Welcome to Sukkat Shalom, the Edinburgh Liberal Jewish Community

Our aim: to provide services and activities which embody our values, strengthen our Liberal Jewish identity and cater for the wide diversity of our members’ faith, practice and support needs.

Our services: we hold Erev Shabbat services on the second Friday of each month, and Shabbat morning service two weeks later. On other weekends (except during July) we hold an early evening Kabbalat Shabbat service.  For details see link to the diary below. We welcome visitors to any services and we like it if you contact us before you come so we can welcome you properly.

To contact us: go to our contact page or phone 0131 777 8024.


Full details of all Sukkat Shalom events and services  with times and venues (we don't have our own shul) can be found by following this link to our diary page
