MIDDLE STREET SYNAGOGUE CELEBRATES 150 YEARS
Middle Street Synagogue celebrates its 150th anniversary this year.
To commemorate this historic milestone, we invited members of the community to an afternoon dedicated to the history of Middle Street Synagogue to uncover some of the stories of this magnificent and unique synagogue in the heart of Brighton.

The significance of Middle Street Synagogue cannot be overstated. Designed by local architect Thomas Lainson, who surveyed for the Goldsmid family's Wick Estate, it was opened in 1875. Middle Street was soon enhanced by numerous catalogued donations from prominent Jewish families.
Currently, Middle Street synagogue is closed to the public and we do not offer public tours.
