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.

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, Progressive Judaism, unlike the Orthodox, has no objection to cremation. Woodland burials are also available.
