Tot Shabbat

Joining us for Tot Shabbat (usually first Friday of the month) is a great way for you to get to know your community while celebrating Shabbat. Friday evening Tot Shabbat service starts 5:30pm and is followed by a community dinner (RSVP required). We also offer Tot Shabbat on select Saturday mornings at 11:15am, followed by a community oneg. Enjoy a short, child friendly service and then settle in for a schmooze while the children play — all are welcome! Make sure to check our calendar for upcoming Tot Shabbat dates.

Friday Night Shabbat B'yachad - Shabbat Together

Shabbat B'yachad is a family worship service and community dinner that brings together our entire TOS family every month. A satisfying dinner for both children and adults follows our Tot Shabbat Service after which we join for family services featuring Ansin Religious School students and our Shabbat Band led by David Sparr. Mahkelah Youth Choir and the Adult Choir often add their voices in songful prayer. Evening draws to a close chatting over coffee and dessert with old and new friends. A wonderful way to catch your breath, greet the Shabbat Angels and start a stress free weekend. Relax! It's Shabbat.
