Shabbat

Shabbat

Shabbat is a day on which we are called upon to share in what is eternal in time, to turn from the results of creation to the mystery of creation; from the world of creation to the creation of the world.

– Abraham Joshua Heschel

Two Shabbat candles and challah in Temple Micah's sanctuary

We believe that we are all part of this sacred creation, that on Shabbat we can each become challah bakers, oneg hosts, and Torah readers, as a way of connecting to a life that aligns with the creative and leads to the sacred. Click the section headings at the bottom of this page to find information about our Shabbat services, plus additional videos and playlists. 

Friday Night – Services begin at 6:30 p.m. All are welcome to join us around 6 p.m. for Oneg prior to the service.

Saturday Morning – Services begin at 10:15 a.m. All are welcome to join us for Kiddush following the service.
