The first Friday of each month, September through June, is designated as a Family Shabbat service which is enhanced with the voices of our children's choir.

On the second Friday (Sept-June), we hold two services. A Kabballat Shabbat Service begins at 6:30 pm followed by juice and challah. At 8:00 pm there is a Shabbat Service followed by an Oneg. We hope that this pair of services will allow our families to enjoy Shabbat dinner at a leisurely pace either before or after a service.

The third Friday evening of each month, September through June, includes a Torah service enhanced by our adult choir.

On the fourth Saturday of the month (Sept-June), we have a Family Shabbat Service that will begin at 9:30 am. (Note: This service is Not geared for our very young children.) If there is a Bar or Bat Mitzvah service on this date, this service will be held in the Library.

July through Labor Day, services are held on the patio weather permitting. Come enjoy the beautiful sunset.

Torah Tots Program Schedule: We are returning in the Fall. Check back here for dates.
