Shabbat Morning Study & Worship (Saturday mornings)

We invite you to join us on Saturday mornings for any of our many study and worship opportunities.

Shabbat Minyan – 9:15am
The Shabbat Minyan is comprised of a small group of men and women who want to delve deeper into their understanding of Jewish history, ethics, and principles. Over the years we have had new members join our group; it's easy to fit right in. Dress is very informal and relaxed.

The Minyan study group meets at 9:15am every Saturday morning in the Old Sanctuary (the room immediately to your right when you enter by the office wooden doors entrance) throughout the year, except for conflicting Jewish holidays. Each week includes the study of a different portion of text, which members generally read in advance.  However, anyone can participate in the discussion as the material is always read together.  Lively discussions include current events and references to other Jewish texts; some members choose to do research and bring additional materials.  The completion of each major book of Torah usually includes a party to celebrate and a special Shabbat dedicated to a recapitulation of the book that was just finished.

Discussions are usually completed around 10:30am and are followed by a short service (approximately 15 minutes).

Shabbat Shalem: Monthly - 10:30 am – 11:30 am
First Saturday of the month.
A Shabbat Morning Worship Experience with Rabbi Renee.

A Shabbat morning full participation service, which will include a Torah reading, discussion and an explanation of the Shabbat morning prayers. The service is warm, casual and relaxed to allow for free flow discussion and connection with those who are praying together. This service will also be a wonderful experience for future Bar/Bat Mitzvah and their family to see how beautiful Shabbat Shalem can be.

We will begin at 9:30 with Torah study for the week and continue with a 10:30-11:30 service. Come and join us!!!
