Friday Night Services:
Most Friday night services begin at 7:30 pm although once a month there may be a "Prime Time Shabbat" that begins at 8 pm, and once a month there will be a half-hour PJ Shabbat service for the little ones beginning at 5:30 pm, followed by a Shabbat dinner for all and then a family-friendly service at 6:45 pm. Check the Calendar for special event start times.
Saturday Morning Services:
Morning Meditation begins at 9:30 am. The Shabbat Morning Traditional Service begins at 10 am but if there is a Bar/Bat Mitzvah, the service will begin at 9:30 am.
Candle lighting times & Torah portions
Our Friday night service is a joyous welcome to the "day of being." We gather to sing and chant, and sometimes even dance. A way to transition from the pulls and stresses of the week to a more centered, calm, and forgiving place. Friendships are born on Friday night!
Saturday morning we begin with spiritual teachings and meditation at 9:30 a.m., led by Rabbi Ben or Peter Schaffer, followed by our joyous morning service at 10 am (9:30 a.m. if there is a Bar/Bat Mitzvah). Our service is full of joyful singing and we have musical accompaniment at B'nei Mitzvah on Saturdays. There is a lively discussion about the weekly Torah reading followed by the chanting of the Torah portion by members of our synagogue community. Every service is followed by a light "kiddush" luncheon at noon to which everyone is warmly welcome.
Join us for our interactive Torah study, following Shabbat services and Kiddush every week, 12:30 pm - 1:15 pm. Absolutely no prior knowledge or experience (or service attendance) is necessary.
Bar and Bat Mitzvahs are communal, not private celebrations, and take place within the context of our ongoing spiritual community; a community in which we hope you will want to take part.
