Friday Night
We offer Kabbalat Shabbat Services every Friday night. In addition, special programs are offered during each month. Each second Friday of the month, our Barkhu at the Booths program is offered. (Some of these programs are held off-site.) There are also Family Programming and Young Adult programs offered. Some of our Friday night services are off-site.
