Cardiff Reform Synagogue, Reform synagogue in Adamsdown, Cardiff, United Kingdom.
Cardiff Reform Synagogue occupies a converted Baptist Chapel from 1861 on Moira Terrace with distinctive period architecture. The interior provides spaces for worship services and communal meals in a calm setting.
The congregation formed in 1948 as Cardiff New Synagogue and held initial services elsewhere before moving to this location in 1952. The move reflected how Jewish community life was establishing itself in the city during the post-war period.
The congregation gathers here for Friday evening dinners and seasonal holidays throughout the year. These regular meetings connect worship and community life in everyday ways.
Visitors planning to attend Saturday services should notify the congregation by email in advance. Services conclude with communal meals, and checking ahead for exact times helps with planning your visit.
The building received funding to document how Jewish refugees from Central Europe adapted to life in Wales after the Second World War. These records preserve personal stories from people who found safety and community here.
