At Congregation Shearith Israel, we present the age-old Ashkenazi traditions and tunes in an egalitarian, lay-led service where everyone is invited to participate at their comfort level.

Our worship honors our heritage and encourages participation. Every week, congregants chant Torah or Haftarah and share duties throughout the service.

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

We offer youth and family Shabbat services. To learn about and register for Minyan Shelanu, click here.

We also have both a morning and evening Minyan year round. Times vary by day and season, so please check the full calendar for the most updated information.

Daily Services & Shiva Minyanim

Minyan is held every morning and evening at Shearith Israel and evening shiva minyanim are arranged in homes as required.

COVID-19:

During this unpredictable, challenging time, daily and Shabbat services will continue at the regular times in a virtual manner. We will count participants participating in these livestreamed services as part of a minyan, or prayer quorum, allowing members to recite full prayer services including Mourner's Kaddish.
