There is usually a single Orthodox service for all major festivals at which everyone is welcome. During Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur services, separate Progressive services and children's services are organised. Details of all these services can be found on the synagogue display boards, and in Community publications (weekly bulletins, and monthly newsletter) which are distributed to members. Visitors should contact connections@ojc-online.org. We want children to enjoy coming to our services, so we have set up various activities for children to participate in. If you would details of the children's services please contact connections@ojc-online.org. Enquiries can be made on the synagogue office phone (01865) 514356 or by emailing connections@ojc-online.org.  Details of times of the festival prayers will be available prior to the festival, please contact connections@ojc-online.org  

ATTENDING SERVICES
Everyone is welcome to our High Holy Days services. Whether you are attending the Orthodox or Progressive services, please note that no prior arrangement is required and that there is no reserved seating in any service. However, if you are attending Orthodox services, we ask you to respect our arrangement for the separation of men and women.

We regard it as our mitzvah to offer hospitality to any Jewish people who happen to be in Oxford, away from their home communities, at this special time of the year. Should you require a meal, please contact us on (01865) 514356 or email hospitality@ojc-online.org.
