Shabbat

New Services Added for the Entire Family

Family services will be offered on the first Friday of each month at 7:00 pm. This is a shorter Kabbalat Shabbat service geared toward elementary school-age children and their families. There will be abbreviated prayers, more English, lots of singing, blessing the children, and a story or short teaching in lieu of a d’var Torah. Following the service, join us for Oneg Shabbat afterward. All are welcome! (There will be no standard Erev Shabbat service on these Friday evenings.)

For our littlest learners, we will be offering a Tot Shabbat service on the third Friday of each month at 6:30 pm. Join Rabbi Ronda for a short service with singing and movement. Following this service, there will be a standard Adult Erev Shabbat service at 7:30 pm.

We are back to offering both in-person and virtual services every Friday evening and Saturday morning! Links to services on Zoom are in blue and underlined.

Ritual Policy

It is traditionally considered a sign of respect for anyone in a synagogue to wear a kippah (yarmulke, in Yiddish). We encourage everyone in the sanctuary to wear a head covering, although as a Reform Jewish congregation it is not mandatory. However, all participants in the Torah service on the bimah must wear both a kippah and tallit as a sign of respect. A ready supply of both are in the sanctuary if you are offered the honor of handling or blessing Torah. Thank you for your cooperation.
