While we may not be able to be together physically, we can still gather virtually as a community for prayer, programming and Jewish learning. Please join us for a week of virtual programming, accessible on our website, Facebook page, and YouTube channel.
Daily and Shabbat Services
IMPORTANT UPDATE: Because we are limiting the number of congregants in attendance, we are making our B'nai Mitzvah services private family events. On the weekends that we have a B'nai Mitzvah in the Barg Sanctuary, we are offering a Member Led service in the Freedman Levit Sanctuary to allow our members to continue attending services in the building. We are currently allowing 20 members who have registered in advance to attend that service.
A Chapel-Style evening minyan occurs Saturday-Thursday in the Barg Sanctuary. Open to both men and women, it currently consists of 20 members who have registered in advance. Check the calendar for the service times.
Our goal is to provide in-person worship services, when deemed safe and appropriate, while protecting our congregants and staff. Individuals identified as high risk or higher risk are advised to remain home to limit their risk of exposure. We encourage these individuals to participate through our numerous virtual service options.
Registration for in-person services is available to members only, and requires logging in to reserve your space. Only those pre-registered individuals will be allowed on campus.
Your Sisterhood Giftshop is open by appointment! To schedule an appointment call 713.666.1881 and leave a message or emailing them directly giftshop@bethyeshurun.org
