Kehillat Kernow (The Jewish Community of Cornwall) is a Jewish community with about 100 members[1] in Cornwall, England, associated with the Movement for Reform Judaism.[2] Founded in 1999, its name is a combination of the Hebrew word kehillat (community) and the Cornish word Kernow, meaning Cornwall.[1]

Services take place fortnightly on Shabbat mornings at 10:30[2] and are held in a local school, with alternative venues for High Holidays and some festivals.[1] They are led by members of the community and, occasionally, by visiting student rabbis from Leo Baeck College.[1]

The community uses a Torah scroll on permanent loan from Exeter Synagogue and also one that it received from the Royal Cornwall Museum in Truro.[3][4][5] The scroll was previously used by Falmouth Synagogue, which closed in 1882.[3] It was officially handed over by the Duke of Gloucester to Kehillat Kernow at a ceremony in the Royal Cornwall Museum on 28 May 2004.[6][7][8]

Education

The community runs a cheder for children and young people aged 2 to 15.[2]
