Services
Kabbalat Shabbat
Friday evenings at 6:30 pm
In Person or on Zoom
"Welcoming the Sabbath" is our service for Friday evening. It begins each week at 6:30 pm, and is followed by an Oneg (literally, "the joy of Shabbat," but idiomatically, "good food and conversation"). Typically, our Kabbalat Shabbat service is a participatory celebration: the music is both contemporary and traditional, and the teachings explore how ancient texts apply to modern life and challenges. The service may feature folk music, rock music with our very own rock band, Dahg or a more traditional Reform service. Zoom links are in the calendar. Passwords are available by calling the Temple Administrator at 802.862.5125.

Havdalah
Havdalah is a Hebrew word that means “separation” and is the ritual that ends Shabbat, separating it from the start of the new week. A beautiful brief ceremony, Havdalah uses four elements to mark the moment as we say goodbye to the beauty of Shabbat and pledge to carry its gifts into the week to come. Please check the Calendar for dates and times of our occasional Havdalah services.
