Simchat Shabbat lets us welcome and celebrate Shabbat with friends, family and Beth Torah community. It begins with your schedule. Some of you work during the day; some do not. Some are empty nesters, some are teens, and some have children to take care of. Some are retired and some families are two working adults in a household. Some are single and some have partners or spouses. We have developed a Shabbat schedule for everyone.

Simchat Shabbat happens once a month on Friday night at Beth Torah! Other Fridays we will continue to worship at 6:30 p.m. with Nosh beginning at 6:00 p.m. Feel free to arrive whenever it’s convenient, and leave when it’s best for you. We seek to welcome Shabbat together, in whatever way fits your tight schedule. See you there!
