Shabbat Morning Services
Dial in by phone: 646-876-9923 | Meeting ID: 892 6861 4329
At our Liberal Shabbat morning services, we draw on our traditions in a modern context. The style of the service reflects the evolution of Sabbath worship in this country, praying old and new liturgy in both Hebrew and English. We read the triennial, partial section of the k'riyah (reading of the Torah portion), always with a discussion to follow. Healing prayers are offered at every Torah service, along with an opportunity to say Mourner's Kaddish. The service ends at 12:30 p.m.

Next Shabbat, March 4–5, we join with our colleagues at HIAS and Jewish communities across the country in honoring Refugee Shabbat. This past year our hearts have swelled at the massive global effort to evacuate and find safe homes for Afghans fleeing for their lives; and they have broken seeing people whose lives are in danger being turned away at border crossings around the world. This is a critical moment for all of us to reaffirm and redouble our support for refugees and asylum seekers.
