Jewish Community of Berkshire

Since I moved to Reading, almost a decade ago, I've been visiting JCoB for services on occasional basis. What strikes me is the warm welcome from Rabbi Zvi and Rebbetzin Shira and their kids. Friendly congregation, such that I always come back. Very inclusive too.

A very welcoming community. The rabbinic family are beautifully musical which makes shabbat and festival services a joy. Services are informal and in warm weather are held in their beautiful garden. As the weather gets colder and services move indoors, they are covid safe as the community has invested in HEPA filters. Children love coming and are welcomed and catered for. Kiddushim have a variety of alcoholic drinks, snacks and cake so people stay and chat. Lovely community!

I owe a lot to JCoB. An amazing community.

Such a lovely, warm and welcoming community. We are incredibly sad to no longer live in the Reading area and often miss how hospitable its Rabbi, Rebbetzin, their family and other members were towards us - often going above and beyond. Shabbat services and festivals are organised very efficiently; High Holy Day services in particular are carried out beautifully and with a great amount of thought. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, I very much enjoyed Jewish life in Berkshire!

JCoB is a young, vibrant Jewish community with the only Orthodox Rabbi and cheder in Berkshire. I'm of course somewhat biased as the rabbi's son but we're a genuinely friendly community, have really fun, enjoyable services/events, and look forward to welcoming you to our shul!
