Traditional Night Friday Night Shabbat Services 7:30-8:30 PM
Congregation Ohev Shalom’s Traditional Friday night service is a frielich (joyful) service in which lively congregational melodies are sung by the Cantor and the congregation actively joins in. There is also a weekly study session led by one of the rabbis. Our current topic is “This Week in Jewish History.” A significant moment from the long history of the Jewish people is examined in its context and for its influence on the chain of events leading up to today. Question and discussions are always encouraged.
Friday Night CHAI!
Once a month, our regular Friday Night service is transformed into Friday Nite CHAI! Cantor Robuck and a band create moments filled with high energy and quieter moments that will fill your soul. Perfect for adults and families with children of all ages, Friday Night CHAI! includes all the statutory prayers of the evening service, including Mourners Kaddish, while introducing you to new melodies and opening new avenues for participation.

Shabbat Morning Sanctuary Service - 9:30 AM
Shabbat morning services are the most popular and beloved in the Ohev Shalom community. Let by our Cantor, the service is full of singing and congregational participation. Most of the Torah reading is handled by our volunteer Yad Squad, members of our congregation of all ages. One of our rabbis delivers an impassioned message dealing with the spiritual and contemporary issues of our time. This is the service in which we celebrate life cycle events: Bar or Bat Mitzvah, wedding aufrufs, baby-namings, wedding anniversaries, and more. This service is a true celebration of our Judaism: its teachings, songs and prayers and the sharing together of the joys of our congregational family.
