Chabad Lubavitch of Buckurst Hill

Chabad Buckhurst Hill serves Jews of all backgrounds who want to experience Judaism in a fresh environment and learn more about their Jewish roots, tradition and culture. Chabad Buckhurst Hill opened in 2005 and is directed by Rabbi Odom & Henny Brandman, a dynamic and dedicated couple who, together with their 12 children have dedicated their lives to serving the community.

Together with their wonderful volunteers, they organise many events and programmes for the community including Torah classes and lectures, Shabbat services and dinners, and an array of family and social activities.

With their warm smiles and non-judgemental approach, the Brandmans moved into Buckhurst Hill in May 2005 with the goal of strengthening all aspects of Judaism in the area. They are here for you, are approachable and ready to help you in any way.
