Shabbat
Kabbalat Shabbat
Kabbalat Shabbat (Friday evening) services provide an intimate setting to usher in Shabbat. The service is held on the first Friday of each month and includes traditional and contemporary melodies with voices joined together, helping to close out the workweek and ease us into a day of rest and connection with friends and family. The service is also live-streamed on Zoom. Contact the Temple Office to find out about Community dinners.
Shabbat Morning
Shabbat morning in our magnificent Goldberg Sanctuary is a special time at BZBI. We offer a warm and friendly environment in which to greet friends and be inspired by the words and music of our traditional egalitarian service – to celebrate our simchas (celebrations) and those of other congregants and to provide one another with spiritual support and comfort in difficult times. In addition, the service is offered on Zoom. Every Shabbat includes a full reading of the week’s parashah. Services begin at 9:30 AM every Saturday.
Board Game Shabbat
Join members of BZBI after Kiddush for Board Game Shabbat, which takes place the third Saturday of each month (with some exceptions). Play some of your favorite games from Mahjongg to Wingspan.
Feel free to bring your own Shabbat friendly game and Kosher snacks to share!
