Bromley Reform Synagogue, Reform synagogue in Bromley, England
Bromley Reform Synagogue is a place of worship for the Jewish community in Bromley, identifiable by its interior design elements. The sanctuary uses light wood and glass throughout, a design that reflects the Hebrew name Beit Or, meaning House of Light.
The community was established in 1964 as Bromley & District Synagogue and relocated to its present building on Highland Road in 1967. This move marked an important moment in establishing a permanent home for the congregation.
The congregation follows Reform Judaism principles where men and women participate equally in services and sit together throughout the building. This inclusive approach shapes daily community life and makes the space feel welcoming to visitors from all backgrounds.
The synagogue operates a Sunday morning program and a religious school for children aged 5 to 14 years old. These sessions focus on teaching Hebrew language and traditional Jewish practices.
Young people in the pre-bar and bat mitzvah classes can receive funding to attend summer camps run by the RSY-Netzer youth movement. This support allows many teenagers to have immersive religious and social experiences beyond their home community.
