Worship
Jews have always valued communal prayer - the minyan. Prayer is like an ember: Alone it can easily grow cold, but being part of a larger community we can find warmth, light, and the ability to sustain each other.
Worship is an opportunity to take the mundane moments of time and infuse them with holiness. At Beth Or, we use music, thought, spirituality and prayer to create lasting Jewish experiences for you and your family. We welcome you to join us for services each week on Shabbat in-person or virtually via live webstream and the Beth Or Facebook Page, and for holidays throughout the year.
Please use the links on the side of this page to learn more about our different Shabbat services, holidays & festivals, and how Beth Or is here for all of your family's life cycle events.
If you are participating in an upcoming service, please visit the Audio/Video Resources page to find a variety of prayers and blessings which can help you prepare.
Beth Or is here to help support those who are in mourning. We encourage you to visit our House of Mourning page to find text & audio versions of related prayers and readings, download/view the mourning prayer book, and access links to make a donation or purchase a permanent memorial plaque to honor your loved one.
