Weekly Shabbat Services

Friday evening Shabbat service begins at 7:30 p.m.  Many of our Friday evening services have a unique or special focus. The second Friday of each month is usually designated the family birthday and anniversary service, during which we recognize individuals celebrating their birthday and/or anniversary that month.

Shabbat morning services begin at 9:15 a.m.  Our Shabbat morning services frequently include participation by B’nai Mitzvah, individuals with special simhas or guest lecturers.  A kiddush after services provides an opportunity for communal social gathering and several times a year, following the kiddush, there is Kiddush Konversation, an informal discussion with the rabbi or invited guest speaker on various timely topics.

Daily Services - Minyan

Weekday services are conducted Monday through Thursday at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday morning at 9:00 a.m.  Please check our website calendar to confirm this schedule. We encourage our members to participate in daily minyan as a way to support those reciting kaddish.

Holiday Services

Holidays and festivals are celebrated through services and appropriate observances. The Early Childhood school and religious school students decorate the Sukkah for Sukkot and each class shares a snack there. Congregants dance with the Torah scrolls on Simhat Torah, and celebrate Purim with a family service and full traditional reading of the Migilah, as well as adapted young family Megillah storytelling. On the first evening of Shavuot, there is Tikun Lail Shavuot, a study session, and on the first morning, Jewish Day School students participate in the service. Confirmation is generally held on the second night of Shavuot. And High Holiday information is available through the synagogue office.
