Our Services

Temple Emeth holds religious services for both adults and children throughout the year. Our services are egalitarian, highly musical, personalized and creative religious experiences. We use both the Hebrew and English texts of the renowned Sim Shalom prayer book. All are welcome!


Shabbat

Kabbalat Shabbat Friday evening service begins weekly at 6 pm. In addition, once a month a First Friday ~ Tot Shabbat evening service is held for preschool children and their families.

Shabbat services are held in the sanctuary on Saturday mornings beginning at 9:30 am. Kiddush follows.

Youth services are held at 10:30 am on selected Shabbat mornings – check website calendar for dates – and include:

  • Perachim (“Flowers”) for preschoolers – Includes music, movement, and stories with a Shabbat theme, and is followed by a snack of challah and juice. Parents are welcome!
     
  • Chavayah (“Experiences”) for students in grades K through 6 - A joyful expression of Shabbat rituals, maximizing student participation and engaging them in Shabbat learning and doing. At its conclusion, students then take part in the Sanctuary service, and enjoy Kiddush with the congregation. Parents invited to attend Sanctuary service.

Daily Minyan

Morning and evening daily minyan, held in the Chapel, provides for the spiritual needs of both Temple members and non-members in the Jewish community. Please let the leader know if you are observing a Yahrzeit, so that you can be offered an opportunity to lead the service, or to accept an honor.

Minyan times are:

Monday -Thursday: 7 am* and 7 pm
Friday: 7 am* and 6 pm
Saturday: Sundown (check calendar for exact times)
Sunday: 8:30 am and 6 pm

*If a secular holiday falls on a weekday, service begins 8:30 am.


Shabbat For Your Mind, Body and Soul
Please join us for Temple Emeth's monthly, alternative Shabbat morning service, led by Rabbi Navah Levine. Combining Jewish chant, meditation, movement and discussion, we aim to engage our whole selves - mind, body and soul - as we explore the core aspects of the Shabbat liturgy and what it might mean to each of us to pray with a community. People of all backgrounds and levels of Jewish knowledge are welcome. Check website calendar for next service date. For more information click here or email Rabbi Levine.
