Shabbat

Pray Together

Celebrating sacred time is a focal point for our Temple family. Whether joining together weekly to celebrate Shabbat, marking the liturgical cycle on holidays, or observing milestone moments in the lives of our congregants, the physical and spiritual sanctuaries of Temple Beth El provide a place to gather for inspiration, comfort, and connection  – with fellow congregants and with God.

Our Shabbat and holiday/festival services offer something for everyone, with family-focused, traditional, and creative Jewish services.  We use the Reform Movement’s prayer book, Mishkan T’filah, supplemented with readings, music, and commentary to uplift and inspire our congregation.

Shabbat worship is the highlight of our week, where music lifts our souls and meditative moments bring us to a sense of mindful awareness.
