Shabbat Services

Friday, August 14, 2026

Erev Shabbat Service and Sha-BBQ

We’ll start the evening with an abbreviated Shabbat service at 6pm and then follow with our Sha-BBQ. Our annual Sha-BBQ is a great opportunity for our community to gather outside on our beautiful lawn to share in a traditional American meal of hamburgers and hot dogs after honoring the beginning of Shabbat with a short service. In the event of inclement weather, we’ll still Sha-BBQ, just inside!

Non-alcoholic beverages, hamburgers, hot dogs, veggie burgers and accouterments are provided by CBSRZ. We ask that guests bring a NON-DAIRY (no pork or shellfish, please) dish to share, potluck style.

Please RSVP below.
