Shabbat

"For as long as the Jewish people have kept Shabbat, Shabbat has kept the Jewish people."

Shabbat, the seventh day of the week, is a time set aside from normal obligations to allow us to focus on family, friends and that which is sacred in our lives.  Congregation Beth El welcomes the Shabbat every Friday night with a song-filled service celebrating the week's end and welcoming in a period of rest and rejuvenation.  Throughout the year, our Kabbalat Shabbat and Shir Shabbat services typically begin at 7:00 p.m. and are currently being held via Zoom.

Throughout the summer months, we hold several "Shabbat on the Beach" services.  These are held in person at the noted location.

On Saturday mornings we reconvene for a more meditative service of prayer and learning.  These regular Shabbat morning services begin at 10:00 a.m. and are held in person at Temple Emanu-El (29 Dayton Rd., Waterford).

Please contact the office at office@bethel-nl.org or (860) 442-0418 should you need the Zoom link or more information.
