Our Services
*"Traditional" shabbat services refer to worship services adhering to a prescribed order and content without embellishment or overt interpretation or comment.
*"Kabbalat" shabbat, the "receiving of shabbat" is a joyous ritual designed to welcome the shabbat. Developed by Kabbalists in the 16th century, Kabbalat shabbat centers on the theme of shabbat as the bride of Israel. Services center on the recitation of specific psalms and the song Lekhah Dodi; "Come my Beloved"-- a reference to the the intimacy of shabbat.
*"Musical" refers to a service focusing on the musical options for the liturgy developed over the centuries as a method of embracing prayers and enhancing spirituality.
*"Mindfulness" is the cultivation of heightened awareness through breath work, body work, meditation, chanting and prayer. Mindfulness techniques help us plumb the depths of prayer and Jewish practices while integrating our hearts and intellects.
