ABOUT US

There has been a Jewish community in the Amersham/Chesham area for many years. In fact, there was a community during and after the last war as a result of evacuation from London, and a small synagogue was built in Amersham on the site where the British Legion Centre now stands.

The South Bucks Jewish Community (SBJC) was formally launched at the beginning of 1990 to provide a focal point for Jewish activity in Amersham, Chesham, Gerrards Cross, High Wycombe and the surrounding areas. In fact our members come from as wide afield as Tring, Aylesbury and Rickmansworth.

The Community practices Liberal Judaism within an atmosphere that is warm and traditional and prides itself on its informality and friendliness. We like to think of ourselves as one big happy family and our members consist of all ages and span three generations. We are a liberal community offering equal opportunities to both men and women and welcome people of mixed marriages. There is no formal dress code for our services.

SBJC is a constituent member of liberal judaism (was known as ULPS).

Mission and Vision - What we want to achieve for SBJC

Our mission statement is "to become the spiritual and communal centre for Liberal Jews, their families and friends in South Buckinghamshire."

What SBJC has to offer you

Our services are taken by Rabbi Rachel Benjamin and a variety of student rabbis and lay leaders. We have a dedicated religion school for the children, led by Rabbi Benjamin and adult education sessions. There are regular chavurah and many social events ....suppers, theatre outings, plus Judaica available locally.
For more information please contact our Secretary or just come to a service or social occasion, where you will be assured of a warm and friendly welcome.
