Worship
Shabbat Services
Every Saturday at 9:30AM
Shabbat is a day of prayer, learning, and community for Jews, celebrated on Saturdays. Our main sanctuary, named after our former Rabbi, Stanley Platek, hosts Shabbat services, while our smaller chapel holds Junior Congregation services.
Daily Minyan
Daily according to Event Calendar
Our daily morning and evening Minyans are a vital part of our community, providing spiritual support and a sense of belonging. We welcome new attendees, as a Minyan requires at least ten people. These gatherings also offer the opportunity to say Kaddish and observe Yahrzeit. Join us for a fulfilling spiritual experience and a sense of connection with others.
Kabbalat Shabbat Dinners
Monthly Fridays, see Event Calendar
Approximately once a month, our synagogue holds a Kabbalat Shabbat dinner following Services. On occasion, our Simchat Shabbat services include musical instruments, including a guitar.
