Shabbat
Our Shabbat services are warm and friendly with a mix of English and Hebrew. Our melodies are both traditional and contemporary.
We use the Mishkan T'filah Reform siddur/prayerbook.
Children and families are always welcome at services. There is nothing we like more than to pray to the sounds of children's voices.

You don't have to spend all day making an elaborate Shabbat meal for it to be special. Special just means out of the ordinary. What is something you don't usually eat? Maybe you let the kids choose the main course, or order take-out, or try different cuisines from different Jewish communities around the world. The possibilities are endless – be creative!

Shabbat is full of blessings and opportunities to be grateful for what we have in our lives. You can learn and say these blessings at home.
