to Southampton Hebrew Congregation
We are an independent Orthodox synagogue serving the city of Southampton’s Jewish community, including Jewish students at the University of Southampton and Solent University.
The community meets for the major festivals, simchas and special occasions as well as for a number of Shabbat services throughout the year.
Following its refurbishment in 2024 our synagogue building is now a community centre for all Jewish social, cultural and religious events in the Southampton and South Hampshire area and is shared with the local Reform community (SHRJC).
For more information about services, view our Services and Events page. If you are visiting the area and wish to attend a service, would like more information or need to find the synagogue, view the Contact page.

The attack on Jews in Manchester
Southampton Synagogue is grateful for very many messages of goodwill received following the outrages at the Heaton Park Synagogue in Manchester on Yom Kippur. In addition, we have received messages of support from our MP Satvir Kaur, the City Council and local police force. Police attended our services on Yom Kippur.
We are grateful to all of you who sent these kind messages, or came to the synagogue to express your solidarity. Fortunately our own Yom Kippur services were not interrupted by any hostile events.
The message to and from all is that:
- we must stand firm against anti-Semitism and indeed all forms of racism.
- we must not allow event elsewhere in the world to poison community relations in this country.
Our hearts go out to the families of Adrian Daulby and Melvin Cravitz who were killed at Heaton Park. We pray for the recovery of those who were wounded. We stand in solidarity with the community of Heaton Park in their grief and distress.
