Prayer

Temple Beth Am offers multiple worship opportunities for members and visitors.

Daily Minyan

Do a mitzvah by attending Temple Beth Am's daily morning and evening minyanim, led by a group of dedicated lay people. If you are saying kaddish after the death of a loved one, observing a yahrzeit, or if you want to begin or end your workday with a moment of communal warmth and spiritual reflection, this is the place for you.

Morning Minyan meets Monday – Friday at 7:30 a.m., Sunday & Federal holidays at 8:00 a.m.

Friday Night Shabbat

On Ziering Family Field & In Your Home
Check this schedule for weekly times

As Shabbat arrives earlier each wintery week, our community comes together on Ziering Field for minha, Kabbalat Shabbat, and Ma'ariv led by the TBA clergy and/or rabbinic interns. Register in advance to come in-person, or join on Zoom & livestream to engage virtually.

Sovev Returns! On the first and third Friday nights of each month (watch the calendar for exceptions), we'll circle up in song as we feature beloved contemporary & classic a cappella tunes with TBA clergy in live harmony. Alternating Friday evenings will be "Neshama Minyan"-style, highlighting classic nusah & Carlebach melodies.

Community @ HOME Shabbat Dinner

Enjoy a warm, comforting and delicious meal as you celebrate Shabbat with TBA from home. We will come together for services, whether you join us on the field or from your Shabbat table, say the blessings together and leave you to enjoy a taste of TBA for dinner. Each dinner will be thematic to the location that we are visiting through our TBA Tours Online program. Plus digital Shabbat package of experiences for the whole family (mini-service, blessings, questions for the table, ways to engage kids, other families to join for dinner online, etc).

Upcoming dates: Dec. 11, Jan. 15
