Our services are informal, with many opportunities to sing and participate.
Services are largely in Hebrew with traditional nusach (musical style) and the Reconstructionist machzor is used. Congregants participate actively in many ways, including singing along, chanting Torah and Haftarah and leading English readings.
Shabbat Evening
A sweet and joyful gathering for Shabbat prayers, blessings and music. Services are brief, with a potluck supper afterward.
Shabbat Morning
Our services are informal and grounded in the traditional service structure, using the Reconstructionist prayer book. Services are largely in Hebrew with English readings, poems and teachings woven in. Often we include a short meditation or an opportunity for congregants to share things they are grateful for.
Understanding Torah and its connection to our lives is very important to us. At the close of services, there is a lively “Lunch and Learn” discussion group focusing on the day’s Torah portion.
HIGH HOLY DAYS
High Holy Days are a time for the spiritual work of teshuva – returning to our best selves. Our tone is meditative and contemplative. Recognizing the diversity of backgrounds and tastes, we offer two styles of services:
Family-friendly services are offered on both Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.
Sukkot
Connect with Judaism, community, your true self and the Divine.
