Shabbat, or the Sabbath, is a day of rest and is celebrated every week from Friday night at sundown (25 hours). On Shabbat, we spend time with family, pray, read, and rejuvenate. Many Jewish people light candles to symbolically ward off the darkness and welcome the Divine.
At Congregation Solel, we are constantly thinking of ways to make prayer accessible, appealing, and meaningful for our congregation. Whether through music, meditations, readings, or ideas, our intention is to create a moving experience for all those who enter our sacred space. Our hope is that each person who comes into our Sanctuary will leave transformed by the power of the prayer experience, whether on a spiritual, emotional, or intellectual level.
Prayer at Congregation Solel is participatory, warm, and welcoming. Please join us on Friday evening at 7:30pm on most weeks or at 6:15pm on the last Shabbat of the month. On Saturday mornings, we offer a lay-led Minyan service at 10:35am. When scheduled, Bar or Bat Mitzvah services take place at 10:30am.
On Friday evenings, we offer the following worship experiences:
