Our services are open to all Jews, regardless of background or affiliation. Our style is friendly and welcoming. We seek to make all our attendees as comfortable as possible. The services are traditional, conducted with the beginner in mind. No experience needed.
Many of our people don't understand or read Hebrew. Therefore, our Machzor (the holiday prayer book) includes a translation of the entire prayer, so you can follow along (with the same page number) throughout.
Additionally, some of the prayers are read in English, and a running commentary by the Rabbi accompanies the entire service, including stories, inspirational thoughts, insights into the meaning of the prayers, and more. The service includes much festive as well as meditative singing. We make efforts to pick the well-known melodies.
There is no charge or membership fee to attend the services. We would be thankful if you could sponsor a prayer book for $30 each. You can do so here or just stop by the Jewish Center.
If you want to be more prepared and know what to expect, we will be more than happy to privately introduce you to the prayer book (the Machzor) at your convenience!
If sitting in the synagogue for 3 hours is not an option for you, try the Tashlich service, which is a 15-minute service done outdoors at the riverside. More details at the Tashlich section below.
