Worship and Spiritual Life at Congregation Beth Shalom

Congregation Beth Shalom is a vibrant and diverse spiritual community where worship, tradition, and joy come alive every day of the year. Our daily services and special celebrations offer meaningful opportunities for connection, reflection, and inspiration.

Shabbat at Beth Shalom
Each Shabbat, you’re invited to experience the richness of our tradition in a way that speaks to you. Welcome Shabbat on Friday evenings with an intimate service in our beautiful Feather Beit Midrash, and join us on Shabbat mornings for uplifting worship in the Kamensky Sanctuary followed by a Kiddush lunch.

Families with young children can enjoy a variety of creative and engaging Shabbat programs throughout the month — including Ark Adventures, Shabbat With a Twist, Let There Be Play, Family Shabbat, and more. Children of all ages are always welcome in all our services, accompanied by their grownups. Our Kamensky Sanctuary features a “Prayground” with toys and books to help keep small hands occupied during services.

Daily Minyan
Our twice-daily minyan, held every morning and evening, allows congregants and community members to begin and end each day in prayerful community. These services offer comfort and support for those observing a yahrzeit or in mourning, as well as a grounding ritual for all who attend. Services are available both in person and via live stream.

Holiday Celebrations
We celebrate Jewish holidays with spirit and joy, blending cherished tradition with creative expression. From congregational dinners in the sukkah to the festive energy of Simchat Torah and the joyful chaos of Purim — complete with Megillah readings and shpiels — our holidays are rich with meaning and community spirit.

For Shavuot, we host a community dairy meal and late-night study session, offering a beautiful mix of learning, prayer, and connection. Every holiday is a chance to come together to learn, pray, and rejoice.

Participating in Religious Life
Congregants play an active role in our religious life — from polishing Torah silver before the High Holy Days to leading daily services, chanting Torah, ushering, supporting Shiva minyanim, and more. There are countless ways to get involved, grow, and give back.

B’nai Mitzvah Preparation
Our comprehensive b’nai mitzvah program prepares students for this important milestone through a combination of classroom learning and personalized tutoring. Students learn to chant from the Torah and Haftarah, lead prayers, and explore core Jewish values through our “Three Pillars” program, focusing on mitzvot, tzedakah, and text study.

Come Worship With Us
We warmly invite you to participate in the rich religious life of Congregation Beth Shalom. Whether in our Feather Beit Midrash, Kamensky Sanctuary, or even under the summer sky in our parking lot, you’ll find warmth, welcome, spirit, and joy.
