Shabbat
Exuberant and harmonious singing, teaching and discussions, meditation, drumming and chanting, are all part of Shabbat at Emanu-El. Whether you are looking for a traditional Shabbat service led by our Rabbis and Cantor in the Sanctuary, or the lay-led Minyan Hadash, or Soulful Shabbat with meditative practices, we have something for everyone. In addition to our spirited Kabbalat Shabbat service we offer Shabbat Chai onces a month, an interactive service featuring musical instruments. Of course, we also offer many programs for children and young families, including Junior Congregation, Tot Shabbat, Family Serivces and EKS (Early Kabbalat Shabbat).
