Shabbat

Shabbat in our sacred space
Sharing Shabbat is a wonderful way to welcome in the weekend! Please join our sacred community with your family and friends. Our doors are open to all who seek to worship, learn and serve the community.
Each Friday night Shabbat service is followed by an Oneg and an opportunity to meet other congregants and to further enrich our community. On "Fifth Fridays" (the 5th Friday of the month) we celebrate Shabbat with a community dinner instead of a service and Oneg. Join us for these special gatherings to share in making new connections and to participate in informal community discussions.
Our monthly Multi-Generational Shabbat Services typically include a story in lieu of a sermon, relating to a Jewish holiday, value, or theme. We will celebrate those young people whose birthdays fall during that month. Families with children are encouraged to attend. The Shabbat service is appropriate for everyone.
If you have young children who need a break, we have a small area in the rear of the sanctuary for them with quiet, age-appropriate activities. We also offer monthly Sunday morning Tot Programs for anyone who needs earlier timing.
saturday morning torah study
On Saturday mornings we offer a Torah Study class with Rabbi Dan Polish and Rabbi Emerita Jennifer Jaech from 9:30 - 10:30 AM.

Sisterhood/Brotherhood Movie Night
Motzei Shabbat, Nov 15th 7:00pm to 9:30pm
"A Face in the Crowd" starring Andy Griffith and Patricial Neal, Directed by Elia Kazan. From 1957, a powerful drama that showcases the talents of a remarkable cast, led by Andy Griffith in his screen debut, as you’ve never seen him before, and the great Patricia Neal. The story centers on Larry "Lonesome" Rhodes, a drifter who is discovered by the producer of a small-market radio program in rural northeast Arkansas, and who rises to great fame and influence on national television. In vividly illustrating the impact that TV can have on politics, the film is truly visionary in predicting the expanding nature of that power, and warning the viewer to be on guard for the future. Among the wonderful supporting players are Walter Matthau, Anthony Franciosa, and Lee Remick. The screenplay is by Budd Schulberg, based on his own short story, and is directed by Elia Kazan - known so well for “A Streetcar Named Desire” and “On the Waterfront” - at the height of his enormous directing skill. Len Simon will provide some background on the film before the screening and moderate a discussion after.
