Shabbat at B'nai Tikvah
Every week, in person and also streaming, B'nai Tikvah welcomes Shabbat with joy, community and shared inspirational wisdom. Understanding that Shabbat means something different for everyone, we offer a variety of styles of services as well as alternative programming.
Kabbalat Shabbat Services
Friday evening services generally begin at 6 pm. Multiple times a year, we hold special celebrations for our Religious School or greater community, speakers programs and themed services that may have a different start time. We aim to create a feeling of extended family. Before and after services there is a time of socializing and during the service we light candles, make kiddush and motzei on challah, and share personal blessings.

Shabbat Morning Services
Shabbat mornings provide a time of more in-depth spiritual exploration, study, discussion and celebration. Our services begin at 10 am in person and online. During the school year, our Religious School students join the congregation for the morning service. Students then move to the classrooms for learning while adults remain in the Sanctuary. Typically, services finish before noon and the community joins together to enjoy a light Kiddush lunch.
Services streamed on LiveControl and YouTube.
