Worship and Events
Online & In-person Gatherings
During the Coronavirus pandemic, we are connecting our community online and in-person as it is safe and we are comfortable. Details for events are sent via our email list or by contacting Jill at mjsminkoff@gmail.com
Shabbat Gatherings
We are gathering both in-person and, at times, on Zoom. Worship Leaders may conduct an “open house” via Zoom; conduct the worship service in the synagogue; conduct the worship service and/or gathering outdoors; or offer a Shabbat meal in their homes. Plus, the Beth El and Bethlehem Hebrew Congregations are doing a few things together on some Fridays.
July 30 - Aaron Solnit, 7 PM, Synagogue.
August 6 **Special Service** 7 PM, Synagogue
This Service will mark New Year for Animals (Aug. 9) and, weather permitting, will be held outside our building so that you may bring your pet(s), and we can bless them along with blessing all animals. Jill Minkoff, Worship Leader
August 13 - Rene Rose, Worship Leader
August 20 - Steve Nichols, Worship Leader
August 27 - Aaron Solnit, Worship Leader
