"More than the Jewish people has kept the Sabbath, the Sabbath has kept the Jewish people."
-Ahad Ha-Am, Jewish writer
Most people associate holidays with yearly festivities, but in Judaism, one holiday happens every week - the Sabbath.
This holiday, known in Hebrew as Shabbat and in Yiddish as Shabbos, is fundamental to Jewish life. The Sabbath has truly become a unifying influence for Jews all over the world.
Shabbat at Temple Shalom is a one-of-a-kind and profound experience. On Friday nights and Saturday mornings, our Sanctuary fills up as the congregation and our welcomed guests participate in prayer and music. Our Shabbat services are also livestreamed from the Sanctuary.
Friday night service (during season starting September 10)* - 7:30pm
Friday night service (during the summer)* - 6:00pm
Saturday morning service - 10:00 am
*We have Beach Shabbat several times a year on Friday nights on the beach at Lowdermilk Park.
Welcome Shabbat with your toes in the sand as the sun sets at this magical Shabbat experience.
