Worship

Har HaShem offers many opportunities for you to experience the comfort and spiritual challenge of communal prayer.  In addition to our special services for holidays, we offer a large variety of Shabbat worship opportunities.  For our Friday night services, we invite you to stay for an oneg Shabbat celebration, food and conversation afterwards. Please note: these services and service times are subject to change. Please consult our calendar for specific service types, times and dates. 

Erev Shabbat: Friday Evening Services

Led by either Rabbi Bronstein or Rose and Cantorial Soloist Holli Berman. This service is both Hebrew and English with a balance of singing, silence, and readings and is an engaging and meditative way to welcome in Shabbat. 

Second Shabbat 

Welcome the second Shabbat of every month with a service of joyous song.  Join the Har HaShem House Band for an uplifting and inspiring musical Shabbat.

Kabbalat Tot Shabbat Services 

This service is not just for tots!  Join us for this family-friendly Shabbat service with singing, engaging prayers and readings, and a child-friendly teaching by one of our rabbis.

7:00 p.m. Friday Evening Shabbat Services

Led by either Rabbi Bronstein or Rose and Cantorial Soloist Holli Berman. This service is both Hebrew and English with a balance of singing, silence, and readings and is an engaging and meditative way to welcome in Shabbat. . This service is different from the 6:00 p.m. service in that it includes a Torah service and chanting of the weekly parshah.

9:00 am Shabbat Morning Torah Study and Minyan

After bagels and coffee, we read and then discuss the weekly Torah portion. In each session we get lost in the twisting narrative of the Torah’s teaching and in the process have the chance to find a bit of ourselves reflected there.  As we learn to delve deeply into the Torah we find that it has much to teach us about our own lives.  In each session, the rabbi will bring insights from the tradition – the imaginative, mystical, inspiring and instructive – and use them to lead a discussion. No knowledge of Hebrew or previous familiarity with Torah required.  Please join for a musical and meditative Shabbat morning service following the Torah discussion.

10:00 a.m. Service

This is our traditional Saturday morning worship service that are led by our clergy and the student or students who are becoming b’nai mitzvah.  Please note services are held only on Shabbatot in which we have a child or children becoming b’nai mitzvah.
