Fridays…Occasionally we will hold Kabbalat Shabbat Service which will conclude before candle-lighting. Times and dates will vary, so please call the temple office to find out when we may be holding these services.  Friday night services are generally about an hour long. We sing Kabbalat Shabbat and then continue with Maariv. The service, while mostly in Hebrew, does include some readings in English.

Saturdays…  10:00-12:00 a.m.

Please check our calendar  for additional event information.  Weekly candle lighting times and Torah portion readings are also found on our calendar.

All men are required to cover their heads while in the sanctuary, and it is traditional to do so during other activities within the building.  Kippot (head coverings, also known as yarmulkes) are available just inside the entrance to the synagogue.  It is traditional for Jewish men to wear a tallit (prayer shawl) during worship; non-Jewish men do not.

Jewish women may choose to wear a head covering, including a kippah, and tallit (prayer shawl), but are not required to do so.

Shabbat Morning Services 

Shabbat morning services are held every week. They begin at 10:00 AM and continue through approximately 12 noon. Our abbreviated Torah reading is followed by a d’var Torah (Torah teaching) about the weekly Torah reading. We conclude our service with Musaf. Kiddush is open to all with a light lunch and social atmosphere.

We use the Etz Hayim Torah and Commentary Bible and the Siddur Sim Shalom prayerbook.

All our services are led by Rabbi Joseph Prouser and members of the community.  If you are interested in a role in the service, please be in touch with Rabbi Prouser.

Shiva or Yahrzeit Minyan

For those in our community who are sitting shiva or who would like to recite Kaddish for yahrzeit (memorial of a loved one), we will try to arrange services at your request. Simply contact our office and staff can assist you. Please notify us as soon as possible regarding such needs and provide us at least one week’s notice for yahrzeit requests so that we are better able to support you.

Once again we mourn the senseless loss of innocent lives. In memory of the many students and teachers lost in school shootings we offer this Kaddish for School Shootings
