Shabbat Services

Erev Shabbat (Friday Evening) Services

Erev Shabbat services are held every Friday evening at 8 PM, except the Shabbat in Three-Part Harmony Services held the first Friday of most months, which start at 6 PM.

Services are friendly and informal, with a lively mix of Hebrew and English, and an emphasis on music and singing in a fully egalitarian setting.

Friday services often include speakers and programs such as our Shabbat Zemirah (Musical Shabbat) and Shabbat Schmooze (short service followed by catered dinner).

Shabbat in Three-Part Harmony (Family Shabbat)

Shabbat in Three-Part Harmony is a unique, monthly intergenerational Shabbat program
held on the first Friday of most months. It begins with Tot Shabbat at 6:00 p.m., followed
by a congregational potluck dairy/vegetarian dinner at 6:30 p.m..  The night concludes with Family Service at 7:30 p.m. This festive evening also features the musical accompaniment of our Choir.


Shabbat Morning Services

Shabbat morning services take place at 10 AM following Torah study.

Additional services are held for festivals – please check the synagogue calendar for details.
