It was initially a community with no dedicated building, meeting for prayer in private houses and served by a volunteer rabbi and lay readers. At the war's end, some of the congregation stayed in the area and established a permanent Jewish community, acquiring a house for use as a dedicated synagogue building in 1953.The synagogue became part of the Reform Movement in 1960, so receiving the services of student rabbis of the Leo Baeck College, among them being Jonathan Romain who was appointed as the synagogue's first full-time rabbi in 1980.

I joined Maidenhead Synagogue decades ago and have maintained my membership ever since, despite having moved many times. The religious services are streamed live via the Internet, and you can take part in a wide range of social meetings via Zoom. It's a fine and immensely active Jewish community, no matter where you live.
Fabulous synagogue - my local! Services live streamed with Zoom kiddushes after. I really enjoy the book club, film club, adult education and the Forum discussion group. We have all become closer during the pandemic despite not being able to meet in person with a vibrant Zoom programme of events. Jonathan Romain is a great leader...
Maidenhead synagogue has a warm, inclusive feel to it every time I’m involved in any event. Regardless of your religious affiliation, Rabbi Romain welcomes you with open arms. During these very trying times, Maidenhead Synagogue is a great source of comfort.
