Chabad GG offers or can direct you to any and all Jewish services
Hospital Visitation
At Chabad we realize how frightening, overwhelming or simply lonesome being in the hospital can be, and that’s why we put such emphasis on visiting people in the hospital and bringing them a gift package with goodies, that show them we care. We visit senior living centers, hospices and hospitals where we run occasional Holiday programs consisting of entertainment and crafts, bringing joy to the residents. Most importantly the patient is given the message that they are not alone.

Mezuzot Checking
A Mezuzah is so much more than a piece of parchment rolled into a scroll. Since the Mezuzah acts as our own personal guardian, alert at all times, it’s important to ensure that it is always in top condition. We can have your Mezuzot checked to ensure that they are Kosher. Click here to learn more about Mezuza.
Email [email protected] or phone 0208458 0416 to arrange for your Mezuzah to be checked.

Kashering
Keeping Kosher is one of the most fundamental aspects of our religion. Kashering is the process of transforming your kitchen into one that meets all the standards of Kashrut.
To have your kitchen Koshered or for more information please contact us.

Tefillin Inspection
Wrapped around our arms in those square black boxes, it’s easy to forget how holy Tefillin are. Containing the name of G-D, each time we wrap ourselves in those black straps we are forging a bond with our Creator. Like Mezuzot, Tefillin contain holy parchments that need to be checked from time to time to ensure they are fit for use.
Drop your Tefillin off and we’ll have them checked for you.
If you would like to purchase a pair of Tefillin, please be in touch here.

Weddings
Mazal Tov! Congratulations on your engagement. We hope your happiness will continue to grow and that you will succeed in laying the foundations for a warm, loving and nurturing Jewish home. Rabbi Simon is available to officiate at your wedding. Should you have any queries; please be in touch here.
Did you know that besides for all the necessary wedding planning it's also essential to learn the Jewish laws of marriage?
The sanctity of the Jewish home hinges on the husband and wife following the guidelines of Family Purity. In order to be properly prepared, both the bride and groom must study up on the subject before the wedding day. It is customary for the couple to receive separate private lessons on Family Purity from qualified instructors. This personal and non-threatening forum is also a wonderful opportunity for the couple to ask any questions of a personal nature they may have which they may be uncomfortable asking of family or friends.
