Our Unique TBS Shabbat Experience
Part of our approach to Shabbat is to have engaging programming throughout the 25 hours of Shabbat each week. From welcoming the "Sabbath Queen" to ending with a moving Havdallah.
Temple Beth Shalom offers it's members many ways to celebrate and enjoy the entire range of Shabbat. Join us for our family friendly musical Shabbat Friday evening service or sign up to host or be a guest at one of our Shalom Table Experiences in which our members host Shabbats on special themes facilitated by our specially trained "Shabbat Animator" who help to make Shabbat come alive at home.
