Descriptions of our Prayer Services:

It is our custom that all people, regardless of age, religion or gender, cover their heads (by kippah, hat or other appropriate covering) while engaged in study or prayer. Head covering is encouraged while anywhere on our campus.

Sunday Morning Minyan
In-person/Zoom: This traditional shaharit (morning service) begins at 9 a.m. and generally concludes at approximately 9:40 a.m. This prayer service is conducted almost exclusively in Hebrew; however, there are transliterated siddurim (prayerbooks) available. Click here for details.

Monday Morning Minyan
Zoom: Start the work week with intention, gratitude, centering and soulfulness. Beginning Oct. 4, this new minyan from 7:30-8 a.m. will offer our community a chance to pray the essential morning prayers from the comfort of their homes, offices, or even outdoors. Over time, you will learn the basic prayers, melodies, and flow of Shaharit (the morning service). We will also recite the Mourner’s Kaddish and enjoy a little Torah inspiration.

Friday Evening Shabbat B'Yahad (Mar. 24, Apr. 14, May 12)
In-person/YouTube: Shabbat B’Yahad (Shabbat Together!) is an intergenerational service that is child-friendly (i.e. short and musical), but not child-specific. Shabbat B’Yahad is a musical Kabbalat Shabbat service intended to give our whole community a chance to enter Shabbat together with song, spirituality, and soulful stillness. All are welcome. Members are invited to enjoy a festive Shabbat dinner following prayer services at 7:15 p.m. Registration for dinner is required. 

Shabbat Morning
In-person/YouTube: This participatory service is regularly led by Rabbis Eric and Jenny Solomon. Shaharit is approximately 9:30-10:15 a.m., when Rabbis Eric and Jenny lead the congregation in Shabbat morning prayers. The Torah service takes place from approximately 10:15-11:30 a.m. 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 11:30-11:45 a.m. The service concludes with the Mourner’s Kaddish and a closing song. After the service, the entire congregation is invited for a Kiddush luncheon. Shabbat Morning Service Ushers Needed: We need two people at each Shabbat morning service to open the front doors and greet people by the main sanctuary doors. Sign up for the date(s) and slot(s) you would prefer here.

Childcare is available on Shabbat mornings from August-June, for children aged 2 years through second grade, beginning at 9:30 a.m. We offer a supervised play space for children as well as Shabbat stories and songs. The play space is located on the lower level of the main building, at the far end of the hallway.
