“Prayer is a way to discern between the signal and the trivial, between the vital and the futile. Prayer clarifies our hopes and intentions. It helps us discover our true aspirations, the pangs we ignore, the longings we forget. It gives us the opportunity to be honest, to say what we believe, and to stand for what we say.”
—Rabbi A.J. Heschel
Below are the various Friday night services Anshe Emet offers throughout the month:
A traditional congregational service for all that welcomes Shabbat with joy most weeks. Anshe Emet’s Shabbat Evening Service is held at 6PM in the Malkov Chapel, unless otherwise noted.
Our Rabbis and Cantors welcome you to a beautiful Shabbat experience at 9:30am each Shabbat. Whether celebrating a Bar/Bat Mizvah, an Auf Ruf, baby naming or commemorating other life cycle events, prayer participation and Torah Study are at the core of this spiritual service.
Anshe Emet Synagogue’s Rose Crown Minyan meets every Shabbat morning at 9:30am in Malkov Chapel. The Minyan is an intimate, traditional service, committed to egalitarian and participatory worship. Run completely by lay people (with the occasional assistance of our clergy) since 1994, the Minyan offers a more traditional alternative to the main service, with a full P’sukei D’zimrah (introductory Psalms) and a complete Torah reading each week.
We offer these Youth and Family Services each Shabbat.
9:30AM – 10:15AM
