Bring your families to this wonderful evening, with a live band playing some of today’s most upbeat Jewish music. You will find yourself tapping your toes, clapping your hands and dancing to these contemporary melodies. Multiple musical genres are woven through the service, highlighting text from each of the Psalms, which creates an energizing and engaging service. A special prayer book offers Hebrew, transliteration and English to make this service user friendly. Listen to and download tracks from our website. Services will be held in the Linden Family Courtyard, weather permitting. This season has been generously underwritten by The Jan & Ron Moskowitz Family, Phyllis & Sidney Reisman and Jocelyn & Peter Saltz.

RIDES TO SHUL - A PILOT PROGRAM

Through the efforts of the synagogue’s Inclusion Committee, arrangements have been made with Jewish Family Service Association ("JFSA") to provide transportation to and from the synagogue for members who are unable to attend Shabbat morning services due to transportation issues. This JFSA van service will be operated by JFSA twice a month free of charge as a pilot project, funded through the generosity of the Joel Schwarz Memorial Chesed Fund and JFSA donor funds, starting in November and running through mid-May 2018. For more information click here.
