New Shabbat Service Time Starting September
Thanks to the many members who participated in the survey we conducted to determine what our congregation considers to be the optimal times for our various Friday evening Shabbat services. Starting in September, our Friday evening service times will be:
- 7:00 p.m. for Family Shabbat Services. This is unchanged.
- 7:30 p.m. for regular Friday evening Shabbat Services (formerly 8:00 p.m.)
