Services
Our services are a combination of traditional and contemporary prayer and music. Each service includes lively congregational melodies, traditional chant (nusach), meaningful English readings and explanations of the prayers, and a thought-provoking sermon or brief Torah study. Our talented choir adds their voices to our services several times a year on Friday evenings, as well as on many Shabbat mornings and holidays.
We invite you to read from the Torah on Saturday morning Shabbat services! Click HERE to sign up and to view preparatory materials or contact our Ritual committee at Ritual@bethelohim.org.
