Services
Kabbalat Shabbat (Friday night) services are held at 7:30 PM. Each service is followed by an Oneg Shabbat.
On the first Friday of each month, the service is designated a "Community Shabbat". This service is intended to be highly participatory and ideal for everyone, including families with young children. The 45-minute service begins at 7:30 PM and is followed by a joyous Oneg Shabbat at 8:15 PM.
Please plan to attend and see for yourself the steps that are being taken to bring innovation and renewed energy to our religious services.
Shabbat morning services begin each Saturday morning at 9:30 AM. There is a kiddush following services, with the exception of a monthly Shabbat luncheon. We also have services for most holidays - please consult the calendar of events posted on this website.

Website of the Month
The Steven Spielberg Jewish Film Archive began to make its films accessible online in 2002. This has been made possible by funds raised by the American Friends of the Hebrew University in honor of Jack Valenti, Chairman of the Motion Picture Association of America. Over a five-year period approximately 100 films are being added annually until over 500 full films will be viewable over the internet. It is the Archive's hope that this pioneering effort will be of benefit to all users, whether for purposes of study, research or production. Over 300 films are currently available.

A beautiful video honoring
Israel's 60th Anniversary.
This is a must see!

Millions of Israel supporters around the world complain about "Israel PR". Why is our image so bad, they ask? Why is Israel one of the most misunderstood countries in the world?

Most people are not aware of Israel’s many contributions to the world, in areas such as combating disease, protecting the environment, developing alternative energy, fighting worldwide hunger, creating life-changing technologies, and so on.

Ads4Israel is a non-profit organization dedicated exclusively to producing and running ads in the mainstream media to promote Israel’s many gifts to the world.  The ads run in mainstream newspapers and T.V. stations of major markets, helping to reach tens of millions of people with powerful statements about Israel’s value to the world.

Ads4Israel is a chance for every supporter of Israel to help elevate the image of the country they love.

We ask that Jewish adults in the community come and help us make a minyan, especially for those who need to say Kaddish.   Your attendance will be a true gift for those who come to honor God and the memories of loved ones.

Services will be held this coming Friday evening and Saturday morning - check the calendar for details. Please attend -- for yourself, and for your community.
