Life-Cycle

We hold celebrations and ceremonies for all steps in the Jewish life cycle, including:

♦  Bnei Mitzvot for adults as well as youngsters.

♦  Baby-naming ceremonies.

♦  Marriage and Golden Wedding blessings.

♦  Burial.

Members are entitled to join the Liberal Judaism Burial Scheme which covers the right to be buried in one of the Liberal Judaism cemeteries at Edgwarebury or Cheshunt. It does not cover the cost of a funeral. For those wishing to be buried locally, there is a specifically Jewish area in Chatham municipal cemetery. Most other municipal cemeteries in Kent have unconsecrated areas which bereaved families may find appropriate for a Jewish burial. Alternatively, Liberal Judaism, unlike the Orthodox, has no objection to cremation. Woodland burials are also available.
