Schedule of Worship Services

Our congregation adheres to the principles of Conservative Judaism and Emet Ve'emunah, a statement of the philosophy of Conservative Judaism completed by the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism in 1988. We observe the laws of Kashrut, the traditions of Shabbat, and use Siddur Sim Shalom and Chumash Etz Hayim for prayer and meditation. Most Avodah HaShem (worship services), except for the Shabbat Morning Service of a Bar or Bat Mitzvah, are held in the Bookey Chapel.
