Holidays

Our worship services are open to all. Whether on a shabbat or festival, special speaker or b’nai mitzvah celebration, we welcome your attendance and participation!

Sabbath Services:

• We hold Shabbat Shacharit (Morning Services) most Saturdays at 9:30am. This service runs about 2 hours and includes a Torah Service and an engaging Torah Study or sermon.
• Erev Shabbat (Evening Service) is held on the third Friday of each month, beginning at 7:00pm. Erev Shabbat is more musical and lasts for about an hour.
• Join us for schmoozing and fellowship after each Service! All of our Services are followed by a Kiddush or Oneg in the Ruboy Vestry. All are welcome!
• During the school year, on the first Saturday of the month we hold a Shabbat Rishona service geared towards youth and families. The Service goes until 10:15am, followed by family learning and Kiddush.

Festivals and Observances

We celebrate all major Jewish holidays as a community, including full High Holiday services using Mishkan Hanefesh, a Hanukkah party, a Purim Megillah reading, and a community Seder for Passover.

We occasionally observe minor holidays such as Tu’bishvat and Lag Ba’omer as well.

Check our calendar to see what’s coming up.
