Simchat Shabbatot
Celebrate your birthday, anniversary or other special event at our monthly Simchat Shabbatot.

Shabbat Rishon (1st Friday)

Celebrate with us on the 1st Friday of each month with a special musical Shabbat.  During these special events, we may also offer an opportunity to share a pre-Shabbat dinner or special Oneg - options change each month.

5:45 p.m. Young Children's Service
Join our youngest worshipers and their extended families for a special service specifically geared toward young children. Follow along using our age-appropriate prayer booklet and sing along with Rabbi Margolis and Zemer Laurie Akers. During this service, we recognize all of the children who are celebrating birthdays throughout the month. The rabbi shares a favorite story as the kids come up to the bimah to sit. Often, we are treated to an original "Baa-aaby" story. The children look forward to this low-key, special time with the rabbi. The Young Children's service typically begins at 5:45 p.m., and lasts about 40 minutes.

7:00 p.m. Adult Service and Discussion
Guest speakers or discussions led by Rabbi Margolis are featured at these monthly services in addition to recognizing birthdays and other milestones.

Hebrew School Grade-Level Shabbat Services
Several of our Shabbat services throughout the year are led by our Hebrew school students. This is a wonderful opportunity for families of students in the same grade to welcome Shabbat together. Our students look forward to their turn on the bimah as they become more and more familiar with the prayers. Students also enjoy bringing their favorite sweets to share at the Oneg table on these special Shabbat evenings.
