Embracing Shabbat  

Shabbat allows us time to relax with friends and family, to rejoice with our community, to reflect on the past week, and refresh ourselves for the one to come. This year, we are committed to “Embracing Shabbat” with our new Shabbat siddur, Mishkan T'filah, as well as with thoughtful ways to make our worship meaningful.

Upcoming Shabbat Events

  • All First Friday Shabbat services begin at 7 p.m.
  • Certain Kabbalat Shabbat services will begin at 6:30 p.m. with Wine & Cheese Pre-Oneg at 6 p.m.
  • Most Erev Shabbat services are at 8 p.m. and Shabbat morning services are at 10:30 a.m.


Mishkan T'filah

We are using the new Reform prayerbook, Mishkan Tefillah, as our regular Shabbat siddur.

Dedicate a copy of Mishkan T'filah in honor or memory of family or friends.
