Shabbat in Three Part Harmony is a unique, monthly intergenerational Shabbat program held on the first Friday of each month.  It begins with Tot Shabbat at 6:00 pm, followed by a congregational potluck dairy/vegetarian dinner at 6:30 pm, the night concludes with Intergenerational Family Services at 7:00 pm.  This festive evening also features musical accompaniment.

There are many special Shabbat programs including guest speakers, congregational dinners, Shabbat Schmooze (shorter service followed by extended leisurely dinner) and Shabbat al Fresco (service outdoors on the patio).

Shabbat morning at Or Hadash begins with a bagel breakfast as we gather with our rabbi to actively study and explore the weekly Torah reading in English.

An interactive and participatory Shabbat morning service follows at 10 am.
