Birmingham Central Synagogue, Orthodox synagogue in Edgbaston, Birmingham, England
Birmingham Central Synagogue is an Orthodox synagogue in Edgbaston with a main prayer hall, community spaces, and educational classrooms within its modern building. The facility was designed to support an active Jewish community with dedicated spaces for worship and learning.
The congregation began in 1883 within a private residence and moved several times over the decades. The building reflects how the Jewish community in Birmingham grew and adapted to its changing needs.
The building preserves Ashkenazi traditions through daily prayer services and Torah study sessions that form the core of community life. You can observe how these practices remain central to how the congregation gathers and worships together.
Contact the office in advance to arrange attendance at services, as security procedures and capacity limits apply. Planning ahead ensures you can visit at a time that works for both you and the congregation.
Six original etched glass windows from the previous building were carefully preserved and integrated into the current structure. These windows connect the site's past to its present space and show the continuity of the community's story.
