8:00 AM – Ta’anit Bechorot Service and Siyyum
Ta’anit Bechorot, or the Fast of the Firstborn, commemorates God protecting firstborn Israelites during the last plague inflicted upon the ancient Egyptians. Join us for a Siyyum, (a special meal which happens after someone finishes a Talmud learning cycle) which can be a replacement for the fast. Sponsored by the Spiegel Family in honor of Ryan’s grandfather, Dr. George Spiegel

Our Sunday minyan meets at Shaare Torah at 9:00 am on the first and third Sundays of each month. This welcoming service includes opportunities to sing and pray together and a vort or word of Torah. It is a nourishing way to start the new week.
We are pleased to offer a virtual Minyan On Demand to ensure our members can say Kaddish with a Minyan of their fellow community members. Minyan on Demand will be listed on our calendar and on the Homepage when scheduled, and can be accessed here.
To schedule a Minyan on Demand, please contact our Minyan on Demand Chair Morris Solomon
Below are links to live-streamed weekday minyan services from other Conservative congregations and organizations.
