Like all Jews, we mark the weekly "Sabbath" ("Day of Rest") from approximately sundown Friday to approximately sundown on Saturday. Our observance includes Erev Shabbat ("Eve of Shabbat") and Shabbat Sharchari (“Morning of Prayer”) services in the two sanctuaries of our shared campus.
OUR SERVICES
Our Shabbat services are about an hour in length and typically include:
Piano accompaniment with a number of songs - traditional and our own - with all encouraged to participate
Engaging, collaborative spirit and tone
Traditional service components follow the Mishkan T'filah: A Reform Siddur - with copies, complete with transliteration, available for all
A traditional Torah portion with context before and sermon after
An open invitation for names of those in need of prayer and those recently deceased or marking the anniversary of their passing.
Onegs ("The Good Stuff") with traditional wine and grape juice and challah as well as a variety of other snacks and beverages to enjoy while socializing.
GUESTS WELCOME
Visitors, including non-Jews, are welcome to attend our regular services. Please contact the office prior to close of business the week that you plan to attend. Groups interested in scheduling a visit should also contact the WJCC office.
