The Guildford Synagogue has reopened after extensive renovations, enhancing its facilities while preserving its historical charm. This revitalization marks a new chapter for the local Jewish community, with plans for fresh programs and initiatives that invite both old and new members to engage in its cultural and spiritual life.
Participants at the synagogue recently enjoyed a delightful challah baking class, where they learned traditional techniques for making this beloved bread. Guided by experienced bakers, attendees kneaded dough, braided beautiful loaves, and shared stories and recipes. The event fostered community spirit and connection.
The synagogue hosted a cozy movie night, inviting community members to gather for an evening of film and friendship. Attendees enjoyed popcorn and refreshments while watching a family-friendly movie that sparked laughter and conversation.
