hosted by Rabbi Shalom Morris. Please click here to book a Shabbat meal, or email rabbimorris@bevismarks.org.uk as he would be delighted to host you. Bookings must be made by at least the Tuesday prior to the Shabbat in question.
KIDDUSH
Every Friday night following services, everyone is welcome to attend our ‘Candles and Kiddush,’ for a light bite, socialising, words of Torah and songs. Shabbat mornings also feature a kiddush at the conclusion of the services.
If you’d like to sponsor the Friday night (£50) or Shabbat morning (£100) kiddush please contact Maurice Bitton at maurice@sephardi.org.uk.

Bevis Marks Synagogue is located relatively near many free museums including Museum of London, Tate Modern, and Guildhall Art Gallery. The synagogue is a ten minute stroll from the River Thames, the Tower of London, Tower Bridge, the South Bank Promenade, and a bit further to the Globe Theatre.
