Isn't everybody welcome at synagogue? In Brisbane everybody's welcome as long as they cover their head and don't wave crusafixes around.

Every synagogue I've ever been to (hundreds probably from hasidic to reconstuctionist) is open to the public so long as the married women cover their hair and the guys put on kippah. Call someone from the synagogue- tell them you are interested and go ahead. You could always just go ahead on your own but them knowing might make you feel more comfortable and also they may have someone help navigate through the hebrew and explain the service to you. Hope you enjoy it!

decimos, is there some historic connection between the Welsh and Jews? I was told by a Welshman here in Australia that some Welsh people consider themselves to be from a lost tribe of Israel. Is this belief common or was this person just a nutter?

Today, Cardiff has 2 synagogues one of which is Orthodox. There is a Jewish kindergarten. Kosher food is sold in several shops. Jews also live in Llandudno, Newport, and Swansea.
