Shabbat

Shabbat Shalom! This traditional Hebrew greeting literally translates to “Peaceful Sabbath.” We invite you to worship with us on Shabbat whenever you feel moved to seek peace for yourself. The goal of our services is to create sacred spaces that are familiar, inclusive, and meaningful for all in our community.

Shabbat

Something for everyone.

Weekly and holiday services nourish our souls. Led by Rabbi Maya Glasser, our services are thoughtfully prepared and lovingly delivered, enriched with a special emphasis on traditional and contemporary Jewish music. While our clergy uses the Mishkan T’filah prayerbook, which features both Hebrew and English, they regularly include other timely additions to the liturgy. From time to time, we welcome guest speakers and musicians, with the understanding that our tradition is strengthened when we expand our horizons. A highlight of each year is our Scholar in Residence program, when an individual with a particular talent joins us for an intensive weekend of learning. And of course, we invite you to stay for the weekly Oneg Shabbat, where we connect with our community and enjoy a nosh!

Every Friday and Saturday.

Unless otherwise noted, we have services every Friday at 6:30 p.m. and Torah Study every Saturday at 9:00 a.m. On the occasion of a B’nei Mitzvah, Shabbat services are held at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday. Attend in person or join us via livestream!

Looking for a family experience?

We invite families with children of all ages to experience the joy of our services. Because our worship often lasts over an hour, we provide a dedicated Family Room equipped with a livestream. This allows you to step out if your child needs a break without missing the service. We also offer specific programming and connection groups designed exclusively for families and children.
Check our Upcoming Events for a complete listing.

Shabbat Dinner with Friends

We gather for a community Friday night dinner before services several times a year. We call these special Shabbat dinners Shabbat Shireinu – Shabbat of Our Songs. Join us for food, friendship and song! Click here for 2026 Shabbat Shireinu dates.

Religious School Shabbats

All students in our school lead community prayer multiple times a year, with the opportunity to spend time with peers before services.
