“More than the Jewish people kept Shabbat, Shabbat kept the Jewish people” – Ahad Ha’am
Shabbat is the cornerstone of community, joy, and celebration at Falmouth Jewish Congregation. Each week we gather to be lifted up in song, prayer, and community. We invite you to celebrate with us as we seek rest, renewal, and inspiration together.
Erev Shabbat Services
Every Friday night at 6pm – in person and online
Our Friday Night Services are warm, participatory, and inspirational. We welcome Shabbat with songs and rituals. Then hear a thought-provoking weekly D’var Torah (Torah teaching) which allows us to consider how Jewish wisdom might inform our own life journeys. We conclude each Friday night with a communal oneg.
Our Erev Shabbat Services are open to all, if you are not a member we ask that you let us know you plan to attend by emailing webmaster@falmouthjewish.org
Shabbat Morning Torah Study and Services
Every Saturday Morning at 10am – in person and online
Each Shabbat morning is different.
Most weeks we gather together for Torah Study, an opportunity to read and reflect on the weekly Torah portion, to better understand its lessons and how we can use them in our lives.
On the First Shabbat of the month, we have Shabbat Morning Services, with both a participatory adult service and a lay-led family oriented service. Then the two groups come together as we read from the Torah together and have a communal Kiddush lunch.
Our Saturday Mornings are open to all, if you are not a member we ask that you let us know you plan to attend by emailing webmaster@falmouthjewish.org.
