Invite your (Adult) Child to Shabbat Services
Once a month, from September to May, Shabbat services are moved from the formality of the sanctuary to our social hall to create a more intimate service. Our singing is accompanied by violin, guitar, keyboard, and percussion. The striking music opens our hearts and awakes our spirits. This year we will alternate our two styles of services, “Shabbat for the Soul” and “Visual T’filah.”
Shabbat is always for the soul, but there is a particularly soulful atmosphere at “Shabbat for the Soul” services. It is a more contemplative worship style with the congregation sitting in the round. We use a single page handout for the prayers. A slower pace enables us to focus on the meditative effect of the music, the potential for deeper awareness and prayer, and the feeling of community.
Shabbat for the Soul dates: October 25, December 20, February 21, April 17
Visual T’filah Dates: September 20, November 15, January 17, March 20, May 22
