Shabbat Services

 On December 19 our Erev Shabbat service will begin at 6:00pm. Following a brief service will be our Chanukah party. Shabbat is the highlight of the Jewish week, an opportunity to connect with family, friends and community. Tranquility and reflection are combined with learning, joy, spirited singing and prayer for a day that restores and renews.  Currently Erev Shabbat services are every Friday night at 7:00pm . You Can View the service via Zoom. The address is
