Types of Services

Daily Minyan
Everyone is welcome to this brief, meaningful service. Held at 7:20 am and 5:45 pm weekdays, and 9:30 am and 5:45 pm Sundays and national holidays.

Shabbat Evening
Every Friday evening at 6 pm we usher in Shabbat with a joyous and music-filled service: 
Traditional: Our tranquil Kabbalat Shabbat service features the warmth of the traditional Nusach Hatefilla (special music of the day). The melodies are familiar and inviting. 
​
Carlebach Service: Lift your spirits by attending one of our Friday evening Carlebach services, held about once a month. The soul stirring niggunim (melodies) of the late Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach help us begin Shabbat with joy and devotion.

Friday Night Live: About once a month we welcome Shabbat with a special service featuring our choir or band. The music may be some of America’s most talented singer-songwriters or the Hassidic style of repeating a melody over and over to release us from the confines of rationality and allow our creative-emotional side to come into play. Sing, dance, celebrate, meditate, find love, peace and rest on Shabbat.

Family Fridays for Families with Young Children:
Families with young children through Kindergarten are invited to a special Shabbat worship service just for them. The service is designed for the youngest family members with singing, stories and prayers in an appropriately short duration. There is often a dinner preceding the service. Once every three months. 

Makom for Young Adults hosts a Shabbat dinner and prayer service the third Friday of each month for people in their 20s & 30s to “refresh, recharge, renew.” The evening typically starts with Kabbalat Shabbat service at 6 pm, followed by a 7 pm potluck dinner. 

 

Shabbat Morning
Services begin at 9:30 am, led by our Rabbis and Hazzan. Feel free to take a book from the Shabbat Reading Shelf as you enter the Sanctuary. On many Shabbat mornings you will find an adult or family learning opportunity taking place. There is a soundproof privacy room overlooking the bimah (pulpit) for parents with active children not in babysitting. Join Us!

SPA - Soulful Prayer at Adath 
Led by Rabbi Aaron Weininger along with the sounds of Nancy Krawetz on guitar, Elizabeth “EB” Barnard on drums, Jennifer Gray leading call and response chant, and lots of lai lai lais.Come as you are & bring a friend—great for those with deep faith or doubt (or both) and everyone in between.
