Daily and Shabbat Services 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 up to 40 members who have registered in advance to attend that service.
The J.B. Greenfield Chapel minyan occurs daily in the Freedman Levit Sanctuary, visit our website for times, registration, and streaming. It currently consists of up to 40 members who have registered in advance.
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.
