Our congregation recognizes that when it comes to spiritual experiences and uplift, “one size does not fit all.” We offer a variety of other alternative Shabbat services and experiences throughout the year. Our Ritual Committee, with the support of our rabbis, is at the forefront of conceiving and developing these spiritual opportunities and would welcome your ideas and responses.
