Erev Shabbat Services

erev shabbat servicesClergy-Led Friday Evening Services

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.

Minyan Lay-Led Services

minyan lay-led serviceLay-Led Informal Minyan Service

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.
