Temple Ami Shalom is an egalitarian synagogue, with men and women sharing equally in all parts of the service. We sing and pray in both Hebrew and English as we work together to create services which are meaningful for all participants. Every service is open to children of all ages so please bring the whole family!

 

Shabbat:

Temple Ami Shalom holds regular Friday night and Shabbat morning services. Friday night services range from a traditional Kabbalat Shabbat/Ma’ariv service to our song-filled Musical Shabbat and oneg. We also have a monthly potluck dinner and services held in a congregant’s home. We currently use Likrat Shabbat to guide our prayers on Friday nights.

 

Friday night start times:

1st Friday: 6:30pm. Shabbat potluck dinner, followed by service at 7:30pm

2nd/3rd Friday: 7:30pm. Traditional service.

4th Friday: 7:30pm. Musical Shabbat.

5th Friday: 7:30pm. Traditional service.

 

Saturday morning services are held in our main sanctuary, beginning with Shacharit at 9:30am. Twice a month, Rabbi Michael Barclay leads the congregation in prayer, with members of the congregation leading the other services. We daven from Siddur Hadash and utilize the Etz Hayim Chumash for our Torah service. All services are followed by a kiddush lunch at approximately 12:45pm, with subsequent Torah study with Rabbi Barclay on the Shabbat afternoons he is with us.
