Services

Shabbat

Our Kabbalat Shabbat service is full of singing and camaraderie and begins at 7:30 p.m. Regularly, we hold our Friday Night Live service.  Also, about once a month during the warmer months, we hold “Shabbat in the Park” starting at 5:45 p.m.

Weekly Saturday morning Shabbat services begin at 9 a.m. with Kiddush at approximately noon.

Shabbat Mincha follows Kiddush at 12:30pm (or 30 minutes following the conclusion of Musaf).  Motzei Shabbat Ma’ariv and Havdallah begin just after shkiah/sunset on Saturday evenings.
