Who we are
Welcome to Norwich Synagogue
We look forward to welcoming you to our Synagogue, the only purpose-built Synagogue in Norfolk or Suffolk.
We have an active Congregation with a resident Minister. We hold regular religious services, educational activities and cultural events. Our lovely building was consecrated in 1969 following the destruction of our Victorian Synagogue in 1942.
A fuller history of the community can be found on this website.
Norwich Synagogue will be celebrating all the High Holy Day Festivals as usual.
