Bejt Simcha meets every Friday to celebrate Kabalat Shabbat. We use our own Hebrew-Czech siddur for the service. We also celebrate all the Jewish holidays together.
We offer a wide range of educational (lectures, study sessions, workshops, weekend retreats, Hebrew lessons, conversion class) and cultural activities (concerts, trips, performances).
Bejt Simcha is also the first European affiliate of
Jewish Reconstructionist Federation.
