Weekly Services
Offering a mix of prayer, song, meditation and learning, Kol HaLev’s diverse array of Shabbat services provide regular opportunities for us to actively engage together in the ritual of Shabbat and create a greater connection with our community and ourselves.
SOMETIMES DUE TO SCHEDULING CONFLICTS SERVICES MAY CHANGE DATES, PLEASE CONSULT THE MONTHLY CALENDAR.
FIRST OF THE MONTH KABBALAT SHABBAT – First Friday 7:00 pm (with light oneg) and First Saturday Minyans 10:00 am of each month.
The "Receiving of Shabbat," is a service designed to welcome the Sabbath “bride/queen” with song and joy (and affection and intimacy), followed by blessings and an oneg (“delight,” usually light refreshments and desserts). All are invited to come for the acknowledgment of both joyous and sad occurrence (saying Kaddish for recent deaths and yahrzeits) and celebrating simchas (joys, such as new babies, birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, accomplishments, etc.) as a community.
MINDFUL MINYAN – Second Saturday morning of each month
10:00 am
Our Mindful Minyan is a more contemplative and meditative Shabbat morning gathering. “Mindfulness” is often understood as “awareness of the present experience without judgment,” and we use a variety of modalities (e.g., breath work, meditation, chanting and poetry) to help us enter into and extract new meaning and insight from prayers and Jewish practices while integrating our hearts and intellects.
SHABBAT MORNING SERVICES – Third and fourth Saturday mornings of each month 10:00 am
Kol HaLev’s traditional worship services adhere to a prescribed order and content, including something from Birchot hashachar, Pesukey d’zimra, Shacharit, Torah (sorry, no Musaf). We often pause and linger on something for comments and understandings. Torah service always entails learning and discussion.
SHABBAT UNPLUGGED!!
Please join us every 4th Friday at 7:00 pm for “Shabbat Unplugged" featuring our own KHL musicians playing multiple instruments, leading us in song with melodies, new and old, some written by the Israeli group, Nava Tehila & some by our own Cantor George. You don’t want to miss this - so come experience this Shabbat Unplugged service.
CITY SHABBAT

Learn Hebrew!
As an entry point into Judaism and Jewish life, Hebrew language familiarity is the "Golden Gate." Those who have learned a little Hebrew can attest to how much more they can understand, access the wisdom, participate in and appreciate our communal services, celebrations and commemorations. All are welcome; no Hebrew required. As soon as it is safe to resume classes, KHL will offer an "Aleph Bet for Beginners" class on Wednesdays (5:00 to 6:00 p.m.) and Hebrew Literacy for adults is offered throughout the year on Wednesdays, (6:00 to 7:00 p.m.).
Shabbat Music
Kol HaLev, with the guidance of Cantor George has been introducing new, exciting, stimulating, joyful music to our services. Much of this music is for Friday nights and is played by Kol HaLev Unplugged on the fourth Friday night of the month. Kol HaLev Unplugged has made recordings so that the community can learn the melodies more easily. This link takes you to the recordings and the lyrics for the songs. You can also check out our latest You Tube video of Kol HaLev Unplugged singing Cantor George's Shalom Rav! Come to Shabbat and enjoy guitar, drum, voices and song!
