~ Weekly Shabbat Services ~

The Kehillah offers weekly Friday night services from 7-8 p.m. when we welcome Shabbat with a song-filled and spiritual service. We sit in a circle of chairs, sing the beautiful Friday night liturgy and share English responsive readings. This service is followed by an oneg dessert.

Saturday morning services begin at 9:45 a.m. During the service, we join together for songs of praise, the Torah and Haftorah reading and a thought-provoking d’var discussion. The service ends around noon and is followed by a kiddush luncheon during which we enjoy Shabbat schmoozing.

 

~ Shabbat B'yachad (Shabbat Together) ~

Shabbat B'yachad, a Synaplex™ program, brings the entire Kehillah community together  for a dynamic Shabbat morning celebration.  During the morning, participants engage in a variety of free choice activities, age appropriate services, and multi-generational learning, including a Torah discussion. The morning is concluded with a communal potluck lunch.

~ Tot Shabbat ~

Our preschool hosts monthly Tot Shabbat services for children. Tot Shabbat is a hands-on, musical and movement-oriented service for infants through 5 year olds and their families. The service includes Shabbat songs as well as the basic liturgy of Shabbat morning. Afterwards, families gather together for kiddush. On months with Shabbat B'yachad, Tot Shabbat is often scheduled on the same day so that all families can participate together.
