Alternative Prayer Experiences

Meditation Shabbat
Hazzan Itzhak Zhrebker and Debra Lewis Kaplan, an integrative psychotherapist, lead an alternative short service exploring knowing and connecting to God and meditating and connecting to the divine spark within and beyond. Each session will focus on different aspects and techniques of meditation including prayer, breathwork, and guided imagery. Come open your soul and mind. Learn to be more open to the present moment, less reactive and more contemplative with prayer. To read Debra's full biography, click HERE

​Mindfulness Shabbat
Rabbi Shira Wallach leads a musical, introspective journey, allowing for reflection on the past week.

​
Learn, Pray, Sing!
New This Year! Join our rabbis and guest musicians for an hour of inspirational teaching about the Shabbat morning service, meaningful and intentional prayer, and wonderful music which you can sing, hum, or even drum along with. This service is perfect for those who want to gain both more of an understanding of the prayers and find new pathways into prayer through easy-to-learn and easy-to-sing melodies. 

Shabbat Hour
Rabbi Shira Wallach and Rabbi Adam Roffman lead an hour-long experience with all the touchpoints of the traditional Morning service, along with inspirational teaching and singable, uplifting music. ​
