Prayer at Temple Mount Sinai

Picture
God's Candle/Our Soul
At Temple Mount Sinai, our worship services are noted for their inclusiveness and accessibility. We pray from Mishkan Tefilah, the siddur of the Reform movement. Our prayerbook make use of transliteration, which allows those who have not yet learned to read the Hebrew letters to participate fully in those portions of the service which are in Hebrew. Rabbi Bach's divrei torah ("sermons") bring the weekly Torah portions and the words of prayers to life for modern Jews. Joyful music - sung from the bima and from the pews - helps to create our special community.

Please consult the web calendar to confirm the time and location of this week's services.

How we celebrate Shabbat

Our Kabbalat Shabbat Services are held at 6:15 pm every Friday. They are joyful and musical, with a brief d'var torah (sermon). We offer an Oneg Shabbat at 5:45, with appetizers. The service typically concludes at about 7:15 pm.(Note: Periodically, Friday services are moved to 8:00 pm for special services.  Please visit our calendar to confirm the time of this week's service.)

Family Kabbalat Shabbat Services
On the first Friday of each month, Shabbat services are conducted from Gates of Prayer for Young People, the Reform movement's prayerbook for children.  Rabbi Bach tells a story and offers a blessing for the members of our community who are celebrating a birthday or anniversary during the month.

Shabbat Morning Services, 10:30 am every Saturday. The focus of our Shabbat morning service is the reading and discussion of the weekly Torah portion. Like our Kabbalat Shabbat services the night before, Shabbat morning is joyful and music-filled.

Torah Study precedes the service, at 9:30 am.
