Worship and Study – Shabbat Services

Worship and Study is a welcoming, participatory congregation with a deep commitment to Jewish pluralism, egalitarianism, and freedom of inquiry.

Shabbat services include: spirited, musical davening (prayer) grounded in  traditional liturgy; a lively, wide-ranging Torah discussion; and a convivial Kiddush. We rely on our members to lead us in prayer and teach us Torah, and we are always seeking new voices to uncover new facets of our tradition.
