Beth Israel Judea worship seeks to nurture the Jewish soul. From our weekly Friday evening Kabbalat Shabbat and Saturday morning service to the holidays, BIJ presents a unique blend of traditional and contemporary practice, and always with beautiful music. We hope to rekindle and to strengthen your relationship with God in our worship.
Rabbi Rosalind Glazer and Cantorial Soloist David Morgenstern are committed to a Judaism that is vibrant, relevant and compelling, and making Beth Israel Judea your "spiritual home."
Some of the Erev Shabbat services are based around a theme: the monthly Hebrew Drum and Chant service features congregational vocalists and a group of drummers; and the service on the first Friday evening of the month brings the wonderful song-leader Ira Levin.
The congregation uses the new Siddur Eit Ratzon prayerbook, which features side-by-side Hebrew prayers, English transliterations and translations as well as meaningful additions.
We also have services for special occasions, lead by lay leaders, youth and synagogue groups such as the Jewish War Veterans, as well as specific services for families and young children.
The usual times for Shabbat services are:
7:30 PM for Friday evening Kabbalat Shabbat.
10:00 AM for Shabbat morning services.
