Our Community
We offer dynamic family and youth programs, engaging learning opportunities, and a strong emphasis on congregational participation. From our Ladies Guild and Chesed Committee to our monthly Shabbat lunches and renowned Kiddush cholent, Beit Menachem is a vibrant hub of Jewish life.
Conveniently located in St Ives, we are led by an energetic Rabbinical team dedicated to making Judaism accessible, relevant, and inspiring. Our membership is intentionally affordable to ensure everyone can take part.
We invite you to visit, attend a service, and experience our warm community firsthand. At Beit Menachem, you’re not just another member—you’re family.
Our Leadership
Under the spiritual guidance of Rabbi Nochum Schapiro, Beit Menachem offers traditional services in a joyous and welcoming atmosphere. Children are included, and many participants do not read Hebrew, yet everyone feels at home with bilingual prayer books, song, and meaningful commentary enhancing the experience.
Rabbi Schapiro believes Torah must be relevant and accessible, meeting each person on their level. Together with Rebbetzin Fruma Schapiro, they serve as personal emissaries (shluchim) of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, inspiring and guiding the community with warmth and dedication.
