FAQ

I’m not Jewish / my partner isn’t Jewish. Is Makor Hayim the right space for me?

Yes! We are proud to welcome non-Jewish Ally Builders as fully-fledged members of our community. This means you and/or your partner will be right at home regardless of your religious affiliation, faith (or lack of), and upbringing.

We endeavour to make our services as accessible as possible, whatever your familiarity with Jewish tradition. If you’re interested in learning more about Judaism as part of your Buildership journey, you might want to check out our Navigating Judaism programme. And if you’re interested in conversion, that’s a conversation we can have. If not, you’re still equally welcome at Makor Hayim!

Does Makor Hayim accept [insert category of person here]?

Yes! We make it our mission to be inclusive and welcoming of everyone who wants to be part of our community. We believe everyone brings something unique to the table, and we’d love to share our community with you. Our membership includes mixed heritage families, Jews of colour, LGBTQIA+ Jews, Jews with neurodiversity, single Jews, old Jews, young Jews, Jews with disabilities, secular and religious Jews, people who were brought up with Judaism and people who weren’t – as well as non-Jewish Allies who for various reasons have a stake in our community.

If you have a specific access requirement, please feel free to get in touch so we can be sure to accommodate it.

Can I come along to a service/event before commiting?

Absolutely! All our upcoming dates are published on Eventbrite – simply register your attendance and we’ll be in touch with more details. Alternatively if you’d like to speak to us first, feel free to reach out!
