Oneg

After service we gather downstairs for a shared meal called "oneg", a Hebrew word meaning "delight".

We would love to have you stay for oneg, fellowship,

After Burn

This is a new service. We open up a format to be less formal and open up discussion on the sermon or today's torah portion

Havdalah

Havdalah is Hebrew for “separation” and refers to the verbal declaration made at the end of Sabbath or a Jewish holiday, in which the holy day is separated from the mundane period that follows. Since the Jewish day's begin and end with nightfall, Havdalah may be said only once darkness has fallen on Saturday night.
