Daily and Shabbat Services
Our goal is to provide in-person worship services 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.
As vaccination rates continue to increase – City of Houston guidelines and our medical advisers have given us the ability to expand the number of in-person participants to 135 for services. Our Oneg Shabbat is back, join us after services in the Sukkah courtyard. Registration is only required for our Friday night Shabbat Renewal service - space is limited and reserved for members.
In addition, our daily J.B. Greenfield Chapel service is also open to members with no registration required.
