Shabbat

Shabbat at B’nai Jehudah

Come pray with us. Every day of the week we have an opportunity to come together in prayer with B’nai Jehudah.

On Shabbat join us in person or virtually at 

  • 6:00 pm on Friday nights and 
  • 10:30 am on Saturday mornings

Shabbat is a time to join together in joy, contemplation and reflection. Shabbat at B’nai Jehudah combines community, ruach (spirit) and wonderful music into an uplifting service that will allow you to learn and celebrate. We combine traditional prayers with contemporary music to bring the ancient words of our tradition to life. We link ourselves to the 150 years of our history by celebrating the next link in the Jewish chain when we call a young person to the bima as a bar/bat mitzvah. 

Please join us in person virtually at Facebook Live* or Vimeo. 

Additional Shabbat worship opportunities are also available at B’nai Jehudah! Learn more about:
