Welcome to the Oxford Jewish Congregation 

We are a unique Jewish Community in the UK providing for the needs of Jews in Oxford, whether residents, students or visitors.  Though small in size it encompasses under one roof Orthodox, Masorti and Progressive forms of prayer, sometimes simultaneously,   The members of the community, whatever their form of worship, come together in the many communal activities as one congregation, welcoming also the stranger "that is within their gates", a frequent occurrence in Oxford.  The Oxford Jewish Congregation is a rare, if not unique, community of Jews.

The OJC encourages membership of the Congregation for all Jewish residents and anyone who is visiting for any extended period of time. (Undergraduates at both universities are automatically considered to be members of the Congregation during their period of study in Oxford.) As a small community we welcome Jews of all denominations and are delighted when they choose to join the OJC.

This web site gives information about the services, service times,  community activities and education going on in the community.  There is also general information  about Jewish life in Oxford.  

A major development going on at the moment is the rebuilding of the Oxford Jewish Centre. The building has now been completed, and was rededicated in November 2004. For further information on the design, click here. If you would like to hire the building for your own activities, click here.

A Fundraising Appeal for £1.8 million has been successfully launched.  Further information about the project, and some photographs of the site as it unfolds are available. 

In addition to this web page, members of the Community are kept in touch  through various newsletters.

All enquiries are welcome and can be addressed to enquiries@ojc-online.org.
