General Information
One
of the Greatest assets of Beth El is our flourishing Tefillah Services:
Shabbat Morning, afternoon, and evening, as well as daily and holiday
services. Many of our members, participate and enjoy attending our
revolutionary, warm, friendly, and exciting prayer services. Our
services welcome everyone, and try to fill the needs of the young as
well as the older individual at Beth El. We offer Learner's Minyanim to
help those who have not had the opportunity to learn the the
traditional prayer service on their own, those who are looking for new
meaning in prayer, or those just looking for a smaller service aside
from the main sanctuary. The participants of the minyan enjoy
participation, respect, and exciting methods of prayer. It gives our
members an opportunity to try something new.

A
NEW TIME FOR THE SHABBAT SERVICE
A NEW SHABBAT & FESTIVAL SIDDUR
Siddur Hadash - the counterpart to
the Mahzor we use on the High Holy Days - is now the Siddur we use each
Shabbat morning in the Shapiro Sanctuary. Published in 1997, it is both
contemporary and bound to history, reflecting the best Jewish Tradition
has to offer. With its gender neutral translations and readings and
vast transliterations, the text is easy to follow and - to use a phrase
from the world of technology - "user friendly."
The introductory b'rakhot and psalms
to introduce the Shabbat morning service begin at 9 a.m. (not 8:45),
with Kaddish shortly thereafter. A second Kaddish is recited immediatly
prior to the Torah service at 9:45.
Please join us each Shabbat morning
for the uplifting and life- filled service beginning at 9 a.m. with
Siddur Hadash.

Daily
Our
quaint and personal minyan meets
every morning at 7:15 AM, evening 5:45 in the Roth Chapel. On Sundays
and Holidays services begin at 8:15 AM. If you do not know the service,
our warm community will be happy to teach you and help you learn. We
welcome all, young and old, experienced and new. It is after all a
mitzvah in Judaism to not only daven three times a day, but to fill a
minyan. This service is also supportive to our congregants needing to
fulfill the obligation of saying Kaddish after the passing of a loved
one. We hope to see you there.
