Bevis Marks weekday morning minyan. Davven in the oldest continuously meeting congregation in Europe. We have been going since at least 1657 without interruption, and in our present synagogue since 1701.

We use the Spanish and Portuguese rite, so our service is longer than a typical Ashkenazi Shaharith.
We begin the service with Zemiroth (Pesukei D'Zimra)
Barechu and Shaharith proper commences at  07.40 - 7.45 (Mon - Fri)
We are usually finished by 08.10 to 08.15 (Mon - Fri)

After the service, we go down to the hall for a leisurely and friendly breakfast - ha-motzi is made, and we have  toast, tea, coffee, jam, marmalade and usually cheese. 


Weekdays Mon and Thurs 07:20, 
Tues, Wed, Fri at 07:25. 
Sun 09:00
 2nd door on the right on Heneage Lane, EC3A 5DQ. 
Continental breakfast is available after the service. We finish shaharith at around 8.15am.

If you are able to join us, you would find yourself most welcome.
