About our Worship Services

Our main services are traditional and inclusive. We are an egalitarian community, and welcome all to wear a head covering during services, and also wear a tallit if they choose. We encourage our congregation to dress how they feel most comfortable for Shabbat services. Often times, people feel more comfortable dressing up for Shabbat, but we are welcoming of less formal attire as well. Children are invited to stay with their parents in the sanctuary. We have a “Pray and Play” room for adults to be able to see and hear the service while with a child who is playing a little too loud for the service, and often provide children’s services on Shabbat mornings.
