On the First Friday night of the month, we will continue with our Family Shabbat service, where children from our religious school will help lead worship and also sing along with Mike Blum on guitar. The classes participating that night will also join in a Shabbat dinner at the temple prior to the service.

On the second and fourth Friday nights we will be trying something new. In addition to the regular service in the main sanctuary, a parallel Shabbat service for young people will take place in the chapel. This highly participatory worship experience for children will be led by Ike Tawil.

The Third Friday night of the month will be a musical theme and will feature Mike Blum and other musicians as we celebrate Shabbat with songs taken from both modern and traditional sources. This service is designed to be highly spiritual, with lots of singing, clapping and joy!

We will also be reading from the Torah during Friday night Shabbat worship with the exception of the Family Shabbat service. We hope to use the opportunity of expanded Torah readings to honor those who are celebrating a simcha like a birthday, anniversary or other milestone. Please contact the office if you would like to have an aliyah in which to mark a special event in your life. We will also send out emails to remind you as well.

Together, let us Serve G-d with gladness; Come before Him with joyful singing.

Shabbat mornings are special at Temple Emanuel. Come for a nosh at 9:00 followed by a lively discussion about the week's Torah portion at 9:30. Services begin at 10:30. Afterwards we invite you enjoy a light Kiddush.
