Services
We prefer to have a lively service with melodies, rather than one which mainly chanting or silent prayer. Friday evening services are conducted in a balanced mix of Hebrew and English. The prayerbook has transliteration for most of the Hebrew. The service often includes a discussion topic on the Torah or other timely subjects. Saturday morning services have more Hebrew with lots of participatory singing and an involved Torah Service. It is very important to us that services are meaningful to everyone.
Guests are always welcome at our services. Please check the grid below as Fri. eve. services start at either 6:00 PM or 8:00 PM and Saturday services begin at 10:00 AM @ Temple Beth Am, except 9:30AM on festivals, and either 9:00 AM or 9:30 AM when at joint off-site locations. Services are also held on all major holidays.
