Beth Meyer Synagogue

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. Livestream link: https://www.bethmeyer.org/sanctuary-livestream.html

A few updates: 1) The drive has been moved from the Beit Am to the social hall 2) We will be limiting the number of donors in the building at one time. I'm not yet sure of the details, but during peak times, you may be asked to wait outside until space opens up in the building. The canteen will be modified a bit as well, but as long as I can get them, we'll still have fresh bagels! 3) Unfortunately, The Blood Connection is not able to offer the Gift Card Incentive at this time. Please contact me with any general questions.
