Services

At this time, all services are virtual. Please contact the temple office (admin@berchayim.org) if you would like a link to participate via Zoom. When the building reopens, we will return to onegs following the weekly Friday evening Shabbat services sponsored by members of the congregation.

We are respectful to the needs of members with Reform or Conservative backgrounds. Friday evening services begin at 7:30 pm, except for the first Friday of the month. On that week we do not hold Friday evening services, as we have Shabbat morning services at 10:00 am. Every third Saturday morning there is Torah study which begins at 10:00 am.

Our prayer book is the CCAR Mishkan T’Filah which can be accessed in flip book format via this link: Mishkan T’filah.

We also celebrate Jewish holidays, such as Sukkot, Simchat Torah, Hanukkah, Purim, Passover, Shavuot and Tu B’Shevat, and hold a community Seder on the second night of Passover. From time to time we hold special Shabbat services that recognize important events.
