Holidays

Our worship services are open to all. Whether on a shabbat or festival, special speaker or b’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 usually on the third Friday of each month, beginning at 7:00pm. Check our calendar for exact schedule. Erev Shabbat is more musical and lasts for about an hour.
• During the school year, on the first Shabbat of the month we hold a Shabbat Rishona service geared towards youth and families. Check our calendar to find out if a given month is a Friday or Saturday service.

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!

Festivals and Observances

We celebrate all major Jewish holidays as a community, including:

• Full High Holiday services using the Mishkan Hanefesh Machzor (High Holiday prayer book). 
• Community sukkah
• Hanukkah party
• Purim party for all ages, including a joyous spiel and excerpts from the Megillah reading 
• Community Passover Seder

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

Check our calendar to see what’s coming up.

Other Information

• We keep one foot in Liberal Judaism while holding to time-honored traditions from our Orthodox and Conservative past. We use Mishkan Tefillah for Gatherings, a siddur (prayerbook) published by the Reform movement, although our prayer style includes slightly more Hebrew than many Reform congregations.
• Our Services can be accessed in-person and virtually on YouTube.
• Services are led by our Spiritual Leader, Reb Josh, who makes services accessible and relevant to both newcomers and knowledgable Jews.
• Any person who is seeking to worship, learn about Judaism, or just connect with the Jewish community is welcome to attend our Services, regardless of religious affiliation or identity. We only ask you to please be respectful of our sacred space.

The vestry kitchen is kosher/dairy and we request that no outside food be brought into the synagogue building unless it is certified kosher and in coordination with Sisterhood who maintains the kitchen. Personal water bottles are allowed in the temple and vestry but not in the kitchen. If you have any questions, please contact Reb Josh.
