Friday Night Shabbat Service

We are thrilled to invite you to a special Friday Night Service, led by Rabbi Gili from Nottingham Liberal Synagogue, marking a truly historic moment—the first Jewish service held in Derbyshire since 1986.

For nearly four decades, Derbyshire has lacked a formal Jewish gathering for prayer and community worship. Now, as our Derbyshire Jewish Community continues to grow and reconnect, we are proud to bring this meaningful tradition back to our county.

Join us as we welcome Shabbat together, embracing the warmth of community, tradition, and spirituality. Whether you are familiar with Friday night services or experiencing one for the first time, this will be a friendly and inclusive event where everyone is welcome.
