Does anyone know where there is a Synagogue in Sheffield? I need to source a Jewish skull cap by this evening. Alternatively anywhere I could by one from would be fine...

Thanks in advance! :)

Is it on Wilson Road, off Ecclesall Road?

Try here (http://www.jewishgen.org/jcr-uk/Community/Sheffield.htm)

^^ not such a good link - sorry

I know I have a cap somewhere, but would probably take a week for me to dig it out.

I found that link but it wasn't particularly helpful - no contact details:(

My boyfriend is directing a musical that has a jewish character and it opens tonight and desperatly needs one - they are currently using a pad out of a bra of all things... I, good RE teacher that I am, was appalled.

Try these

Sheffield Jewish Congregation & Centre
127, Psalter Lane, Sheffield, South Yorkshire S11 8UX
Tel: 0114 255 2296

I am also pretty sure there is a Synagogue on Kingfield Road near the address above.

There was one on colley road...it was great if there was a service on....i would go down and look at the flash cars....i saw a Z200 Corvette there once not to mention the Ferrari's

As said, Wilson Rd, off Eccelsall.

The building at Wilson Road is no longer a synagogue.

Granma.

It's a Synagone then?

PMSL MrH PMS

The meeting place is on Brincliffe Crescent and Psalter Lane - where the two roads meet. My life has no one an A to Z these days oy oy oy....

oh, dear!!!!! the jokes get worse. lol

Yes that is correct, the jewish congregation is now based on/ near kingfield road, and that the synagogue on wilson road is now disused.

It is now used by the City Church.

I thought they were called either a "kippah" or "yarmulke" ... what am I thinking of then?

they are the only two names that I know the skull caps by, too, ruby!

I know that the woman's head-covering (wig or scarf) is a Scheitel or Scheitl (SP)

A Kippah pronounced kipper is a fish you can eat for brecky in posh hotels and yarmulke is a soothing ointment used when suffering from a bad case of the River Niles or Farmer Giles or Plymouths if you prefer.

hi absynthfairy
there is one on colley road just of ecclesfield road

I thought they were called Yamulkah too - thats what it says in all my textbooks anyway! Anyway - the show was saved and one was provided. Thank you for all the help and guidance peeps!

All the the names that you have mentioned are correct. As for what it says in certain text books I don't know, but with my husband being jewish and having converted to judaism myself I have always refered to them as that.

Yamulkah = more traditional, maybe 'posher'
Kippah = standard name by more religious jews
Cuppel = standard name by less religious jews
