The needs of the Reform and Conservative movements are met in our services. Friday evening services begin each week at 7:30 pm. There are monthly Saturday morning services on the second Saturday at 10 am. On the fourth Saturday of each month there is a children’s service at 10 am followed by Torah study at 11 am.
Our prayer book is the CCAR “Gates of Prayer”. An Oneg follows weekly Friday evening Shabbat services, sponsored on a voluntary basis by members of the congregation.
Rosh Hashanah is celebrated on the first night and both mornings of the holiday. The Kol Nidre and Yom Kippur Day services are attended by both reform and conservative members. We observe two separate endings to Yom Kippur afternoon services, one at aprox. 5 pm followed by a break-fast; and one at sunset. The prayer book for High Holidays is “The Gates of Repentance”. The Silverman Mahzor is used for the second day of Rosh Hashanah and the latter afternoon and closing services of Yom Kippur.
There are special Shabbat services such as the Hadassah Shabbat at which Hadassah members conduct the service. We also celebrate other Jewish holidays including Sukkot, Simchat Torah, Hanukkah, Purim, Passover, Shavuot and Tu B’Shevat. A community Seder is held on the second night of Passover.
