Services

We would love for you to join us for our spirited Shabbat services. Our weekly Shabbat morning services are led by a rotation of shlichei tzibbur (prayer leaders) from within our community, and always include participatory singing and inspiring words of Torah.

Shabbat morning services begin on Saturdays at 9:30am and run until a little after noon (you’re welcome to arrive late and/or take breaks!). Services are followed by a delicious kiddush lunch prepared by our volunteer Shabbas Chefs. Many Saturdays after lunch we gather for singing or learning.

Shabbat FAQs

Do you hold services on Friday nights?
Kabbalat Shabbat (Friday evening) services are held about once a month. For 5785 (2024-25) they will be held on the third Friday of each month. Due to conflicts with holidays, there will not be a Kabbalat Shabbat in October or April. 

Beth Shalom members can find information about Kabbalat Shabbat on our calendar or in our monthly newsletter. Non-members, please contact the front office for more details if you're interested in joining us for Kabbalat Shabbat.

What prayerbooks does Beth Shalom use?
The service is almost exclusively in Hebrew, and the books we use (Siddur Sim Shalom for Shabbat and Festivals and Etz Hayim Humash) have English translations.  We also have siddurim (prayerbooks) with large print and transliteration available.

Are children welcome?
We love for children to join us for services in the sanctuary, and we also offer Shabbat babysitting during the academic year, as well as services and programs geared towards children and families.
