Shabbat   Weekly Shabbat services begin at 9:00 am and are led by Rabbi Allen Juda and Cantor Sam Guncler. We welcome and encourage congregational participation in the service, in the readings and songs, and in the chanting of the weekly Torah portion and the Haftarah. Our desire is for all of our members and guests to feel comfortable in our synagogue. At the conclusion of each Shabbat service, we welcome all congregants to partake of the Kiddush, a communal meal that provides an opportunity for refreshment and for social interaction - a chance to "shmooze" - to converse with friends, discuss the news of the day, meet new congregants, and catch up on the goings on of the community.
