Welcome to our small, friendly and diverse Jewish community!

Shalom!

We’d like to offer you a warm welcome to Beit Echud – the Milton Keynes & District Reform Synagogue (MKDRS). Whether you’re established in the area, just moved in, studying or visiting, we hope you will get in touch.

MKDRS will be 50 years old in 2028. Our small and friendly congregation is based in Milton Keynes but attracts members from a wide area in Bucks, Beds and Northants. MKDRS is affiliated to the national Movement for Reform Judaism, though it would be true to say that our membership represents a wide spectrum of religious observance. Some of our members are in mixed-faith relationships and we very much welcome non-Jewish partners.

Milton Keynes and District Reform Synagogue is a registered charity, number 1058193.

Our mission and activities

The Synagogue holds regular Shabbat services and regular Cheder sessions for children. There is also an adult education programme. We also hold social events during the year. The Synagogue is represented on the Milton Keynes Council of Faiths and Interfaith Milton Keynes.

Ours is a diverse, active and happy community. We hope you will join us.
