Services. Tefillah and spirituality for the entire family.
Prayer, holiday celebrations, and spiritual fulfillment are a key focal point at Congregation Beth Am. Our synagogue offers an array of services and worship opportunities.
Daily minyanim, weekly Shabbat services, High Holy Days, traditional observances, musical gatherings or Torah study, no matter what you’re looking for – joy, devotion, self-reflection, renewal – you’ll find it.
Weekly
Daily Minyan
Monday - Thursday | 6:00 pm
Sunday | 10:00 am
Location: Beit Midrash
Come together with the Beth Am family daily Monday-Thursday evenings and Sunday mornings, enabling those who are mourning or observing a Yahrzeit to recite the Kaddish prayer, which can only be done in the presence of a quorum (ten or more adults over the age of Bar/Bat Mitzvah). Your presence, therefore, honors both the deceased and the living. When there are Jewish and national holidays observed, please check our main calendar to confirm if there is a minyan or not. Thank you.
Friday Nights
Friday Night Shabbat Service
