Shabbat & Holidays

			Services Every Shabbat
			Shabbat services are held for every Shabbat of the year, including during the summer months and on national holidays. Friday night Kabbalat Shabbat, and Saturday Shabbat morning and afternoon services are all performed. Services are comprehensive, including full Torah readings when appropriate.

			Services Every Holiday
			Holiday services are held for every Religious Holdiay of the year. Services are comprehensive, including full Torah readings when appropriate.

			Kiddish Luncheons
			Full sit-down luncheons are served every Shabbat, and for many Holidays. Simcha celebrations are often included in the luncheons.

			Havdalah Services
			At the conclusion of every Shabbat and Holiday, a Havdalah service is performed. This service marks the end of a Shabbat and the beginning of a new week, or the end of a Holiday and a return to the regular week’s activities. Children often participate and enjoy helping with Havdalah services.

			Non-Egalitarian and Egalitarian Shabbat Services
			On some Shabbat mornings during the year, we conduct two Shabbat morning services, one in a Traditional Non-Egalitarian format, and the other in a Traditional Egalitarian format. Both services start at the same time, are conducted in parallel in separate rooms in our facility, and end together with one common kiddish luncheon. On those days, family members have a choice of which Shabbat service to attend.

			Service Schedules
			Please check our Service Schedules for up-to-date service dates and times.

			Visitors Are Always Welcome
			We welcome everyone from the Jewish Community to attend any of our services at the JCCP.
