Shabbat

Shabbat is an integral part of our gathering as a Jewish Community. Shabbat is a day of rest, a time to suspend the demands of our rigorous daily schedules, and focus on renewing our souls within. See below for a detailed list of our Shabbat services and programs.

  • Kaballat Shabbat Services: Friday at 8pm in our Bet Knesse; first Friday services at 6pm
  • Saturday Minyan: Saturday Mornings at 10am in our Bet Knesset; when no bar/bat mitzvah is scheduled, a community vegetarian potluck follows services.

We also offer a variety of programs

  • Learner’s minyan: Do you want to better understand the hows, whens, and whys of the Shabbat morning service? Join us for slow-paced davenning adventures, with Rabbi Joey. Grade 6/7 Bnai/Bnot Mitzvah families will find these services especially helpful. Recommended for 5th grade and older. The next scheduled Learners’ Minyans will be held on:   February 20, 2010, 10:00 am
  • Dorot- Short and Sweet Shabbat Services: Fridays, 6:00 – 7:30pm.  Casual and family friendly services to welcome Shabbat. Services are followed by a potluck vegetarian dinner.

  • Shabbat Morning Tot Shabbat: Saturday mornings, 10:30-11:30. Young children (0-5) and their parents celebrate Shabbat with singing, blessings, storytelling. We’ll join the Shabbat morning service just in time to joyfully take the Torah out of the Ark.
