Shabbat Service Participation

Your help is needed this summer!

Each week in the summer, we invite members to prepare and give a D'var Torah on both Friday nights and Saturday mornings, to chant Torah and Haftarah at our Saturday morning service, and to act as ushers on Saturday mornings.

Some experience is required for chanting Torah, but we will help any interested members practice and prepare for these roles.

Please let us know how and when you would like to participate below.

Chant Torah and Haftarah

Members are invited to chant the first Torah and Haftarah portion at each Saturday service in the summer.

Our clergy will provide you with everything you need to prepare in order to chant Torah, including rehearsals in advance. If you have not chanted Torah before or need significant practice, please let us know before signing up for a date. If you are confident in your chanting skills, please pick a date and join us on the bimah.
