How does Beth Or celebrate the Sabbath and the Jewish holidays?
Our Shabbat services and holiday programs contribute to our warm feeling of community. To be authentic in expressing our ideology, our religious observances focus on universal human ideals, such as freedom, justice, peace, compassion, integrity, honesty, responsibility, and dignity, expressed in meditations, poetry, and songs. We hold weekly Shabbat services at 7:30 PM on Friday evenings. Once a month that service is a family service and congregational dinner, beginning at 6:30 PM. Family education programs are integrated into our family services. Throughout the year, we observe the calendar of Jewish holidays, emphasizing themes appropriate to each.
