Shabbat Services

Shabbat Services:

Friday evening 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 led by our rabbinic intern, followed by a dairy potluck dinner.

 

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.

 

Junior Congregation on designated Shabbat mornings, we invite all 2nd - 6th graders to join us in the Levine Family Chapel for a relaxed service where our students can practice prayers and experience the weekly Torah portion. Students are encouraged to participate and become comfortable being on the bimah. Parents are welcome.
