We recognize that our congregational family has diverse needs and we strive to provide many opportunities for worship that will allow each to participate fully in our services in a way that is meaningful to them.

On the first Friday of each month, our service begins at 6:00 PM and is followed by a Pot Luck Dinner. The siddur used at this service is appopriate for young children. We also bless those children who celebrate birthdays during the month in this service. Services on all other Friday evenings begin at 7:00 PM and the third Friday of each month is our “Ask The Rabbi” service. On the Saturday following our Family Service, we have a 10:00 Worship Service. All most other Saturday morning, we have Torah Study at 10:00 AM. Check the calendar.

NOTE: Each holiday begins and ends at sundown on the days listed.
