Shabbat
Services are held each Friday evening at 6:30pm and are followed by an oneg Shabbat of light refreshments or occasionally a congregational Shabbat dinner – wonderful opportunities to get to know members of our community. Our 9:00am Shabbat morning minyans are intimate, participatory, and conclude with kiddush and a nosh.
Social Action
Tikkun Olam, or repairing the world, is a bedrock value of Jewish faith. Practicing it is not only a way for us to make our world a better place, but it strengthens our Jewish identity and demonstrates our values. Join us in social action, community service and tzedakah.
