Shabbat

Evening Shabbat Worship services are generally held each Friday night at Beth-El Congregation and led by Rabbi Ralph Mecklenburger. On occasion we will hold lay-lead services, Kabbalat Shabbat services or a family service. Times vary based upon the type of service. Please see below for the general times of our services.

Traditional Shabbat Morning services are held on Saturday mornings and are typically held only for special occasions such as a Bar or Bat Mitzvah.

Kabbalat Shabbat services have an earlier start time and generally are not as long as a traditional Shabbat service.

Family Shabbat service is a creative service, has an earlier start time, and the service is usually led by our Religious School students.

Please check our current calendar for specific service start times.
