Saturdays at 9:15 am
Light filters through the stained glass windows bouncing off the simple clean lines of the Aron Kodesh (the Ark) in our largest prayer space. Led by our clergy, this traditional egalitarian service encourages participatory davening (prayer) and features uplifting melodies both new and old. Our clergy offer insights with their words of Torah in their sermons, and we often celebrate b’nei mitzvah and other simchas (happy events) as part of our service. We are blessed to have many congregants who know how to lead services and read Torah or Haftorah, and we welcome the participation of our members. Children flood the bimah at the end of services for concluding prayers and are welcome in the Sanctuary at any time!
The Chavurah Minyan is a lay-led, family-friendly Shabbat morning service open to individuals of all ages who want a more intimate and informal prayer experience. Adults and teens of all skill levels are invited to participate by leading a part of the service, reading Torah or Haftarah or by facilitating a Torah discussion. Please contact the office for more information.
Our building is bustling with children on Shabbat morning! Each of our youth services provide engaging and meaningful opportunities for connection with community and joyous Judaism. Our goal is to engage children and their grown-ups in meaningful experiences on Shabbat that lay the foundation for a lifelong connection to Judaism and love of Torah. Our services are tailored to children of all ages, from toddlers to teens. Children are also always welcome in the Sanctuary at any time.
