This traditional shaharit (morning service) begins at 9AM and generally concludes at approximately 9:40AM. The service is conducted almost exclusively in Hebrew; however, there are transliterated siddurim (prayerbooks) available. Lay leaders usually lead the minyan except when there is a special occasion such as Rosh Hodesh (new Hebrew month) or a holiday. It is customary for adult Jews to wear a tallit (prayer shawl) for this service. Many people also wear tefillin (leather boxes containing holy scripture). There are additional sets of “loaner” tefillin available upon request.

This participatory service takes place in the main sanctuary, lasts from approximately 9:30-11:45AM, and is regularly led by Rabbi Eric Solomon. The most creative part of the prayer service takes place during shaharit from approximately 9:30-10:15AM when Rabbi Jenny Solomon assists Rabbi Eric Solomon and leads the congregation in meditative Hebrew chanting and meditation. The second part of the service, the Torah service, takes place from approximately 10:15-11:30AM and includes the Torah reading, the Haftarah (prophetic reading), and an active discussion of the weekly Torah portion. The final section (Musaf) lasts from approximately 11:30-11:45AM. The service concludes with the Mourner’s Kaddish and a closing song. After the service, the entire congregation is invited into the social hall for a Kiddush luncheon.
