Welcome to Worship Services

Weekly Shabbat services usually held on Fridays at 7:00 pm are in-person at the Synagogue AND simultaneously broadcast via the internet. Because of the invasion of Israel and anti-Antisemitism rising around the world, we will be erring on the  side of caution for upcoming Friday evening services and lock the outside doors ten minutes after the scheduled start time.

We are now using our purple congregational prayer book, Siddur B’rit Shalom. If you intend to join us via Livestream for a good amount of time, please contact Rabbi Ostrich (rabbiostrich@britshalomstatecollege.org), and we will arrange to send you a prayer book.
