Shabbat All Together

We have reimagined our monthly First Fridays as Shabbat All Together. We are excited to invite all generations to join us for a Meet and Mingle pre-service snack at 5:30 P.M., followed by a brief family-friendly Shabbat service at 5:45 P.M. and a catered Shabbat dinner for all at 6:30 P.M.

Rishonim

Children age 3 to 5 are invited to register for Rishonim — a warm, nurturing introduction to Jewish life taught by Mindy Elins, an experienced early-childhood educator! Come meet other young families, and learn about Jewish rituals and holidays through music, stories, crafts, games, and more!

Classes run from 10:00 to 11:30 A.M. on 13 Sundays and 2 Saturdays, September through May; registration required.

New! Saturday Mornings

This year, we are introducing 2 Shabbat mornings with a short service filled with singing and dancing, led by Rabbi Sandi Intraub and followed by a light brunch.

To register, please contact Lara Riehle, Temple Administrator at (617) 484-6668 or This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
