Worship
The Hebrew word Avodah has at least two distinct yet connected meanings; worship and work. Worship (prayer/services) forms and informs the core of our synagogue life and it is also the "work" of our synagogue. The Avodah Committee, along with our rabbi, is responsible for planning and coordinating services and ritual observances, as well as reviewing ritual practice guidelines.
Beit Tikvah strives to provide a varied and meaningful service experience, whether it is for observance of Shabbat, Holidays or a Shivah minyan. We know that each of us has different needs and skills. We are committed to congregant participation in all aspects of our services. We hope you will take advantage of our various offerings throughout the year to expand your service experience, support others, and obtain further insights into what you may gain from the experience as well as what you can offer. There is something for everyone! Click here to learn more about some of Beit Tikvah's Shabbat offerings.
