Worship Overview
Prayer is a language that each of us speaks and hears in a different way. When we pray together, we try to find meaning within the chorus of diverse voices. With engaging sermons, stimulating teachings, and meaningful prayer intertwined with music, our Clergy show us how the lessons from the past are relevant to our lives today.
Through a wide range of spiritual experiences we offer something for everyone, including weekly Shabbat evening and Shabbat morning services. In addition, special services are held throughout the year which include “Pray and Play,” “Shalom Yoga,” and so much more.
Our services are fully egalitarian (men and women participate equally). We believe we have found a healthy balance between the traditional and the creative. Services are a blend of Hebrew and English that helps everyone feel comfortable. Our prayer book, Mishkan T’filah, contains transliterations adjacent to all Hebrew prayers so that everyone, including guests, can participate easily and fully. We use both traditional and contemporary melodies. People who attend vary from those with traditional backgrounds to Jews by choice as well as guests of all faiths.
