SERVICES
Shabbat
Whether you are fully, partially or non-observing, Shabbat is a really special time to get to know the community. For your best experience of DHC, we recommend attending Saturday morning services.
DHC is a Modern Orthodox congregation, men and women are seated in separate sections, and cameras and smartphones are prohibited on the Sabbath. We recommend that you come dressed smartly, modestly and respectfully - kippot can be provided. Remember, there is no eruv, so if you do observe the laws of not carrying outdoors on the Shabbat, plan accordingly.
​​
Friday night services are approximately 45 minutes long. Shabbat morning services run for about two hours, followed by a Kiddush.
​
The synagogue car park is closed from sundown Friday to an hour after sundown on Shabbat, and is also closed on festivals.
​
For visitors and people attending for the first time/in a long time, please email the office for a booking link at sec@dublinhebrew.ie.
(Didn't get an answer? Our office is closed on Shabbat and Jewish festivals. You can always check here to see if it's a Jewish festival today)
​​
​​For Shabbat friendly hotels, please request the most recent Irish Jewish Travel Guide from the office (sec@dublinhebrew.ie).
​
If you are looking for Shabbat meals, we recommend reaching out to Chabad of Ireland at chabadireland@gmail.com. If you would like to be hosted by Chief Rabbi & Rebbetzin Wieder, please contact the office at sec@dublinhebrew.ie.
Weekdays/Sundays
The synagogue has services every morning for Shacharit and every evening for Mincha/ Maariv. During the winter months when Mincha occurs early, the evening service is generally Maariv only.
Times of service can change from week to week, so please contact the office at sec@dublinhebrew.ie.
Festivals
The synagogue holds services for all Jewish religious festivals. In addition the synagogue holds special dinners and events. If you are interested in attending services on Rosh Hashana or Yom Kippur, joining a Purim seudah, a Pesach seder or a Chanukah party you're after, please contact the Synagogue Office at sec@dublinhebrew.ie to be added to the weekly newsletter to get informed about all services and events.
​
For the commemorative day of Yom HaShoah, we recommend contacting the Irish Jewish Community Office at office@jewishireland.org for their annual remembrance. For Yom HaZikaron and Yom HaAtzmaut, we recommend contacting the Israeli Embassy in Dublin. To attend the annual Holocaust Remembrance Day in January, contact the Holocaust Education Trust of Ireland at www.hetireland.org
Curious about a service?
Non Jews are welcome to attend a service, pending approval from the Synagogue. If you are interested in attending services, please send an email to sec@dublinhebrew.ie briefly explaining your interest. Prayer shawls (tallitot) are not needed, but head-coverings (kippot) will be provided.
