Shabbat Morning Services

Shabbat Morning Service

The Saturday Shabbat service begins at 9:30 a.m. and includes the Torah service. It lasts approximately three hours. A kiddush lunch is held after the service, and that is followed by adult learning on many Saturdays.

Families mark the occasion of bat and bar mitzvah at our Shabbat morning service. Other lifecycle events and simchas may also be honored. Services are held for all major and minor holidays. Holidays are observed not only with services but also with community celebrations, tzedakah activities and big events like our yearly Purim spiel.
