SHABBAT SERVICES

Temple Beth Am holds Shabbat Services every Friday evening and Saturday morning throughout the year.  To meet the needs of our diverse membership, which is comprised of people of all ages and backgrounds, we offer a number of different kinds of services at varying times.

In general, our Shabbat Evening Service takes place at 7:15pm in the sanctuary. Rabbi Miller and Cantor Schechtman, using the prayerbook, Mishkan T'Filah, lead the congregation in traditional Shabbat prayer and worship.  Once a month, we also read the Torah at our Shabbat Evening Service.

Walso have our popular Shabbat Unplugged service, which is an all-music, participatory service with a band of musicians, instruments in the congregation, singing and dancing.  This uplifting service welcomes Shabbat with not only prayer but music.  These services are typically held on the last shabbat of each month at 7:15pm

The students in our religious school and our Junior Choir lead a Family Service once a month at 7:00 pm.  This well-attended service highlights the progress that our children have made in their ability to read Hebrew and to lead the congregation in prayer.  Our 70-member Junior Choir (the largest in the northeast) is always a crowd pleaser with their enthusiastic renditions of the Shabbat prayers.  Each family service is preceded by a Family Shabbat Dinner at 6:00pm in the social hall.

Young children (ages 4-8) enjoy our Tot Shabbat services which are offered a few times a year both Friday evening and Saturday morning.  Large print, age-appropriate prayerbooks with beautiful illustrations are used and the children sing Shabbat melodies and hear wonderful Jewish stories.  Please check back at our website for

SABBATH MORNING MINYAN SERVICES
The Sabbath morning Minyan Service, held in the Library, meets every Saturday at 8:45am is a warm, welcoming atmosphere of friendship and Shabbat.  This participatory service (no Hebrew required) is a wonderful opportunity for discussing and examining aspects of the liturgy and their contemporary relevance, to participate in leading part of the worship service and to learn from one another. Study concludes with a Kiddush by 10:15am.

Rabbi Miller, Cantor Schechtman and members of the congregation alternate leading this group. Everyone is welcome

Our Shabbat Morning Service takes place in the sanctuary at 10:30am on mornings when there is a Bar or Bat Mitzvah.  The entire congregation is invited to worship at this service.
