Worship Services
Worship services and holiday celebrations are a unique part of our Jewish identity. Our services are very participatory. Members are asked, as they are comfortable, to serve as Gabbai, for an aliyah, to open the ark, to dress the Torah or to lead readings. We also support individuals who wish to play additional roles, such as a leyner who chants from the Torah.
Saturday morning Shabbat services are held at 10:00 am all year round. Our Saturday morning Shabbat services are multi-access and can be joined in-person or on Zoom. These services tend to be traditional in nature, as we seek to serve the needs of a variety of religious backgrounds. They last less than ninety minutes and feature all the sections of a morning service, Torah reading, Haftarah portion and musaf service. A festive kiddush follows.
Join us for Torah Yoga, an hour of yoga with Jenn of Illume Pittsburgh, from 8:45am to 9:45am on the third Saturday of each month. Torah Yoga is held on Zoom.
We hold weekly Kabbalat Shabbat services on the first and third Friday evenings of each month from September through June.
The first Friday of each month features our Family "First Friday" service, during which we use The Voices of Children children's siddur. It is a briefer service of approximately 30 to 45 minutes. Our religious school students often help lead services. All people who are young or young at heart are invited! These services begin at 7:00 pm and are followed by an delightful Oneg.
The service on the third Friday of each month varies. Depending on the month, we may celebrate a holiday or have a guest speaker. Check our Events Calendar to see what third Friday service will feature this month! These services begin at 7:30 pm.
