Birmingham Progressive Synagogue
Birmingham Progressive Synagogue has a variety of classes for adults , including an introduction to Judaism, Hebrew, study and discussion groups (full details can be found on our website ). We have a Cheder (school) on Saturdays for children aged 4 to 16, who are introduced to Hebrew and Judaism in a way that is informal and fun. The classes for older children are more discussion-based.
Solihull Synagogue Cheder
The Solihull and District Cheder, which is affiliated to the Community, has acquired a reputation for providing high quality education matched with individual attention which large Communities find hard to emulate. Currently split into five classes by age, under the headship of our Rabbi, it provides a full syllabus from age four to Bar Mitzvah or Bat Chayil. The Cheder has a fully-stocked library, video library and state-of-the-art computer centre.
