For Guests/Visitors
What are Shabbat services like at TBT?
Our Friday night services are participatory. Guests are invited to join in the prayers and sing along with us, as much as they are comfortable. Our Rabbi guides us through the service, the prayer book readings are in English, Hebrew, and transliterated Hebrew, so most people can follow along easily, even those unfamiliar with Hebrew. Our Cantor leads us in song, and even if you “don’t sing,” you will find our service music warm, uplifting, and engaging. Learn more about our Shabbat services.
Do I have to be a member to attend a service?
All of our services are open to the public, and children are always welcome! Learn more about our Shabbat services.
