The observance of Shabbat continues on Saturday morning with a Traditional - Egalitarian service (women and men participate equally) which includes congregant participation on all levels, including children. Kiddush Luncheon follows the service.

Holidays And Festivals

All holidays and festivals are celebrated with concern for family participation. Emphasis on children is especially evident at Purim and Simhat Torah.

Special attention is paid to celebrating life cycle moments (weddings, bar/bat mitzvas, birthdays, anniversaries, etc.) during the Saturday morning service.
