Visiting a Synagogue

When visiting a synagogue there are a few things to remember. Men are required to cover their heads - this is the only requirement about dress. If the visit takes place while worship is in progress then men and women are required to sit separately, except in Progressive Synagogues, where all sit together.

In most cases worship takes place in Hebrew and so it may not be possible for non-Jewish people to understand what is said. The prayer books used in worship are often in Hebrew and English. At a Progressive Synagogue the service is largely in English.

Visitors are advised that the best time to attend a service is in the summer when they hold a civic service as this is planned with visitors in mind and will include prayers and readings in English.
