Shabbat

Shabbat is a weekly reprieve from the distractions of day-to-day existence.  In the synagogue, we face life as it is—from the happy ushering in of Shabbat with the ancient song "Lekha Dodi", to bringing current relevance to the week's Torah portion, to offering solace to mourners with the Kaddish.  Our services are designed to engage in prayer in its fullest intensity — to feel the full range of life's emotions, whatever is true for us in that moment, be it joy, hurt, gratitude, anger, or amazement.  We structure time for quiet reflection, at the beginning of Shabbat evening and during Shabbat morning's Shacharit service.  Shabbat is our time to reflect and to remind us of how to live as our best and unique selves.

We celebrate the diversity in how our congregants choose to observe, offering both a modern Conservative service, recognizing women on the bima, as well as the more traditional Conservative service. Please come join us weekly as you please.

A Mi Sheberach is a public prayer or blessing for a loved one in need often recited in synagogue when the Torah is being read.  Click here to add a name to our Mi Sheberach list, or e-mail their English and Hebrew name to office@shaareshamayim.org.

Conservative Egalitarian Services

We offer an egalitarian worship for both men and women to have aliyahs, read from the Torah, and hear inspirational Ashkenzi & Sephardic tunes.

Conservative Traditional Services

We offer a Conservative service which follows a more traditional path where men, alone, participate on the bima and in Torah reading.
