Worship Schedule


If you haven't worshiped with us before and/or are curious about Judaism, we invite you to join us for our services and Torah study. 

Fridays:

  • See schedule below. Services are filled with music and inspiration. They are preceded by an oneg (literally "joy") which includes a blessing over wine and bread and plenty of noshing (eating) and shmoozing (socializing)! Coffee, tea and cookies will be available after services.

Saturdays:

  • Torah Study in the Feuerstein Activity Center is insightful and enlightening (beginners welcome!).
  • Shabbat morning lay-led services in the Foster Family Chapel are relaxed and friendly - a wonderful choice for newcomers.
  • Shabbat services in the Glickman Galinson Sanctuary feature our Bar and Bat Mitzvah and are open to all.

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.
