Members of the public are invited to visit the Milton Keynes and District Reform Synagogue in Giffard Park for a Heritage Open Day event on 10 September, 2023. There will be tours of the synagogue, a chance to view our Torah Scrolls (sacred scrolls), a multi-media exhibition and light refreshments.

The Jewish community in Milton Keynes is nearly 50 years old. Our synagogue building is over 20 years old. Our community comes from a wide geographic area stretching from Northamptonshire to Bedfordshire. We also come from surprisingly varied ethnic origins. Besides the common factor of being Jewish, we are also European, Middle Eastern, North American and South African in origin, bringing together our different Jewish traditions.

This event is also part of the Milton Keynes Heritage Open Days, the theme of which is “Creativity”.
