The Jewish Community of Berkshire (abbreviated as JCoB) is a Modern Orthodox Jewish community and synagogue based in Reading, Berkshire, England, in the United Kingdom.[2] The congregation worships in the Ashkenazi rite.[1]
The community was established in 2015, following an accident when the rabbi injured his knee and was unable to walk to synagogue.[3] Its rabbi is Zvi Solomons, formerly the rabbi of Reading Hebrew Congregation.[1][3][4][5] Synagogue services are held in the rabbi's home, and the community hosts the only Orthodox rabbinic couple (Rabbi Zvi Solomons and Rebbetzen Dr Shira Batya Lewin Solomons)[6] and cheder[7] in Berkshire.
JCoB also provides a visiting service to schools in the region to teach Judaism as part of the religious education syllabus agreed by their local SACREs.[8]
