Shabbat
Shabbat is the gift of time to move from thesecular to the holy, an opportunity to set aside weekday pressures,rejuvenate our spirits, reconnect with family and friends and reflectupon what is most meaningful in life.

We offer a wide range of worship services that speak to the varyingfacets of Shabbat observance.  All our Shabbat services are egalitarian, welcoming and are conducted with a sense of joy, deep feeling and humor.
