Weekly Prayer and Study

Prayer

Shabbat Evening Services are weekly at 7:30p.  A special First Friday Service occurs on the first Friday of each month starting at 6:00p.  The time of each week's Shabbat evening service can be found by viewing our calendar.

There is a Family Service each Sunday morning in our Sanctuary from 11:30a-noon when Religious School is in session.

Weekday morning service - For early risers, or people who have a few minutes to spare before going to work, this is a midweek spiritual check in on Wednesday mornings. We pray, sing, and hopefully leave inspired having shared a laugh or two along the way. 7:45a-8:10a. Come in through the office doors on James Street, and come upstairs to the sanctuary.

Study

Torah Study - Join us weekly on Shabbat morning as we explore the mysteries and wonders of Torah, and ask about their meanings in our lives. All are welcome, dress is casual, no prior knowledge is necessary, coffee is served. We begin at 9:00a and conclude at 10:00a (if there is a Bar or Bat Mitzvah) or 10:30a (including a short Shabbat morning service.) Enter through the office doors on James Street. We meet in the large double classroom at the top of the stairs.

Talmud - Bring your lunch on Tuesdays from noon until 1:00p. Don’t be intimidated when you hear that we’re studying the Talmud. All of our studies are in English, and all insights are valued. You’ll enjoy the twists and turns the Talmud takes as these 2000 year old teachings inform our lives today. Enter through the glass doors on Duke Street.

Book Group - For now, we’re working on Elie Weisel’s book, Wise Men and their Tales. Enjoy the writing of this masterful storyteller as he guides us through the stories of some of the greats of our people from Biblical times forward. We meet from noon to 1:00p on Mondays. Enter the building through the glass doors on Duke Street.

For all of these, we would suggest emailing the Temple office at office@shaarai.org before attending for the first time, just to make sure things are happening on schedule.
