Worship and Study - Shabbat Services
2027-05-01 09:30 - 12:30 (America/New_York) | Harvard Hillel, MA
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.
