Services

We worship together every Friday night beginning at 7pm.  We gather on the third floor of the Capital Club Athletic Center, and we enjoy a community dinner together in the same room. Check the calendar for specific dates.

We use prayer books from the American reconstructionist movement for our weekly worship service. Our services are lay-led. The weekly Dvar Torah is given by a community member and we try to emphasize learning and interaction. Our prayers are gender sensitive and we include women in our minyan. We pray in unison. Thus, we are reform in most of our practices. We are happy to accommodate guests in any way possible without disturbing the spirit of our community.

Services are open to all, free of charge, and require no reservations.  But for dinner, you should make a reservation by selecting the date from the calendar and filling out the registration form.  Members of Kehillat Beijing may pay for dinner with meal coupons.  Jewish students, or other Jewish Beijing residents of limited means, may dine free of charge as guests of the congregation.  Visitors may pay cash.   The cost for adults is RMB 140, students and children are RMB 80 and includes a buffet with soup, salads, main courses, side dishes, desserts, soft drinks and coffee.   Please contact us with any questions.

Visitors and tour groups please note: Prior sign-up is not required to attend services. If you plan to join us for Shabbat dinner, we ask that you please send an email notification.
