Experience the heartwarming blend of traditional egalitarian Shabbat morning services, engaging children’s programming, Torah study, enlightening talks, alternative creative services, spirited Israeli dancing, and the camaraderie of communal Kiddush. Whatever you seek on Shabbat, Darchei Noam has something to offer!
Our Shabbat morning services, filled with joyous singing accompanied by instruments, moments of contemplative reflection, and insightful divrei Torah (teachings), create a backdrop for life cycle celebrations within our welcoming community.
Enhance your communal Shabbat experience by joining our Kiddush lunch. Whether you participate in our morning Torah study, celebrate a simcha with a community family, join in our monthly Israeli dancing sessions, or host your own gathering, Shabbat at Darchei Noam is a chance to reconnect with old friends and make new ones!
We follow the Reconstructionist prayer book Kol Haneshamah Shabbat v’Chagim. Services take place on Saturday mornings at 10 am, with child care available. All our services are also streamed via Zoom!.
If you’d like a community member to accompany you during a Darchei Noam service, simply let us know – we’d be delighted to arrange it!
Come and immerse yourself in the richness and diversity of our community’s Shabbat observances.

Tisha B’Av Service

Join us as we mark Tisha B’Av with Ma’ariv (evening service), chanting from Megilat Eicha (the Book of Lamentations), poetry, singing, and reflection.
Together, we will acknowledge this day of mourning as we remember the destruction of the Temples, other tragedies throughout Jewish history, and the brokenness we continue to witness in our world today.
Through prayer, music, and community, we create space for grief while imagining the possibility of renewal.
All are welcome to join us for this meaningful service.
