Students

Coming to Birmingham to study? Birmingham Central offers a welcoming Jewish community, regular services, Shabbat and Yom Tov hospitality, learning and pastoral support. Students are warmly invited to take part in community life.

Students are an important part of Birmingham Central. Whether you study at the University of Birmingham, Aston University, Birmingham City University or another local institution, you are warmly invited to connect with our community.
Students are welcome at our services, learning opportunities and community events. Host families may be able to welcome students for Shabbat and Yom Tov meals, offering a friendly home-from-home. Hospitality is subject to availability and must be arranged in advance.
If you are new to Birmingham, would like to attend a service, ask about hospitality, discuss student membership or need pastoral support, email office@centralshul.com. For security reasons, first-time visitors must register and receive confirmation before attending.
