Join us every Friday evening to welcome Shabbat with song, prayers and blessings. These services often feature notable speakers and the beautiful music of our Youth and Teen Choir, Adult Choir and Chai Band.
Every Shabbat at 10:00 a.m. members of the congregation lead an informal service open to all in the Foster Family Chapel. Called the Minyan Service, it features prayer, singing and Torah discussion in a relaxed and friendly setting. Attending the Minyan service is a wonderful way to become more familiar with a Shabbat morning service and to venture into participation in a service.
Most Saturdays Congregation Beth Israel holds Shabbat services in the mornings at 10:00 a.m. and afternoons at 4:00 p.m. in our beautiful Glickman-Galinson sanctuary. These services celebrate the Bar/Bat Mitzvahs of our members and are open to the entire community. Please join us and celebrate Shabbat!
