Saturday Morning Shabbat
Shabbat morning services in the sanctuary include Shacharit, the Torah Service, and Musaf. Congregants often lead parts of the service and have the honor of reading the weekly Torah portion, and members and visitors alike may receive an aliyah. Rabbi Katzan shares a sermon and engages the community in discussion. Mourners and those observing a yahrzeit lead the Mourner’s Kaddish.

Blue Ribbon Project
