Venues and Tickets

Traditional and Egalitarian services will take place within our own building and at the Avenue at Henlys Corner. Tickets for these will be issued by email to all community members.You will not be asked to sign up for the main services, but have been allocated tickets according to your Traditional or Egalitarian minyan preferences shared with us.

We are asking those who wish to attend Quiet (Highlights) Services, various Family Services and Teen activities (taking place on Rosh Hashanah and on Yom Kippur) to please sign up: here for Quiet Services, here for Families and here for Teens.

In order to provide enough space for everyone, your ticket is colour-coded specifying which venue we’re asking you to go to for each service. We ask that you kindly honour your venue allocations whenever you attend any of the main adult services.

You may attend Quiet (Highlights) Services, Children’s Services, Family, Explanatory or Sunflower Services, or the Teens Programme at the Sternberg Centre site, even if you have an Avenue based ticket. However, we ask that you still honour your original allocation for main adult services. The Avenue is just a 10-15 minute stroll down the road on Regents Park Road.

Due to limited numbers in Toddler Services, we ask that one adult attends per child.

Streamed Services

Streamed services can be accessed via our NNLS YouTube channel.

You can click here for instructions for you to be able to switch on and leave your computer running in a halachic-friendly way over the chag without having to engage with it to receive our streaming.

This year a number of services that will be taking place in the Beit Knesset will be live streamed - namely, our full Egalitarian services on first day Rosh Hashanah, Kol Nidrei and, apart from Minchah, services throughout Yom Kippur day. The style of these streamed services will be more fly on the wall, than the bespoke streamed services we have offered in recent years.

For members who are not keen to be on screen there are large clearly signed sections of the Beit Knesset that will be off camera. And, for members who do not want to attend a streamed service, there are alternative Egalitarian services taking place at each of these times.
