Shabbat Morning Minyanim
| |
Sanctuary Service
|
 Beth Sholom is extremely proud of it traditional, egalitarian Shabbat Service. Every Shabbat morning, hundreds of regulars join together in our beautiful sanctuary. Lead by our three Rabbis and our wonderful shaliach tzibur, Cantor Ofer Barnoy, our service is spirited and participatory.
Everyone looks forward to Rabbi Alan Lucas’ or Rabbi Cecelia Beyer's sermon, where our rabbis exhibit a unique ability to connect the weekly Torah portion to contemporary issues.
We also take great pride in our Torah reading program, whereby Cantor Barnoy, works with congregants and prepares them to chant portions of the weekly parsha.

Informal, spirited, participatory, community-led davening (prayer). Welcoming and open to all ages. If you are interested in leading part of the service, reading Torah/Haftarah, or if you have any questions, contact David Rosenthal. The Shefa minyan meets once monthly in the Sandler Chapel. Shefa means "abundance". The Shefa Minyan celebrates the abundance of knowledge and spirituality within the TBS community, and the abundance of ritual options that our pluralistic, diverse, and vibrant community can enjoy.

Mishpacha Minyan
|
The Mishpacha Minyan, led by Rabbi Jeni Friedman for children ages 8 and up (and their parents, siblings, grandparents, etc.), meets every other week during the school year in the Sandler Chapel. Join Rabbi Friedman in a family-friendly Shabbat morning service where parents and children take the time to learn, pray and sing together. Each session families are invited to lead different parts of the service, have an aliyah together, or participate in a Torah skit or text study. The Mishpacha Minyan also provides a special time for children in our 6th Grade (or the Vav Class in our Religious School) to read from the Torah in preparation for their upcoming Bar or Bat Mitzvah. Using lots of fun new tunes and intergenerational activities, this service is a unique opportunity for parents and children to spend Shabbat together and to make connections with other families who are doing the same thing.

Minyan Yeladeynu
|
Our TBS Minyan Yeladeynu, for children ages 8 and up, meets every other week during the school year in the Library. Join Joe to learn about the customs and symbols of the Shabbat Morning Service and take turns leading different parts of the service including dancing the Amidah, the "Kick-Off", and "Stand up, Sit Down Cha-Cha-Cha." Each session we perform a skit based on the Torah portion, discuss the parasha, and talk about how it relates to us today. The best part about Minyan Yeladeynu is that everyone participates in some way and we always take the time to ask and answer questions about what we're doing. All questions are welcomed!

Mini Minyan
|
Our Mini Minyan for children ages 3 - 7, starts each Shabbat at 10:30 a.m. and lasts until approximately 12 Noon. Join Geri in the Youth Lounge for an energetic, child-centered Shabbat morning service. Through age appropriate songs, games and dancing, children gain familiarity with the basic structure of the Jewish prayer service and the weekly Torah reading. Each month we celebrate the birthdays of Mini Minyan participants, and on the Mini Minyan before an upcoming Jewish Holiday, the children create a Shabbat-friendly holiday themed art project to use at home. Each week, after Mini Minyan's celebratory Kiddush, the Mini Minyan participants lead Adon Olam for the entire congregation on the steps of the Bima in our Main Sanctuary.
