Rock and Soul Shabbat A joyous hand-clapping, singing and dancing musical service to celebrate the Sabbath in a way you've never experienced before! Our very own smokin' Temple Beth El Band plays jazz, rock, gospel, and folk melodies for our ancient prayers...as Cantor Manny and some special guest performers lead us in prayer.
Shlomo Carlebach Services At these special events, we sing the soulful and joyous music of Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach, who was called “The Singing Rabbi” for his Hassidic folk melodies that became famous around the world. Our Carlebach services are enhanced by our amazing Temple Beth El musicians, who play guitar, bass, and bongos, as we welcome Shabbat with joy and gratitude! Friday Nite Live We sing and dance in the aisles, as we welcome Shabbat in a wonderful musical evening that includes a Klezmer style band. Shabbat Renewal Services These spiritual and joyful Saturday morning services generally take place once a month. Gentle yoga exercises, with a Jewish touch, help us clear our minds, balance our bodies, and get us ready to focus on our prayers. Rabbi Allan Tuffs, playing his guitar, and Cantor Manny Silver, with his warm, melodious voice, lead the services. Drums, tambourines, and shakers are available to all who want to join in. Sometimes these services are held outdoors, adding a symphony of birdsong to our music and prayers. A spirited Torah discussion and meditation, led by Rabbi Tuffs, round out these wonderful mornings, after which, we share an enjoyable lunch with Rabbi and Cantor Manny, to which we have each brought a vegetarian or dairy dish for four. These very popular Shabbat services leave us with a wonderful feeling of peace and happiness.
