PRAY

We celebrate the full cycle of the Jewish year with High Holy Day services, outdoor meals at Sukkot, Chanukah latke dinners, noisy get-togethers on Purim, Passover and Tu B'Shevat community seders, and more! We also celebrate the cycles of our members’ lives – bris and baby-namings, bar/bat mitzvahs, weddings and commitment ceremonies, conversions and confirmations. And of course, we come together and provide support as a community in times of illness or death of members or their families.

Our Shabbat services (minyanim)

Friday Evening Services, 7:30 p.m.

On Erev Shabbat, we hold a Reform/Liberal service, including a d’var Torah, or sermon, and lots of music. We welcome guests and visitors, but non-members must pre-register by contacting the office.

First Friday of the Month: Services Held Early at 6:15 p.m.

Whether you have little kids to put to bed or you just prefer getting home earlier, you can come share in the spirituality and joy of adult Shabbat services in the Beth Shalom community and be home at an earlier hour. Please feel welcome to bring kids to the service, or to sign them up for childcare with pizza, please contact the office.

Saturday Morning Services, 10:00 a.m.

Members of our lay-led Conservative/traditional egalitarian minyan meet in our sanctuary to daven (prayer), leyn (chant), and deliver Divrei Torah every Shabbat.

If you have any questions, please contact the minyan’s coordinator, Judith Rose.
