Shabbat Services

Shabbat Services:

Friday evening Kabbalat Shabbat minyan at 6:30 p.m.

Shabbat morning service is at 9:30 a.m.

We are happy to have you join us whenever you arrive. 

Every Shabbat morning service concludes with a full kiddush lunch, where our community comes together to learn and schmooze.

Congregation Etz Chaim hosts a variety of alternative, creative services throughout the year. Some of these services include:

Blue Jean Shabbat features a synagogue-wide community dinner followed by a musical service lead by musicians within our congregation.

Shabbat Sasson is an intimate service for spiritual seekers followed by a dairy potluck dinner. For more information on being a part of this musician lead service, click here.

Shake it Up Shabbat is a casual celebration of Shabbat, where we find a new seat, read a new prayer or change things up from the bimah.

Tot Shabbat (on Friday or Saturday) is a monthly Shabbat experience for families with young children. We sing songs, dance, have Torah stories, crafts, and fun. When Tot Shabbat is on Friday, we start Shabbat with a potluck dinner. On Saturday, all are invited after Tot Shabbat to join us for kiddush lunch.

Team Shabbat on designated Shabbat mornings, we invite all Pre-K - 8th graders to join us in for age-appropriate Shabbat programs. Students are encouraged to participate and become comfortable being on the bimah. Parents are welcome. Click here for the schedule.
