Shabbat at Temple Beth Or  


Friday Evening Torah services are held on the second and fourth Fridays of each month at 7:30 p.m, according to the above schedule. In addition, the first Shabbat of each month features a special 7:00 p.m. First Friday Family-Friendly Service. Shabbat evening services are followed by an Oneg Shabbat, where everyone partakes in refreshments, conversation and the opportunity to renew existing friendships and begin new ones (First Friday Family Services feature an ice-cream sundae Oneg!). Temple member families host Oneg Shabbats, on a rotating basis.

Saturday morning Mid-month Shabbat services are held on the third Saturday of each month at 10:00 a.m. Additional Saturday morning services are held whenever a B'nei Mitzvah service is scheduled. Refer to the above schedule for the dates of Saturday services.

Our Services involve a mixture of English and Hebrew, for which transliterations are supplied. Fluency in Hebrew is not necessary or expected. Musical leadership is supplied at all Shabbat services, either by Jewish musical professionals or member volunteers. We encourage individuals to make services more meaningful for both themselves and the congregation by participating in reading prayers, singing songs, and other service activities. Each service also contains opportunites to perform various service honors that are described in the document at the bottom of this page. Please consult with the Greeter at the entrance to the Sanctuary if you are interested in participating in a service honor.

There is no formal dress code for services, but we do ask that your clothing reflect your respect for the special nature of the sanctuary. Kippot (yarmulkes) and tallitot are available for those who choose to wear them. Children are welcome at all services. Parents are asked to be mindful of their children's behavior during times of worship. Childcare can be made available upon request.
