Shabbat and Holiday Services
Shabbat
Regular Erev Shabbat services are held every Friday evening at 8:15 PM. Consistent with Temple’s warm and inclusive philosophy, children are not only welcome, but encouraged to attend all services. In addition, beginning in November, the first Friday of every month will be an Early Shabbat, with services at 5:45 PM (There will be no 8:15 pm services on those Fridays) and an optional Friday night dinner. We hope that this earlier service time will make it easier for families with young children and others who prefer an earlier service time, to attend.
Regular Shabbat morning services are held Saturdays at 10:30 AM, followed by weekly Family Shabbat services at 11:30 AM.
Holidays and Festivals
Whether the occasion is joyous or mournful, Temple’s services and observances are always meaningful and inspirational.
High Holidays
Services are held for all holidays and festivals in the Jewish calendar. The High Holiday period begins each year with Rosh Hashanah and concludes with Yom Kippur. High Holiday services are held both at Temple and on the West Island. Please click here to view this year’s Schedule of High Holiday services.
Other Holidays and Festivals
Temple observes each of the holidays and festivals in unique ways that unite our members as a congregational family. On Sukkot, we assemble in the sukkah. On Simchat Torah, we gather to bless our new Torah School students. We hold creative and joyous Chanukah and Purim services and festive celebrations. On the first night of Passover, a lively Passover Seder is organized. We observe Shavuot in conjunction with our Kabbalat Torah (Confirmation) program. Inspiring services are also held on Yom Ha’Shoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day, and on Yom Ha’Atzmaut, Israel’s Independence Day.
Music
Holiday and Shabbat services are enhanced by the beautiful musical accompaniment provided by our Music Director and Cantorial Soloist, Rachelle Shubert, as well as by our frequent renowned musical guests.
