Shir Hadash: A New Song

Third Friday most months 5:45 pm (Aug. – May)

Led by and featuring Emily Ellentuck as cantorial soloist, this service includes singing, clapping, participatory melodies, niggunim (wordless chants), and more involvement by all who attend. Everyone is welcome. It’s a new way to embrace Shabbat!

Shabbat Family Experience

Second Saturday every month 10:30 am

Share in this interactive, spirit-filled and participatory service led by children in the Religious School and Tucson Hebrew Academy. This program is a mandatory part of religious school, yet everyone is welcome. Participants lead services, discuss the meaning of some of the prayers and act out scenes from the weekly Torah portion.

K’Ton Time

Third Saturday every month 10:30 am

This fun and lively 20-minute service includes songs, prayers, stories and games. After the service everyone is invited to a kid-friendly Kiddush where each child’s attendance is acknowledged in song. This is followed by playground time (or preschool classroom time during the summer) for kids and schmoozing time for parents. Then we join the main congregation for the end of sanctuary services and kiddush. K’Ton Time is geared to families with kids ages 1 to 6, but every family is welcome!

Minyan Shelanu – "Our Minyan"

Fourth Saturday most months 10:30 am

Join us to daven and learn together in a warm, spiritual service led by congregants. All ages are welcome. Participate as much as you want: lead a prayer, pick a tune, share your knowledge, make this a meaningful experience… ask questions!

Kaddish

Mourners Kaddish

“Magnified and sanctified be His great name…”

These are the opening words to the Mourner’s Kaddish, the words that have been spoken throughout the generations… the words that unite the generations like no others. Do you need to say Kaddish? Are you able to be there so others can fulfill this timeless mitzvah? Please help your fellow congregants by making a commitment to attend at least one morning minyan a month. Invest a few minutes of your time to feel good about yourself while helping others feel better about themselves. Kiddush follows morning minyan, Monday through Friday.

Gabbai

Honor yourself and your congregation by participating in services throughout the year as a Gabbai. Training is provided to ensure your comfort in being prepared for this special position. If interested in becoming a Gabbai, please contact Rabbi’s secretary.
