Welcome to Kehillat Beijing!

Welcomeelcome to Sinogogue – the website of Kehillat Beijing, a lay-led Jewish community active in Beijing since 1979.  We hold Shabbat Services each Friday night and celebrate most holidays as a community.

You can find information about our activities, including Shabbat and holiday service times and locations, on this site. To get email updates about community activities, join our email list. If you have a specific question or request that this site doesn’t answer, send us a message.  And please join us on Friday night!
